Hehehe. Yeah, I'm doing that. Sky said we had only a certain amount of spells we could "know" for each level, right? I think that's right. He said "9/6/6/5/4/3" so I'm assuming that means I can't know any spells greater than 5th level.

^This should help, if you don't already have it, or the book at hand.

Also, you have it right with the spell count.

[SeriousConcentrate]

lol. Pretty soon there's going to be a lot of wings going around. ^^^ Luke already has his, Toman will get a pair of gold dragon wings in a few levels, and if FFS goes Favored Soul he'll be getting wings too at level 17. Rae's gonna be so jelly.

[Skyrunner]

If there is one thing you should do, it is preventing the unexperienced GM from wandering onto gaming sites (like Giant in the Playground). I learned a bunch of neat tricks that'll make your (collective) encounters harder! D:

The neceomancer has gained new tricks!

[SeriousConcentrate]

How are we s'posed to prevent our GM from doing that when she has mobile internet? D: Even though we have snipers stationed around your house for that contingency, we don't know your every move. :c

[Skyrunner]

  You might be pitted against Fell Drain Magic Missiles and maybe Fell Drain Sonic Snaps at the boss battle for teh negative levels.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Great. Time to dig through the Compendium again and look for armor or accessories that prevent level drain. >.>

[Skyrunner]

Enchantment "Death Ward", costs +1.

Or, just ask Wheatly for three or so. He can have maximum three Death Wards at any time.

[Dwarmin]

Riawilde has death ward ready too.

[Skyrunner]

Dwarm, don't forget the form (NPC interaction thread)

Also, does anyone want to hire an artificer, a potion brewer, an appraiser, or other?



EDIT : Dwar, are you going to hate me if Auvergne gets a better touch AC? :<

EDIT 2 : Piling on enchantments is FUN.

[Dwarmin]

@Sky: She can already one shot kill everyone but Toman. What's the harm in adding even more power!!!

Also, I say let's hire a potion brewer! Who should be also be a Dwarf! Who also makes beer. :V
Edit: Or maybe a certain gnome by the name of Flashbang...

Do I have your permission to gen up a char who will be our secondary team crafter, Skyrunner? What level might they be?

[SeriousConcentrate]

@Sky: Remember that same-type enchantments don't stack. You can't have Gauntlets of Ogre Power and a Belt of Hill Giant Strength. Well, you can, but you won't get the bonus from the gauntlets since it's weaker. ^^^; It's important to keep that in mind for AC boosting items, too. That's why Toman has so many of different types (armor for armor type, shield for shield type, ring for deflection type, amulet for natural type, etc.)

@Dwarmin: BS. Rae actually has more HP than Toman somehow, she can survive a couple of blows too. >.> (143 vs 135) Anyway, if you did have an artificer, that might be interesting.

[Dwarmin]

Ya know, I saw something back in the post history about custom spell making rules.

You spend 1 day per two spell levels in a library/mages guild. The time spent may be interrupted; the mage need only spend 8 hours to count as a day. Before researching, the spell is to be approved by the DM. After that, the DM will set a spellcraft DC. If the spell is not legal, the DM will notify you beforehand.
After being approved, the mage does 1 spellcraft check per day. If the spellcraft check fails, increase the needed time by 1 day.

I found this one in the SS handbook, as for relating to my own class.

Spoiler: suggestion! (click to show/hide)

A Spirit Shaman (henceforth: SS) has a different spell preparation method from most casters. Each day, the SS enters a trance and sends forth their spirit guide into the spirit world, to bargain with the spirits.

For most common spells, this is basically a sure thing. There are many helpful druidic, fey, and elemental spirits willing and able to impart spells from the Player's Handbook or - if the SS is evil - able to be intimidated into so doing.

Rarer or newer spells, however, are harder to find. Not every druid or ancestor becomes a potential helpful spirit, and not all of those are inclined to help. Some spells simply might not be available at all: in desert areas, there are probably no helpful spirits around to teach spells from the Frostburn supplement. And some might be findable, but only at certain times, seasons, phases of the moon, or during planar conjunctions. Regardless, the SS must put in a special effort to make initial contact with a spirit able to impart the desired spell.

To do this, the SS goes on an extended spirit quest taking 1d8 days per level of the spell, during which time they will spend much of the time in trance. During this time they may burn unusual herbs, paint their bodies in savage designs with exotic pigments, anoint themselves with strange (and strange smelling) ungents, or weave elaborate dreamcatchers incorporating rare animal body parts and gems (which are magically consumed). The actual process is individual, but the cost is generally 500gp per spell level if the SS is purchasing the materials (which the DM may waive if the campaign occurs in savage areas).

At the end of this, the SS makes a Diplomacy check (10+Spell Level) to determine if they were successful at negotiating access to their new spell.

Alternatively, the DM may stipulate that the SS shall engage in spirit combat against an appropriate monster of CR equal to the minimum character level required to cast the spell (Spell Level * 2 - 1). The combat occurs on the astral plane, and the Spirit Shaman's guide acquires the stats and abilities of a Druid's animal companion. Should the Spirit Shaman die in this combat, he returns to his material body and is unharmed. The sprit guide also reforms, as it is mainly a projection of the shaman's will.

If the SS is successful, then he has made friendly contact with a spirit able to grant the spell, and can send his spirit guide to retrieve it during daily meditation as with any other spell he has access to.

I was wondering if this could be approved for possible custom spells I might want to make in the future-and, in this way, if it would be possible to get other divine spells-cleric/paladin/ranger in my arsenal?

[Skyrunner]

@ Dwar's 1st post
Well, Ria's Ranged Touch attacks will be able to break her quickly.

For the team crafter, would that be a PC or an NPC? If its a PC, you'll have hard time, since y'know, making stuff costs XP for some strange reason.

@SerCon
I know. She stacked tons of different enchantments on her armor & sword.

Here's a censored list:

(Armor)
+5 mundane enhancements
+1 [redacted]
+2 [redacted]
+1 [redacted]
1 crystal of [redactness]

Final cost (enchantments only) 100000 or so gp, not including base cost

(Sword)
+3 mundane enhancements
+1 [redacted]
+2 [redacted]
1 crystal of [redactness]

Final cost some 120000 gp or something.

Teehee.

All of the enchantments are different from each other. Because Auvergne is a 18th level, she has tons of money judging by the WBL, and can afford to pile enchantment on enchantment...

@Dwarmin's second post

That sounds like a nice, theme-appropriate way.
I didn't know that druids had to learn spells though
Clerics have it soooo easy, just request spells every day.

Perhaps spells with 'peaceful' elements (such as buffs spells, or most spells that don't focus on damage) are more likely to use the spirit quest, and damage dealing spells are more likely to require spirit combat.

Decided by the d100.

As for the cleric/ranger/paladin/bard spells, that's rather iffy. Especially if you consider that bards are arcane casters, and most of their spells are from the sorcerer/wizard list.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Dwarmin didn't mention bards anywhere. >.> Also, are crystals Psionics? I was under the impression most crystal stuff is, as well as some enchantments like Collision (+5 damage). Because if Collision isn't... I'm going to have to get that for both my characters ASAP. (|||)
