Sahak of the nine colors! Spells and stuff.

[Clay_More]

Ahh... thats right.. the non-slot-filling magical items...
I need to play a Munchkin wizard again, it always works to keep me well informed of items & spells.
Anyways, it looks good for him. How about...

One that grants a +10 save bonus against mind-influencing spells
One that grants Nondetection

Both should work well with a rather independent-minded wizard such as Sahak.

 

[Krishnath]

What kind of save bonus? (resitance and luck have allready been taken)

Those are good ideas, here is another:

One that grants darkvision 120'

Well, I'm off to bed, 'night

 

[Clay_More]

Hmmmm.... how about a Sahakian bonus to save? Can a save bonus be an enhancement bonus? Im not sure....

Anyways, Darkvision sounds good, no fooling him is there
I think a wizard such as Sahak, taking into account the way he has been described so far, will resent being fooled, tricked, robbed, controlled etc. Which is why Nondetection, Bonus save vs. Mind-Influencing, Darkvision are good choices, in my opinion.

And oh, goodnight Krish.

So is the basic alertness granter (found in the DMG)

Other ideas for iouns:

See Invisibility/True Seeing
Continual Flame???
Detect Thoughts

Well, there's three more ideas...


As for save bonuses, here is a few ideas:

Luck, insight, divine, arcane, enhancement (the save feats usually grants these), infernal, abyssal, celestial.

Well, the list could go on for ever. Just make something up

 

[Clay_More]

Well, the list could go on for ever. Just make something up

I thought I just did (Sahakian)

Anyways, True Seeing sounds kewl, a bit high but not bad. He is epic, after all. Detect Thoughts is kewl as well, he's gonna be pretty annoying to be close to, since he knows & sees everything. Continual flame.... what IS that....... isnt that supposed to be Light?.... hmmm

Could call it Infernal (he's a Tiefling, lets bend it just for him a bit).

 

[Krishnath]

Infernal it is then...

Here are the stats for some of the iouns (inspired by the list in the DMG):

Color - - - - - Shape - - - - Effect - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cost

Crystalline - - Sphere - - - Grants True Seeing (as the spell) - 150.000 Gp

Turquoise - - - Rhomboid - - Toughness (as the feat) - - - - - - 8.000 Gp

Brimstone - - - Sphere - - - See below* - - - - - - - - - - - - - 50.000 Gp

Pink- - - - - - Trapezoid - - Continual Flame Effect - - - - - - 180 Gp

* grants a +10 infernal bonus on saves against mind-influencing effects.

-

Well, you get the general idea, I'm going to make a doc file full of new iouns. (That's my weekend project...)

Any more ideas for new Iouns?

 

[Clay_More]

Color for Toughness Ioun - How about something more gritty & crude, like wooden brown?

Crystalline Lavender - - Ellipsoid - - See Below* - - 20.000 gp ?

Crystalline Blue - - Sphere - - Detect Thoughts - - 8.000 gp

Dark Pink - - Rhomboid - - +20 enhancement bonus to concentration - - 8.000 gp

Dusty Blue - - Prism - - +5 insight bonus to AC - - 22.000 gp


*Absorbs Illusion spells up to 8 th. level (Absorb 50 spell levels before turning dull gray)

Absorbtion Effect: I used your Crystalline to show its connection to True Seeing & thereby illusion-shattering effects. Shape is still defined by its Absorbing effect.

Detect Thoughts Effect: I used Crystalline in unison with blue, which is the color that has to do with Intelligence & Wisdom effects.

Concentration Bonus: Dark Pink, seemed obvious since Constitution was Pink.

AC Bonus: Simply used the Deflection bonus stone, altered color to show that bonus is Insight instead of Deflection.

 

[Krishnath]

That's the spirit, a few comment's though:

Crystalline Lavender Ellipsoid - I suggest increasing the cost by 10% (to 22.000 gp)

Crystalline Blue Sphere - Cost should probably be higher. Is there a wonderous item that lets it's wearer Detect Thoughts. If so, take that items cost and double it.

Dark Pink Rhomboid - Cost should be 16.000 gp

Dusty Blue Prism - Cost should again be much higher 100.000 gp to be exact (5*5*2000*2)

Good efforts, although you forget to double the items cost from them not using item slots. Good work never the less

Mind if I use some of them for my file?

Also I chose turquoise because it hadn't been done before

Later,

 

[Clay_More]

Yeah, sure, use them as you see fit. Im bad at prices (I never calculate them, I just wing it) just as bad as I am with CR & other numericals....

Anyways, is he close to having sufficient Ioun stones yet?
We got: Stats / Skills / Feats / Epic Feats / Magic Items / Weapons (dagger) / Armor (none)

We got spells & creatures settled (relatively)....

So, will a finalised version of Sahak appear before us soon?

 

[Krishnath]

Sometime next week, I guess...

Got SBG? (stronghold builders guidebook). If so, perhaps we should start on his 'tower'.

Later,

And of to bed, for me
