Shackled City - OoC II

[Dhes]

Lol don’t worry I’ll keep my hands from your books.
I don’t know what the others think, but it’s your loot to, any thing that you would want from the loot or buy with the money, will only help the group.

 

[Velmont]

OOC, all I want is an amulet of Health as soon as possible. Before the first combat if possible, but I doubt the loot would be high enough for it. IC, Leanthas doesn't care much about the loot. All he want is to continue his studies. The book worth more than anything you have there, but he won't spit on gold once he will have decided to follow the group for now (he hasn't pass in front of the High Priestess, so he isn't sure what to expect for teh futur).

Just to take note, the amulet ias only 2000 gp worth for Leanthas, as he can create it for that cost. He might spend some time creating items for the group, for a fee, if the others are interested, but let's see the Priestess first.

Well the priestess/church would not expect non-members to tithe. They would accept of course, but I suggest that the party split the loot before the tithe, as I'm sure some will not wish to give up a part of their share.

 

[Majin]

Velmont - You wanted an Amulet of Health +2, since it is the cheapest, right? It is 4,000gp and grants a +2 to Con. The only problem is the caster level is 8 to create it and it doesn't look like you will have enough to afford it with your share of the loot. Giving only a +2 to Con I don't see how this will help Leanthas right away. Did you perhaps mean a different amulet?

 

[Verbatim]

Before you lump everything up as just vendor bait, I still am wondering on the horn, is it a hunting horn or a solid ivory horn, like from an elephant or something like that?

Also, I think we need to spend some money to see what that wand is, if it is a wand of ID, then the sacrifice of one of the pearls we have is well worth it in the long run.

Also, I will be posting Zeric's spells up soon as I have a few thoughts on how to bring them into being..

 

[Velmont]

I know my share won't be enough. I had planned that since the start, that's why I have False Life as one of my sceond level spells.

I was talking about that amulet, but the caster level isn't a requirement, it is just a default level of the creator, in case you need it for some other reason (dispel magic maybe...). Here, in the SRD document, you can read:

Caster Level
The next item in a notational entry gives the caster level of the item, indicating its relative power. The caster level determines the item’s saving throw bonus, as well as range or other level-dependent aspects of the powers of the item (if variable). It also determines the level that must be contended with should the item come under the effect of a dispel magic spell or similar situation. This information is given in the form "CL x," where "CL" is an abbreviation for caster level and "x" is an ordinal number representing the caster level itself.

For potions, scrolls, and wands, the creator can set the caster level of an item at any number high enough to cast the stored spell and not higher than her own caster level. For other magic items, the caster level is determined by the creator. The minimum caster level is that which is needed to meet the prerequisites given.

Prerequisites
Certain requirements must be met in order for a character to create a magic item. These include feats, spells, and miscellaneous requirements such as level, alignment, and race or kind. The prerequisites for creation of an item are given immediately following the item’s caster level.

Which imply that the caster level isn't a pre-requisit. So the only pre-requisit I don't have is the spell Bear's Endurence, but that can be easily corrected.

And the +2 Con isn't that bad, as it will give me 1 hp per level, almost doubling my hps

 

[Majin]

Ah yes, of course. Jumped on that too quick to realize. Well you should probably have enough to craft it if need be then. Dhes is finalizing the price list at the moment and should hopefully have something up today.

 

[Velmont]

And I don't know how much XP I can spend on item creation before losing a level, or how much time I have to create items before continuing our quest, but I might create items for other memebers of the group for some fee...

Who want a wonderous items at 75% of the price?

 

[Verbatim]

Its all good Majin..happens to the best of us...

The item creation world is a mighty strange and imposing beast, hence the reason Ayden has not created anything yet. That and no down time to do it in...*L*

 

[Verbatim]

I think there is a rule where you can't spend so much XP that you lose a lvl, but not 100% sure on that one. If there is a reason to work time into the game, Zeric still has three more months of "parole" he has to serve with Gurnezarn, a dwarven smith in Cauldron. That should be plenty of time I think....

However, only Majin knows for sure and as the wily poker player he is, he is never going to give us a tell to figure this out...
