Pinotage, where is deathward armor enchantment from?

I don't think you can do gauntlets +4, they only come in +2 variety in the SRD/DMG, it is belts that are +4 or +6. Improving gauntlets from +2 to +4 is reasonable but would be a custom item and LR said no custom items. I ran into the same thing with monk's belt taking up the belt slot when I considered stat boosters.

 

[Thanee]

Complete Arcane IIRC. Grants immunity to one death effect per day, I think.

[Thanee]

...and LR said no custom items.

Oh, I actually missed that part...

Does this mean no items, that are not listed in the books at all?

Or only no completely new items? Like those infamous continuous spell items, like continuous Protection from Evil or Shield.

i.e. is it acceptable to change slots for items (as long as they are fitting) or make enhanced items of existing ones, where similar items exist (i.e. turning an existing +5 skill bonus item into +10).

If not, I will have to change items a bit.

Bye
Thanee

Wasn't Jayna Firehair the name of your EK from the aborted VoW we did?

No switching slots for optimization of slot use would be my interpretation of "no custom items" but obviously it is LR's game and his call.

Btw what does startmetal and magebane do? The travel cloak, armbands of might, and the steady spellcasting items are all unfamiliar to me as well, though I'm guessing most are in CA.

 

[Thanee]

Yes, it's (mostly) the same character, too.

Starmetal is like adamantium, but in addition deals extra damage against outsiders. It also costs more, of course.

Magebane is Bane vs. arcane magic users.

Travel Cloak is in Magic of Faerûn. It's just a fancy cloak, that keeps you warm and can conjure food and water for one person and transform into a tent for the night. Stuff like that.

Armbands of Might are in Complete Adventurer (IIRC) and grant a bonus to Str checks and Str-based skill checks and also grant an additional damage bonus if you use Power Attack for at least 2 points.

The Tunic of Steady Spellcasting (as it is normally) is in Complete Adventurer as well and grants a bonus on Concentration checks.

@Lord_Raven: There are two items I have changed a little from the way they are written (listed below, including the changes); do those fall under custom items and are thus not allowed this way (or did you mean only truely custom items, which are entirely new)? If so, I will have to change those around a bit, obviously.

Greater Circlet of Steady Spellcasting (head slot instead of torso slot; advanced version with +10 instead of +5; base price +7,500gp)
Greater Eyes of the Eagle (advanced version with +10 instead of +5; base price +7,500gp); technically the same as a Third Eye of Aware.

Thanee

 

[hafrogman]

Actually, Thanee. You may want to re-read armbands of might.

They

"give a +2 bonus to strength
based skills and ability checks."

The second line is important

 

[Thanee]

Oops. Ok, then I need to add a normal Str enhancing item as well... good that I left some money over.

Bye
Thanee

 

[Tyler Durden]

Lord Raven,

It isn't mentioned in the OP, but would you allow material from the Draconomicon? Also, I assume that allowing the SRD means psionics are kosher?
