Dragonhide Full Plate costs even more.

[Doomblade187]

Dragonhide Full Plate costs even more.

Double the normal masterwork armor price, to be exact, so it would be (base+masterwork)*2 for the market price.

[tryrar]

really? Then that means a profit of 1650 for selling them, which means if everyone else but me an barbarossa had them made into full plate and sold it'd be a total of 9900g profit! Dvide that by 8(there are 8 of us right?) and we each get a total of 1237g and 5s!

Edit: Also would it be acceptable to go ahead and add shield spikes to my shield?

Edit Edit: I forgot that each of those suits of armor also comes with a masterwork dragonhide shield, so add 170 to the total!

Edit edit edit(rule of 3!): Actually instead of shield spikes, I thought of something; you did say that I could use weapons of legacy right? Well, I was thinking how having lesser energized shield saved my ass (that 5 point diff kept me from going down when he smacked me with his sword) and how that energy might have been absorbed a little into the shield to form a legacy, if that's acceptable

[Doomblade187]

Well, by request of Wrex, I have decided to post the list of vaguely amusing occurences from this past session.

Spoiler: Osoero (click to show/hide)

Osoero: (( Can I use Baleful Utterance on the Baron's cornea? ))
Lawbringer: ((.....No.))
Lawbringer: (( you can not sunder his eyeballs.))
Osoero: (( Not his eyeballs. ))
Osoero: (( Just one. ))
...
Osoero: (( Can I sunder his belt buckle? ))
...
Osoero: (( Can I sunder his teeth? ))

Osoero: [Eldritch Blast]
Eosri: ((hey, no steppin' on the Flying Spaghetti Monster's portfolio, dude!))
Jan: (( List updated ))
Eosri: ((he'll send pirates at you!))
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: Once again, the warlock clears his mind and speaks the vile words, bile rising in your throats as you listen to it spoken. His eyes stare at the swiftly moving and thrusting weapon, it's naked blade gleaming as it flies. "Compensating for something?"
Baron Kreu: "The Duke gave it to me."
Lawbringer: (( Freud would have a field day with that description))
Osoero: "Hehehehehe...he sure did."
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: (("Will you just roll your Will save already?"))
* Willfor rolls: 1d20+11 => 20 + 11 = 31
Lawbringer: (( Crit success.))
Willfor: Okay
Jan: (( And so he did. He verily did ))
Anxon: (( you asked for it   ))
Osoero: (( I very carefully didn't say make. I said roll. ))
Osoero: (( His sword has a lot of stamina, apparently. ))
Jan: (( Still, you're tempting the RNG ))
Baron Kreu: "Stop. Doing. That."
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: (( He would have to roll a nat 1 to miss. ))
Falzik: (( aaand our warlock is down again ))
Jan: (( Incapped again. ))
Osoero: (( It's like a really painful roller coaster! ))
Lawbringer: (( And now he is using that impressive weapon of his on the Warlock's sweaty form. /freud.))
Eosri: ((hey Lawbringer, think you've got a decent chance to grapple this guy? Maybe?))
Falzik: (( ......ogodyouwentthere ))
Anxon: (( I was just going to fry him ))
...
Osoero: (( I think Law could grapple him into submission. ))
...
Osoero: (( And then the ropes come in. ))
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: (( Homebrew feat; Winning; Prerequisite: Must be someone who likes to optimise. Effect: You win the game. Normal: You suck at the game. ))
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: (( Slap him with your sword. Slap him in the face for impaling me. ))
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: (( LAWFUL VENGEANCE ))
Anxon: (( from the chaos demon  ))
Lawbringer: (( who regularly makes bad decisions, natch.))
Osoero: (( St. Cuthbert is the god of retribution, though, right? Unless you can somehow heal me. ))
Lawbringer: (( Unless you want me to get retributive on your ass.))
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: (( KILL HIM FOR ME MY TENTACLED MONSTROSITY ))
---------------------------------------------
Willfor: Rolep's arrows of frantic pointing
Osoero: (( FRANTICALLY POINT is my action for my turn. Even though I'm unconscious and bleeding to death from my ass stomach. ))
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: Falzik has been getting the short end of the stick for a while now. I still blame him.
---------------------------------------------
Osoero: "Ow...so what'd I miss?
Eosri: "An exploding dragon."
Eosri: "That's about it."
Osoero: (( You ruined it. ))
* Anxon hands 50g to Lady Distinda.
* Lawbringer gazes disaprovingly at his fallen opponent.
Lawbringer: (( Probably decapitated.))
* Lady Distinda hands a dozen caps to Anxon
Osoero: (( That was an awesome cliffhanger, commercial break style cliffhanger scene, and you ruined it. ))

Spoiler: Others (click to show/hide)

Lawbringer: (( Dumb fuck, god of dice fuckery, has blessed you.))
Anxon: (( well, I got the nat 20's against my spells all last session. Freakin ant will saves ))
Eosri: (having rolled 6 damage dice this session, I have yet to roll higher than minimum yet))
Lawbringer: (( it is not a good blessing.))
---------------------------------------------
Lawbringer: (( Oh teh noes.))
Lawbringer: (( I am mildly injured.))
Jan: (( He's metal, isn't he? ))
Osoero: (( That's about half your health. ))
Lawbringer: (( yep.))
---------------------------------------------
Lawbringer: (( IMA CHARGIN THE BARON))
Lawbringer: (( Oh wait, on a kill, he sets Ossir on fire!))
...
Ossir: ((I can take a hit, fire or no fire.))
Lawbringer: (( IMA CHARGING THE BARON))
 
Lawbringer:
(( IMA CHARGING THE BARON))
* Wrex rolls: 1d20+10 => 5 + 10 = 15
Lawbringer: (( WHIFFED.))
Willfor: That is a miss
Lawbringer: (( CALLED IT.))
---------------------------------------------
 
Eosri: ((FTLOG))
Osoero: (( Scouts. Scouts beat you. I think. Or anything that can fly, I think...Do you get a grounding ability from Faith? ))
Willfor: WTF
Eosri: ((seven times.))
Jan: (( and still minimum damage ))
Lawbringer: (( I can wind wall.))
Jan: (( with a different weapon/ability ))
Osoero has received initiative.
Eosri: ((just to test))
Eosri:Rapier Attack! Attack: « 1d20+1+MiscBonus = 20 + 1 + 10 = 31 » Damage: « 1d6 = 2 »
Jan: (( The one time... ))
Willfor: LOOOL
Eosri: ((oh sure. Declare a worthless attack? Crit threat))
Eosri: ((fuuuuuck))
Jan: (( there goes a nat 20 ))
Willfor: I'm sorry
Willfor: That was hilarious
Eosri: ((AT LEAST I GOT A FUCKING TWO for damage XD))
Falzik: (( Im on the ground laughing right now ))
Jan: (( That's going on the list ))
Eosri: ((can't even drink my milk, dammit XD))
----------------------------------------------
Willfor: Eorsi also misses
Eosri: ((it's spelled Eosri))
Eosri: ((s, then r ))
Willfor: I know, but my fingers keep missing ._.
Osoero: (( Seorsi ))
Osoero: (( Seahorsey!! ))
----------------------------------------------
Falzik: (( no don't charg! ))
Osoero: (( Coming in from behind? ))
Falzik: (( you'll kill oso if you kill him ))
Lawbringer: (( Totally. Except I don't have a penis.))
Lawbringer: (( So your comparison dosen't work.))
Anxon: (( I knew he was going there ))
Falzik: (( as well as set the rest of us on fire ))
Eosri: ((bah, Oso's already rolling on the ground for the +4 to put out fire, he'll be fine))
Eosri: ((right?))
Anxon: (( don't tempt him with Oso ))
Osoero: (( You have a pretty big, sword. That gets really hot if someone else is holding it. ))
Lawbringer: (( Would you like to hold my sword, Osoero?))
Lawbringer: (( I do believe it would kill you with it's raw, hot, fury))
Lawbringer: (( I can do this all day.))
Osoero: (( Only if I got to Utter to it. ))
Willfor:
Wrex, it IS your turn
Falzik: (( I think he only has +3 to stength btw )
...
Osoero: (( Enter the gap...charge! ))
----------------------------------------------
Lawbringer: (( No one takes weapon focus, it sucks. ))
Osoero: (( Apologize to Jan right now. ))

Jan: (( Break the init order deal? ))
Osoero: (( Not if you were right here: ))
Lawbringer: (( Constructs are often not known for their ability in bed.))
Osoero: (( Ew gross. I was talking about their SOULS. ))
Lawbringer: (( of course you were.))
Osoero: (( Well actually I touch their stomachs, but they're more or less the same things. ))

If you have enough time to do the free-material item crafting for me too, I'd like to cash in on that. Selling a set of full plate for 1,650 sounds a lot better than selling its raw materials for 700. Mostly I like it better like this because it allows me to buy a Dark Lantern pretty much right now. Mwahahahaha....

Speaking of which, DM, I have an as-yet-unanswered question. If someone were to try to sneak past a room with a guard in it, and hide in the shadowy concealment provided by the lantern, would the guard by automatically alerted to the fact that someone is obviously there because of the zone of half-light wandering around? Or would the ability to hide allow you to actually go unnoticed?

Also, I'll be coming up with a journal at some point today, and making an artist's (loosely-used term) rendition of countess catgirl and her super-shiny platemail.  (GM said it was gold and had swirly patterns on it, right?)

[germaina]

Spoiler: Anxon's Thoughts (click to show/hide)

   Heading out to deal with this other lady, and still working on this underwater vessel.  The group starts talking about something called a "Ballast Tank", whaterer that is.  Next thing I know, I am ankle deep in some pretty cold water and everyone else decides to leave, investigating the sudden occurance of water.  And, of course, they neglect to ensure someone is manning the steering controls.  So I step up and take care of it.  Everything goes quiet for a little bit, so I get to enjoy the cold around my ankles.  Then, of course, yelling and screaming break up the peace with the sounds of metal ringing and other indicators of battle.  I leave the ship controls in the hands of Lady Distinda and sprint to see if they need assistance.  I try following the sounds, and arrive huffing and puffing.  I find no one injured and the enemy lady we were looking for had already surrendered.  Granted, this means I don't have to waste my energy on what was obviously an unworthy opponent, but I had to run.  I don't run, and that's for a reason.  So we get her all situated with Lady Distinda, and then we are "recalibrating the portals" or whatever it is that they said.  I tried to watch as they did, but our resident psycho seems to be the only one who understood that.  I am pretty sure I will miss the lecture when he teaches us how.  After all, I have things to do.
 
   Portals fixed (or whatever they did) and we are in this ice office area.  While the rest of us are recuperating from the vertigo, the psycho runs into the complex.  He didn't even check to see if we were following.  He just ran.  So, we followed, trying to keep up.  We come to a fork in the road, and we split up... again.  Myself, the man of iron, and the shadow find ourselves in a dead end.  To no one's surprise, we hear fighting and yelling from the other group.  So, again, we have to run.  Did I mention I hate running?  And I'm pretty sure I heard someone say "Dragon."

   So, we finally arrive, and there is a single person in some shiny armor.  They are all fighting , lining up for their attacks, and the best thing I have ever seen happens.  The man (Baron somebody) shoots electricity from his mouth, enveloping three of my companions in his lightning breath.  Now, I don't mean to say that my companions getting zapped was anything good, but the attack he used is something I need to learn how to do.  Yeah, I have my tricks with electricity, but that was something else.  But, seeings how my companions were in danger (especially the cleric; I don't think the baron likes clerics) I decided to fry him.  Trying out my new meditative technique to form my ray, I unleash my attack.  I could've sworn I saw the end of the ray transform, becoming the head of a ram, or goat, or something.  It must have caught the Baron off guard, because it drove him 15 feet away from the cleric.  Attempts to duplicate were not as successful.  I will add that to my list of things to study.  We finally defeat him, in a blaze of glory as the man of iron casts his judgement in a fiery manner.  People around the baron are on fire, and the Lady Distinda coats them in a substance that slew the remaining fire.  I was impressed with them, so I grabbed a dozen.  I'll see what use I can make them.

Spoiler: Jan's Thoughts (click to show/hide)

Well, we managed to finish the mission. Not that it went without trouble, of course. Namely, the fact that we had to deal with some sort of extraplanar cat lady and a dragon in human form wearing full plate and wielding a giant sword. The first of the two surrendered after a short fight, when Lawbringer started throttling her, but the dragon was a more difficult case. The lightning breath didn't help, and neither did the fact that three of my teamates lined up for it. And then our warlock was almost killed not once but twice, with Lawbringer's exploding victims almost finishing him off if it wasn't for a smart move by Ossir, our resident abomination. It worked, though, and Falzik has offered to make me some mithril armor if I supply the materials. I might take up the offer, but I'm not sure yet.

[germaina]

@Will, I have a question for you.  If I were to get a dorje (psionic wand), does it have to be in one of my mantles, or just anything an ardent is capable of learning?  The description just says "Class List"

EDIT: For the question i posed earlier about which mantle I should take, I figured it out.  Taking knowledge mantle so we have every knowledge skill at least covered (albeit with only +3 modifiers).  I realized I do not have to take powers from there when I take the mantle.

[Rolepgeek]

Hurray for resident psycho!

I'm wondering if I should get a Magic Device of Use Magic Device. I think I'll call it a Magic Manual. +5 to UMD checks if I can get another 300 gold.

Either that, or I can buy a bunch of wands and scrolls. And get to use them about half the time.

I kind of answered it last night, but I don't think it's going to be as noticeable as you think it's going to be. The guard MIGHT be alerted, yes, but you wouldn't be the strangest thing that's down there by far. The guards will probably notice some kind of shadows, if they're paying attention and you're way out in the open. On the other hand, the guards are working in conditions where seeing rolling shadows walking around happens pretty much ... everyday. So it will really depend. And while that's probably not the answer you want to here, it's a pretty situational thing in my opinion.

The armor is gold foil, sort of swirly, I suppose.

I heard you liked magic devices, so I put a magic device in your magic device so you can blow yourself up more effectively. Wait ... that's not the meme ...

[Rolepgeek]

Super focused char; can use a scroll of God's Fury(tenth level spell, Deal'sinfinite damage, ranged touch attack, made up), can't hit anything with it.

[Doomblade187]

Tryrar, I'll pay you 367 gp for mithril chain shirt raw materials.

Also, Willfor- traveling cloak (elven, flavor item, 12 gp)? Also, what do you think of elven boots? (85 gp, +1 to move silently, maybe caltrop immunity depending on how you read the flavor?)

I think I saw different arrow types (broadhead, etc.) as well, but Ill refrain from that for the moment.

EDIT: Also, I think the market price of dragonhide full plate is 3300.

Spoiler: Journal of Oathtower Eosri, page 8 (click to show/hide)

Today was a good day for beating up the nobility, apparently. We captured Countess Acara after she snuck onto our ship, and slew a dragon-turned-humanoid, who was actually a Baron attempting to usurp Countess Acara's position.

When Acara came onto our ship, she brought a bunch of water with her; the entire place was ankle-deep with the stuff. Almost everyone else was having some trouble with it, but I took it as a challenge. I actually did manage to sneak up on the Countess undetected, despite the water. Then she used the ship's terminal to find us anyway. So, we had Lawbringer bear hug her until she surrendered. To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised she didn't surrender sooner. One unarmed noble against six mercenaries? Regardless, Lady Distinda says she'll be working for our side now. I have my doubts on that point, though. I was under the impression that the Duke and his subordinates were assumed to be "on our side" once before, and that didn't turn out well. She's also rather slow to give up information.

She was a peculiar specimen in several other ways, though. She seemed to be one of the Catfolk... almost. She had claws that were suitable for combat, while normal Catfolk typically have nails only slightly longer than a human's. She was also heavily armoured. I almost suggested we take her armour and keep it, or maybe sell it, but stopped myself. Capturing a defeated enemy's equipment is one thing, but who strips a female noble? Especially when we're all standing ankle-deep in freezing water. Besides which, I have no idea whether she's wearing clothing underneath. She ought to be, but with cat-people, who knows? I also considered drawing her for my dossier collection and bestiary, but... it would have come off as a bit crass, I think. "Excuse me, Countess, but I'll need to tie you up to make sure you don't escape, and I'll be taking your armour off so I can draw your proportions correctly." Makes perfect sense. Disallowed by social convention. This right here is the one thing I like about illumians more than humans.

And the port. Where to start with the oddities? It was also hewn from ice. It had a portal in one corner of a cavern, and no other furnishings. And there were no people about either, save for the Baron dragon that Oso managed to run headlong into. To be perfectly honest, I wish the dragon would have finished the warlock off. I tire of his nuisances. Truly, there is no adventure that fool cannot ruin. Our cleric wouldn't have been nearly killed, mayhaps, if we'd all stuck together to tackle the dragon simultaneously, but no, the warlock is fool enough to go toe-to-toe with a dragon while the rest of us are elsewhere.

On a calmer note, Lady Distinda taught us how to recalibrate the portals. I had to ask the other engineers for a remedial course once we got back to the capital. I figured the "send the transferees to the portal nearest to the designated spatial co-ordinates" clause on my own, but she didn't explain the magical part at all, only the mathematical formulae. And her explanation was nigh unintelligible; 5 X and a bunch of pie and 9-why and then the other pie is square for some reason... gah. Engineers have no sense of how to communicate their ideas. I later learned that pies are a measurement of rotation, so the rune teleport system works as follows:

1) Determine, on a level plane, which direction to go (measured in pies, with two pies being a complete rotation, clockwise from straight cosmic north)
2) Determine tilt on a vertical plane (measured in pies, with 0 being straight down, a half being level, and 1 being straight up)
3) Specify a distance (in multiples of 5 feet)
4) the last bit of the rune is essentially rune-speak for "and then move me to whichever portal is closest to where I'm pointing at", to make it so that waves don't cause you to teleport yourself waist-high into the dirt when teleporting off a boat.

This all sounds pretty straightforward, but it involves calculating distance using the Astral Plane, which can get annoying fast. And whoever thought up a teleportation system where division can only be done using negative powers needs to be thrown out a window or something.

On a brighter- or rather, dimmer but happier- note, one of my teammates managed to craft all of our dragon scales (from the dragon-whale we killed earlier) into suits of full-plate armour. I can't wear it without hindering my shadow powers (as well as my physical body), so I sold mine and in return, bought a magical lantern that makes the area around it darker. Everyone else has trouble seeing me when it's lit, but I can see just fine. What's also nice is that when I use it underground, it's hard for people to determine that light is being actively suppressed. I think one of the guards in Distinda's Engineering zone quirked an eyebrow, but he didn't notice me. I wonder at the potential of using shadows to carry the lantern for me.

Spoiler: Osoero's Thoughts, in the back of someone else's journal. (click to show/hide)

Hmmm. I'm not really sure who's journal this is, but it as lying unattended, so they probably didn't want it. I'll write in the back so if they do want it back, it's not like I ruined it. I'm such a nice guy. Anyway. Everyone else seems to be writing these things down. I don't really know why, but also it's really cold. I don't like the cold. At least it doesn't hurt my fingers like it used to. Stupid ice. There's so much ice. I think I'll hate ice from now on. Yeah. Ooh, and I can cut myself a little, wit my dagger, and it doesn't hurt! Well, it hurts, but my skin closes really fast! Pretty cool, huh? Everyone keeps glaring at me, but I know Ozzy still likes me at least. Good thing too, otherwise it'd be difficult to take care of him for Gromal'hir, He Who Must Not Be Named. Wait, I just named him, didn't I? Maybe he won't appear since I didn't say it? Whatever. He told me last time that he'll teach me something new pretty soon, once he gets the time. It'll be nice to see without a torch. Or when I'm near Eo. So many O's! Oh, and I have a much of money now. I want to buy something with it, but Ozzy keep's telling me I should save my money. I think I might get my shirt enchanted anyway. Or buy some wands. I think I'm getting better with wands. Mr Notfun nearly killed me apparently, smiling the other guy who nearly killed me. Twice. But Fally and Ozzy saved me. They're the only people here I like, I think. Well, Eo and Anxious are okay, but they keep glaring at me. And Jan's alright, I suppose. A bit quiet, but helpful. I still think Mr Rules has a ridiculous name, though. What kind of name is Lawbringer? Why couldn't he have a more normal name? Like Reithyul, or Gissilli?
