Size Changing Dog?

[Greenfield]

I would have had it done as a collar, with the abilities "use activated". When the animal needs to get small, it gets small. When it needs to get big, it gets big.

There might also be some templates that could cover some of Jake's abilities. I'm at work right now, but I seem to recall some in Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary.

And Adventure Time reeks of old school D&D atmosphere. Excellent inspirational material, IMO.

DMG, page 284.
Ring of Reduce Animal (CL 3) = Spell Level 2 x Caster Level 3 x 1,800GP = 9,000 /2 = 4,500GP.
You can turn it on and off as a standard action which provokes AoO's, it lasts 3 hours per use with infinite uses per day.

Ring of Animal Growth (CL9) = Spell Level 5 x Caster Level 9 x 1,800GP = 81,000/2 = 40,500.
You can turn it on and off as a standard action which provokes AoO's, it lasts 9 minutes per use with infinite uses per day.

As your DM, I'd reduce the cost of a Ring of Animal Growth by 10,000GP (down to 71,000) which would reduce the cost of creation to 35,500GP, but no more. Animal Growth has a number of additional features that generally allow for the cost to be about 35k.

I seem to recall a lower level version of Animal Growth, but I can't seem to find it. This would mean that, if you could find it (I think it's a level 2 spell as well) you could reduce the price to the same as the Ring of Reduce Animal.

Awakened Dog with levels in Psychic Warrior for Expansion?

 

[CrazyNinjabeast]

thanks you guys

Rangers can cast it as a a fourth level spell, (and a rangers caster level is 1/2 normal level) soooooo....

4 x 7 x 1,800 = 50400/2 = 25200gp, I could probably haggle that a little more though

does this work out correctly or are rangers not allowed to enchant things?

 

[Sekhmet]

Rangers absolutely can enchant rings (assuming they have the Forge Ring feat, or access to another player or NPC that does that will work the feat for him).
It would work out to 4 (spell Level) x 7 (Caster Level) x 1,800 like you suggested.

If it is an NPC, I'd suggest adding an extra cost - paying the gentleman for his days/weeks to hang around while you're enchanting your item. Consider that it's Caster Level 12 to take the Forge Ring feat, so it's a fairly high level caster that you're paying, and would probably want compensation to suit (a few hundred gold per day of work).

Also, consider the person with the feat is sacrificing 1/25th the gold cost in XP.

 

[CrazyNinjabeast]

I play a ranger myself, so maybe I could swing some backstory magic into it (I haven't started this campaign yet)

 

[Greenfield]

I don't know if a straight Ranger can ever get the Forge Ring feat.

FORGE RING [ITEM CREATION]
Prerequisite: Caster level 12th.
Benefit: You can create any ring whose prerequisites you meet. Crafting a ring takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To craft a ring, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of its base price.
You can also mend a broken ring if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the XP, half the raw materials, and half the time it would take to forge that ring in the first place.
Some magic rings incur extra costs in material components or XP, as noted in their descriptions. You must pay such a cost to forge such a ring or to mend a broken one.

To be a 12th level caster, as a Ranger, you need to be 24th level. Ranger's caster level is 1/2 their Ranger level.

Sorry to be the wet blanket...
