Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Acad. Revisited, OOC02

I'm thinking of any metamagic rods (if someone has that feat)

 

[Scott DeWar]

I am having capi take the metamagic feat: sudden silent (useable once per day, but at no spell level advancement

 

[Leif]

Ooooh, Wizards who Co-Operate! Maybe one takes Craft Wand, one takes Craft Rod (if Craft Wand is not a prereq of that feat, but it probably is) and a couple take metamagic feats. Then, working together you can make metamagic rods for everybody for just the cost of supplies. Ummm, well, somebody will have to pay Kerlan if you want him to play along, I guess.

 

[Scott DeWar]

wow, a bunch of already sneaky wizards with rods of sudden silent metamagic wands....nice.

 

[Leif]

Are you all going to take up a collection to pay Kerlan? (Sorry, man, I just can't resist giving you a hard time about this!)

 

[renau1g]

Maybe Xavier's rich parents can send him some gold

 

[Leif]

hmm, interesting thought, renau1g. I think they would insist that it be used to pay tuition, though.

We can't make Rods yet because the feat requires level 9. Way above our level now. Sorry, I would love some too.

My question is: How are you supposed to make the first item?? Seems kinda crazy. I'll have to look at it later. You might want to look again, too.

The premise of the 'Sets' in the MIC is that somehow, someone made the original set and the only way to make more of them has been to have access to one piece of the set, whether it's an original or a copy doesn't matter. I'm not sure what you want me to look at again though. It's not a big deal, you've just made some special concessions for us in this game and I thought I would ask. I can buy the items if I have to. (Unless there's some other way. )

I think Manny might should have charged 75% for all thost Continual Flames . . .

That's just about what I was thinking when I read Kerlan's post!

I didn't think the 75% thing would cause such a fuss. I haven't played in a long time but I thought that it was a pretty standard deal in games. The Continual Flame items were free to make, whereas magic items cost XP as well as GP.

How about this:

It is possible for more than one character to cooperate in the creation of an item, with each participant providing one or more of the prerequisites. In some cases, cooperation may even be necessary.

If two or more characters cooperate to create an item, they must agree among themselves who will be considered the creator for the purpose of determinations where the creator’s level must be known. The character designated as the creator pays the XP required to make the item.

So if you help me make the item and take the XP cost yourself, you can have the item at cost. If you can't, then you pay 75%. Does that sound more fair?

Free to make other than time/effort - which (other than XP cost) other items are as well as long as the cost of the materials is paid for.

I think this proposal is perfect! Allows the 'owner' of the item to decide how much his own XP is worth to him, and either costs Kerlan nothing (other than time/effort) or compensates him for his own XP use. Right now, if Manny wants an item made he'll pay the 75%, 'cause he's so far behind the rest in levels.

(I was just giving you a hard time - if Kerlan (the character) has a bit of the merchant/mercenary in him, that's cool.)

[commercial]ya know, the xp cost of making a magic item is why i like pathfinder [/commercial]
