Rhun's OLD Greyhawk ALPHA OOC Thread (ToEE) -CLOSED

[Leif]

Hmmm, if we have a magic longsword that is going unclaimed and unused, Trevor might just prefer to have that instead of the +1 warhammer. Not quite sure, though, I'd just gotten used to the idea of Trevor with a warhammer. Hmmm, more thought required. Is there even a magic longsword available?

 

[Boddynock]

OK, just realized how I can have my cake and eat it, too.

Instead of a cloak of resistance +2, I'll go for a c of r +1 (1000 gp), which means I still have enough for Norryjar to be enchanted as a shock weapon (8000 gp).

 

[Leif]

Sorry, Boddy, a C of R +1 does not quite qualify as 'cake.' So it's more like "have your Chocolate Chip Cookie and eat it, too."

 

[Boddynock]

Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to at least make a nod towards his determination not to be caught like that again, while still trying to minimise the sort of frustration that an encounter like that last one with the demon engendered.

 

[Scotley]

Boddynock, there are a couple of items in your price range that might help with mind affecting spells/ablilities in MIC.

[sblock=CRYSTAL OF
MIND CLOAKING]
Price (Item Level): 500 gp (3rd) (least),
4,000 gp (8th) (lesser), or 10,000 gp
(12th) (greater)
Body Slot: — (armor crystal)
Caster Level: 5th
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) abjuration
Activation: —; see text
Weight: —
This crystal is black as a clouded night sky.
A crystal of mind cloaking protects you
against mental infiltration.
Least: This augment crystal grants
you a +1 competence bonus on saving
throws against mind-affecting spells and
abilities.
Lesser: As above, except the crystal
grants a +3 competence bonus.
Greater: As above, except the crystal
grants a +5 competence bonus. In addition,
if you fail a save against a mind-affecting
spell or ability, you can choose to reroll
the save as an immediate (mental) action.
This ability functions once per day.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, resistance.
Cost to Create: 250 gp, 20 XP, 1 day (least);
2,000 gp, 160 XP, 4 days (lesser); 5,000 gp,
400 XP, 10 days (greater).[/sblock]

Or

[sblock=MINDARMOR]
Price: +3,000 gp
Property: Armor or shield
Caster Level: 5th
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) enchantment
Activation: Immediate (mental)
Constructed of seamless and tightly bound
layers, this item steadies your thoughts when
worn.
When activated, a suit of armor or a
shield that has this property grants you
a +5 bonus on Will saves to resist mind- affecting spells and abilities until the start
of your next turn.
The mindarmor property functions
three times per day.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, heroism or empty mind (EPH 99).
Cost to Create: 1,500 gp, 120 XP, 3 days.[/sblock]

Any item that produces the effect of a 'Protection From (evil, good, law, chaos)' will also do the trick.

 

[Boddynock]

Thanks, Scotley.

The mindarmor won't fit the bill, since it was an unexpected attack which laid him low, but the least crystal of mind cloaking, in combination with the cloak of resistance +1, would give him a +2 vs mind attacks.

He's got another MW dwarven waraxe, and if he sells that (165 gp), he'll have enough for his upgrades! (9431.48 + 165 - 9500 = 96.48 gp)

@Rhun: How about it? Could he find a least crystal of mindcloaking?

That sounds like just the type of minor magic item that Ostler would have lying about unused.

 

[Rhun]

Upgrade her +1 mithril shirt to a +1 twilight mithril shirt (lowers ASF by 10%; 3,000 gp)
Least Weapon Crystal of Illumination (attached to weapon (at least MW), light as torch; 400 gp)
Healing Belt (+2 competence bonus on Heal Checks; 3 charges per day; 1/2/3: Heal 2/3/4d8 with a touch as a standard action; 750 gp)

Items approved.

 

[Rhun]

Right, we also have a second +1 longsword, I think Rhun said as much... I suppose, that's Kurt's sword then? That one hasn't been considered in the above, of course.

There is a second longsword+1 from somewhere, yes. So Trevor could use that one, or the warhammer+1. I guess it is all up to him.

(Rhun's personal opinion: With every other PC using slashing weapons, I'd keep the hammer. Just in case.)

So just in case I didn't mention it, all is approved. Least Crystal of Mind Cloaking, Cloak of Resistance +1, and Norryjar upgraded to +1 shocking waraxe.
