[sblock]I'm dropping the five throwing axes I picked up from the last treasure trove/armory we came across to get my Light Load.
If anybody wants them...
So far, all I've taken is the Masterwork Chainshirt and the coin the Beholder gave us, which is of course Group Profit for any of the members that are practical enough to take it.[/sblock]

Can every one plz give an OOC update with the group loot that they have, so I can make a Loot list.

Ps. Velmont, your not as weak as you think your missing 1 HP
Lvl 1 = Max 4-2 = 2
Lvl 2 = Low 4-2 = 1
Lvl 3 = Hi 4-2 = 2
Lvl 4 = Low 4-2 = 1

Total HP = 6, that’s one more the dog’s have nothing on you

Now, I don't understand you maths. First, because 4 minus 2 doesn't equal 1. Second, because I've always had in mind that the hp was: 1st Max, 3/4 after that, making 4 then 3 per level for basic, and so, it would make (4-2) + (3-2) + (3-2) + (3-2) = 5...

Majin, am I wrong?

 

[Velmont]

Just a question for you about treasure splitting. IC talking, I don't expect any treasure. After all, I did nothing to get rid of the slavers. OOC talking, I would like to gather 2000gp as soon as possible to craft my amulet of health...

Oh, and Majin, just a question, I thought to carry some book with my Floating Disk, how many bookcan I carry and how much would I be able to sell them?

They way it works is that you take max HP for first lvl all the other lvl’s you don’t take 75% of the D4, but 75% of the D4 + the constitution modifier.
Because that 75% isn’t always a rounded number you should round down for all the even lvl’s and round up for all the uneven lvl’s

In your case your D4 + con = 2
75% of 2 = 1.5 …so this becomes 1 on the even lvl’s and 2 on the uneven lvl’s.

Sorry I should have used “round up” and “round down” instead of “High” “Low’

 

[hippocrachus]

That's not how I've ever done it, Dhes :\
I take 75% of whatever the Hit Die is.
I.E. 3 for a d4.
But if it's like a d10, you take High 8 and Low 7 interchangibly.
Then add your CON bonus...

 

[Dhes]

Hummm… k it could be that me and Majin have lost track of the system that we use… :\
Plz disregard my post till further notice.
We should really start writing these things down…
Sorry Velmont I guess that a dog could kill you…

 

[Velmont]

No prob, I'll fight hamster instead.

 

[Majin]

I believe the others are correct Dhes. I had forgotten to take the Con bonus into consideration when you brought up the possibillity of Velmont's HP being off. So no changes needed then Velmont. You're good to go.

As for your disk question, as the book says, 100 pounds per caster level can be carried. As for a books weight, the Arms & Equipment guide says 2 pounds for False books with the middle section hollowed out. I think a properly full wizard's tome should be a nicely divisible number like 5.

So for 4th level, 400 pounds / 5 pounds per book = 80 books.

 

[Velmont]

Well, the PHB says a spellbook of 100 pages is 3lbs each... but it is also a question fo volume. 100 books take a lot of place. Anyway, Leanthas would think it would be a waste to leave those book behind, so he will just pack as much book as he can on the disk. He will surely gives it to some institution who would be willing to maintain it. It would be even better if they would be willing to pay for them... A blank spellbook worth 15gp, but I don't know how much would worth a written book, surely it would depend on the containt... bah, we'll deal that IC.

 

[Majin]

Yes, I did notice the weight on the ordinary sized wizard's book. This is where it gets into a gray area. When I created the room, the books I invisioned to be placed in there with you, were much much larger than the picture shown of an average one. That is the reason I've given them the weight of 5 lb. as well. Considering you want to take these books with you, i used that weight in the example. But of course you can put a whole range of things on the disk.

What is your intention with the books though? Would your character want to actually try and sell all those books, or would he much rather have them in his personal collection?
