[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 3691316, member: 1465"] I've you've never used the item creation rules before, I suggest you start with SIMPLE things. You can craft any item under the DMG "Wondrous items" section, and similar section from other books. Focus on those listed items rather than coming up with totally new items. Crafting an item will cost you: HALF the market price, an amount of XP equal to 1/25 of the market price, and 1 day every 1000gp of value. So I suggest: 1) consider how much money you can afford to spend (or will be able to afford after a reasonable amount of time) 2) take a look at the master list of wondrous items, and find a bunch of items within your cost range (remember that it will cost you HALF the market price) 3) go to the individual items' descriptions and see if you like any of them; take a look at the prerequisite spells If you like an item but don't have the prerequisite spells, but the spells are anyway on the Wiz/Sor list, you can either try to buy a scroll/wand or plan to learn that spell when you level up. Then when you want to craft the item you will spend the gp and xp, and (normally) you just use each day of downtime for crafting the item. In 3.5 those days need not be consecutive, so it should be relatively easy to craft even the most expensive items. At 3rd level anyway, your items will be cheap and take only a few days to craft... 2) [/QUOTE]
