Re: taking the keep back from the Hobgoblins

sorry all, i just need to let you all know this about capizzio and his wishes/wants/happy place

he is a free spirit. he would not want to receive a commision in the local army as part of payment.

he is a rogue, a wizard and a former orphan. he is all for the idea of fighting off bullies, but the idea of owing allegence to any but the acadamy and his friends is way not his style.

Agreed. Xavier has little desire to work as a regular in an imperial army, even if it a special commision. He would rather spend time on his own research efforts, than have to worry about being pulled away for a military invasion, or to repel invaders.

"Former" orphan?? Did he outgrow it??

 

[Leif]

Cool new avatar, renau1g, is that a "Predator"??

 

[renau1g]

yeah.... I've been toying with what avatar to go with.... Ralph Wiggum was fun for a bit, and the "E3 makes me Sad" kitty was just ok (too small to read though).

Edit: Yeah Capizzio's a former orphan - he's part of the wizard family (our group )

technically he was adopted, but in his heart he will always remember the streets, the wrongs done to him and friends, allies himself with other orphans and outcasts (read wizards, thanks rena1g!), Ya know?

 

[Leif]

Yeah, I know. It just seemed like it might be worth a yuk or two to give you a hard time about it today. *sigh* It wasn't satisfying at all, though!

Anyway, getting back to the subject of a previous post about the need for a laboratory to create magic items, the SRD has this to say:

"Raw Materials Cost
The cost of creating a magic item equals one-half the sale cost of the item.

Using an item creation feat also requires access to a laboratory or magical workshop, special tools, and so on.
A character generally has access to what he or she needs unless unusual circumstances apply."

So, I guess we'll assume that, for purposes of this campaign, the characters have received the training and tools necessary from the Academy. (If you have the right item creation feat, that is.)

 

[renau1g]

I wonder what tools would let you make magical items? I can't envision a simple hammer or other mundane implements allowing the creation of a horn of blasting.... but then again wizards are just dripping with magical energies, maybe they don't need tools (besides their minds).

 

[Leif]

For a Horn of Blasting, I would imagine that all the usual metalworking tools would be needed, a furnace, perhaps molds for certain parts, and things like that. That's just off the top of my head, though, so it may not be worth the electrons making up these letters on your screen!

So make Lord Kyle a Counteroffer?
