S@s, I just got some advice on Forivarra from my trusted advisor,[MENTION=11520]Scotley[/MENTION], and here it is:
Will it be any problem to let me make some of those changes? I don't think I will necessarily want to make all of them, but who knows, I just might. And for sure I need to spend more gold for the masterwork items.Scotley said:If I might offer a little constructive criticism from the accounting department? I think you magic item costs are a little off. I believe you have to pay for the masterwork version of an item rather than the normal item price when making magic items. So the sword is an extra 300 and the armor and shield should be another 150 each. I'd suggest dropping either the shield or the armor down to +2 saving you 5000 gp. That will cover the extra 600 for masterwork items, allow you to spend 2000 on a ring of protection +1, which means not only no loss in total armor class but a boost of +1 to your touch ac and if you choose to drop the +1 from the shield a +1 to your flatfooted AC as well. I'd spend 600 upgrading the bow to mighty at +3 so you can add your str. bonus to damage and masterwork giving you +1 to hit. You'll still have another 1800 gp to spend on a wand or other useful toy. How's that for creative accounting?
Note that in the bookUnderdarkDungeonscape, their is an armor add on that allows you to have a wand in a sheath in your shield and count is as readied without having to draw it forth. That would be very useful if you took a wand of true strike or lesser deflect where you wouldn't want to put your sword or shield down in order to cast a spell from the wand. A must have item for a sword and board duskblade I'm thinking.
