Serious inquiries only please - 100th level adventure hook and module in development

[Sage]

Hey Ozmar, I would like to play in your campaign if you ever start it, I have a character from an fr campaign that didn't last more than 2 sessions

 

[Yair]

And a note to all the spellcasters out there. There's an ioun stone that adds +1 to caster level, since the bonus has no "name" and bonuses with no "name" stack and you can have an infinite amount of ioun stones... well, you do the math.

Now that's cheesy. I'd limit it to one such Ioun stone, really.

Oh and I know SR is expensive because it will quickly lead to over-use, but if you buy the cloak in the ELH (SR 40) can you buy it for the normal price (290,000 gp)
btw. for 50,000,000 you only get SR 62

Huh? Using your own SRD, the market price on SR is (SR-12)x10,000, or (SR-12)x100,000 for Epic SR by out guidelines. That's 5,000,000 for SR 62, and a maximum of 10,000,000 with SR 112.
If you just want SR 40 and want to stick to ELH prices, that's fine I guess. But we set out the rules to make it at least SOMEWHAT expensive, I think getting good SR should be worth that.

There are quite a few characters from my campaigns that didn't last a single session.

Oh, I thought you wrote the rule because is was x10x10 which would make it 1,000,000 per SR over 12. All other epic items have the x10 price tag, so writing it specifically for SR confused me.

I wrote the rule because the ELH implies that, like spellcaster level, SR does not incur the x10 cost multiplier. Compare the price of Mantle of Epic SR to the formula, it follows the formula without the x10.

 

[Sage]

Well Here's my character, it's almost done, though I'll probably have to do a lot of tweaking.
Man, when I read the epic skill DCs... my character is soooooo cool

[Yair]

Hi all,

I'm going to a conference now and I'll have spatchy internet access at best and no real time for the next two weeks, so I expect not to post till it's over.
I'm looking forward to resuming work on this project when I return!

Yair

P.S, sage: Your character uses a lot of custom made magic items, and some are a bit problematic. For example, you gain a lot of insight, luck, and other bonuses to AC which goes against our guidelines. Some items I have no idea how to price (instant-returning?). Also, you don't need to keep the "old items" in stock, such as the lesser increases to Int.
Anyways, this is just my quick impression from reading it, I don't have time to go over it - my wife is waiting in the door.
I hope I'm not being a jerk, I just want chargen to be as orthodox as possible since I want people that play this adventure to play a level 100 D&D adventure, not someone's house rules.

 

[Sage]

Thouigh you're not here, I'll reply for others to read and respond to.

P.S, sage: Your character uses a lot of custom made magic items, and some are a bit problematic.

The DMG and ELHB items are really not powerful enough for 100th level (I'd say 50 or 60 if you're pushing it), so custom items are a must.

For example, you gain a lot of insight, luck, and other bonuses to AC which goes against our guidelines.

I read this as only for ability scores, so diffenrent bonuses for AC (or even attack?) should be in compliance. Remember that different bonuses cost more than enhancement or deflection bonuses (but 10 luck cost less than raising +20 enhancement to +30).

Some items I have no idea how to price (instant-returning?).

I priced this at +10 market price modifier, and the highest in ELHB is +8, I could raise it to +12? it basically allows my character to throw the same weapon using his full attack.

Also, you don't need to keep the "old items" in stock, such as the lesser increases to Int.

Oh... right

I've always wanted to see what i could do with so many levels

 

[DM-Rocco]

I tend to agree with DM_Rocco that "brokeness" needs to be considered in relation to other party members. My rouge's main attack is a full round action that does about 2000 hp in total (over two rounds). I suspect that a full attack by the fighter, when fully equipped, will be in the same order or maybe less (but applicable to creatures immune to critical hits). It is these totals that set the scale.
The wizard should be able to do better, as he's expending expensive high-level slots, but not by orders of magnitude.

One thing I disagree with DM_Rocco over is the use of Wish to restore lost spell-slots. Not in my game. A wish, being a level 9 spell, could - at best - restore a level 9 slot in my game. Perhaps level 8. I'll allow a doubling of the number of regained slots per lower spell level, so you'll have, say, two level 8 slots, or 4 level 7 slots, or so on. But that's as powerful as it gets.
Even wish has its limits.

The wish thing is an option that was listed as a possible wish example. I wouldn't allow it either and I don't remember where I found that, but it was in a D&D book or a dragon magazine.

 

[DM-Rocco]

100th lvl characters are silly broken.

I'll make a wizard and we can duke it out. I'll just add a few levels to the one I played in Dar's campaign. You know... the one he nerfed every session.

(ya ya the cleric is coming too)

100th lvl wizards make me giddy.

Yes, I recall, he nerfed us both every session if you recall.

Guys, this is the gy I was telling you about. He is making a cleric for us.
