This is my homebrew thread for all the stuff I've made, but haven't posted yet. I'm posting this for anyone to use and comment on.

I would enjoy and PEACHing that anyone can do on any of the stuff I post here. I have some idea of balance, but I'm not perfect.

If you have any ideas and/or request, just post or PM them to me and I'll take a look at them.

I will post each new thing I create in a new post as well as archiving it in the library post below.

Enjoy!

Archiving Note: I'm currently in the process of finding and posting all my homebrew stuff. I have a temporary organized list right now. Later I'll make it more specific and alphabitize them all. Now, I've hit the limit on the amount of stuff you can put in a post, so I'm going to have to use this post as well for archives. After that, well... I'm not sure.

Eberron Firearms

Flavor/Fluff

Invention of Guns: The invention of the Artificer's Bolt-Action Rifle (and futher creations) is credited to Zyash, a Gnome Artificer working with Varth d'Cannith, a House Cannith Artificer. During the last decade of the Last War, Zyash wanted a better crossbow and set out to design one and through a random idea when he was repairing a broken crossbow did he get the idea. Zyash designed a prototype to which both he and Varth refined into the basic bolt-action rifle. The basic design was a crossbow that used magic to fire the bolts instead of mechianics, which allowed it to fire harder and more relably. They removed the arms and lengthened the barrel. Varth showed this to the rest of House Cannith and they immeditately took to it and started producing and selling them for the war.

Use of them during the Last War: The rifle was an instant hit among those troops who could afford them and sorta became a status emblem for higher ranking officers. Soldiers who used them loved it. They loved the increased power but relatively short reload time and overall easy to use weapon. Also since it used crossbow bolts it could be used in any division with crossbows. The weapon was usually given to protect more valuable people and property. Although the gun was superior to the crossbow, the crossbow was still the standard because it was really cheap.

The invention of Spellguns: Zyash and Varth, the creators of the Artificers's Bolt-Action rifle continued to tinker and innovate with the rifes. They had created a mundane one that simply was a modified crossbow. They wanted something truly magical. They set to work and completely remade the rifle. They started with a new frame and decided they wanted to fire bolts of magical energy, or at least small sling bullets. First the idea of the ammunition and powering the gun was the first major problem. How would they load the gun and fire magical bullets? Having a constant source of ammunition was going to be a heavy task and would require some powerful magic, maybe even an elemental. Then one day, when working on some wands for a buyer, it hit them, wands. They immediately set to work creating a modified wand turning it into a more rectanglular clip charged with raw energy. They loaded the gun and tweaked it and fired it. A blast of magic energy shot out and blew a hole through the table. They had just created the first Spellgun. They immedately set to creating the Spellpistol and Spellrifle, modifing it each time and immproving upon the last. Once the first of each were created, they presented their new weapons to House Cannith. They were hailed as geniuses. House Cannith started to produce the Spell Guns and ammunition and began to sell them at the last few years of the war.

Use of Spellguns during the Last War:

Price: 1,000gp
Body Slot: -- (held)
Caster Level: 3rd
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) Transmutation
Activation: Standard (manipulation)

This is a weapon that is an alternative to the crossbow. It uses bolts and fires them as a heavy crossbow (1d10 Damage 19-20/x2 Crit), but only takes a move action to reload which provokes AoO's. The gun can use magic bolts and/or can be enchanted like any other weapon; treat as a crossbow. Weapon is considered masterwork (+1 Attack) and is two-handed but can be fired with one hand at a -2 Attack penalty. Need to be proficient with a crossbow to use, and the non-proficency penalty is -2 instead of -4. All feats that apply to a crossbow, applies to the rifle.

Once the shot hits an Undead, it deals normal damage and then explodes dealing 2d6+3 Damage in a 15ft Burst to all Undead (and only undead) within the area except the one that was shot; the shot explodes regardless of whether it hit or not.

Lore: Rykar, a good friend of Zyash that adventured with him, asked Zyash to create him a bolt-action rifle that could easily kill undead and could do a last ditch shot like his could. Zyash created the Skull Sniper which he gave to Rykar and the gun and Rykar became a legend as an Undead killer.

Pinball Charger

PINBALL CHARGER

"Just wait 'till I get rollin'." - Smash, Warforged Pinball

Your a crazy warrior who threw away weapons in favor of just slamming into your opponents with your armor. You tumble around hitting people and running them over. Some powerful pinball chargers can even hit two people in the same charge.

BECOMING A PINBALL CHARGER
How you would normally become a member of this prestige class.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
To qualify to become a Pinball Charger, a character must fulfill all the following criteria:
Base Attack Bonus: +5
Skills: Tumble 4 Ranks, Jump 6 Ranks
Feats: Powerful Charge, Power Attack
Proficiency: Must be proficient in Medium or Heavy Armor
Special: Must be tought the pinball charge from another Pinball Charger


Class Skills
Pinball Charger’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Tumble (Dex), Swim (Str)
Skills Points at Each Level : 2 + Int Mod

Hit Dice: d10


BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities Slam Damage
1. +1 +2 +2 +0 Pinball Charge, Rolling Armor 1d6
2. +2 +3 +3 +0 Steel Pinball +1, Heavy Ball 1d6
3. +3 +3 +3 +1 Spin Ball, Roll Over 1d10
4. +4 +4 +4 +1 Steel Pinball +2, Cannon Ball 1d10
5. +5 +4 +4 +1 Bumper Hit 2d6


Weapon Proficiencies: The Pinball Charger gains proficiency in their slam but no new armor proficiencies.

Slam (Ex): The Pinball Charger uses themself as a weapon, slamming in to their enemies, although they still need some steel to slam with. You gain a slam attack with damage equal to the chart that deals bludgeoning damage and threatens a critical on a 20/x2. The slam only works if you are wearing Medium or Heavy Armor. If armor spikes are used, the damage is increased by one die and it does Piercing & Bludgeoning damage.

Note: Anytime you use a feat or other ability that uses an Armor Spike attack, you may use your slam attack (and damage) instead; Ex. Blood Spiked Charger.


Pinball Charge (Ex): The Pinball Charger's signature move, the pinball charge. By tumbling, jumping, and then slamming into your opponent is where it got its name. By making a DC 15 Tumble Check you can roll and try to slam into your opponent dealing your slam damage plus your strength mod. You still must make a normal attack to deal damage. Also, you gain a +4 to AC to all AoO's made against you while charging.

Rolling Armor (Ex): The Pinball Charger practices in his armor and refines his technique to make the best of the armor. When making a pinball charge, you may ignore the movement penalty from Medium or Heavy Armor. Also, the Armor Check penalty for Tumble and Jump is reduced by half, rounded up.

Steel Pinball (Ex): The Pinball Charger uses the armor to get the best cover from attacks. The AC bonus from all Medium and Heavy Armor is increased by +1. It is increased to +2 at 4th Level.

Heavy Ball (Ex): The Pinball Charger uses the weight of his armor to cause the most damage. When making a pinball charge, you add 2x your strength mod to damage. Also, if you use power attack, the return is now 1:2 for BAB spent to Damage bonus.

Spin Ball (Ex): The Pinball Charger can roll around and change the direction of his charge to hit any opponent. While making a Pinball Charge, you can attempt a DC 17 Tumble Check to make one direction change during a charge. You still must have a line of sight to your enemy to charge.

Roll Over (Ex): The Pinball Charger can just run over people, leaving them in the dust. When making a Pinball Charge you are treated if having the Improved Overrun feat if you succeed on a DC 18 Tumble Check.

Cannon Ball (Ex): The Pinball Charger can leap into the air and come crashing down on his enemies dealing massive damage. When making a Pinball Charge, a Pinball Charger must make a Jump check equal to the AC of his target. If the check succeeds, the Pinball Charger deals twice the damage. Extra dice from enchantments, etc. are not doubled.

Bumper Hit (Ex): The Pinball Charger can hit one enemy, then bounce off and slam into another, both with rolling fury. A Pinball Charger may attack two opponets in the same Pinball charge, provided that they are no more than 15ft apart and you still have movement left. This requires a DC 20 Tumble check and the second attack suffers a -5 penalty.

PLAYING A PINBALL CHARGER
You are a charger. You are all about trying to do the most damage with one roll.
Combat: First action: Charge. Second action: Charge. Repeat as needed.
Advancement: Many Pinball Chargers go on to try to become better and more powerful warriors. Others go on to teach the Pinball Charge to inspiring young fighters.
Resources: Pinball Chargers can get resources from anywhere.

PINBALL CHARGERS IN THE WORLD
"That warforged is crazy. He just ran and rolled right into the orc!"
People view you as crazy, insane, or sucidal even. Others actually are interested by your bizarre fighting style.
Daily Life: Your typical day is that like anyother warrior, although your training is vastly different.
Notables: Make up some cool information about notable figures in the history of your class. It's best to give a little information from one of the good alignment and evil alignment (unless it's a good or evil only class).
Organizations: There are no real organization to Pinball Chargers, however Pinball Chargers are glad to help fellow Pinball Chargers on their quests and such.

A zombie just charges right at you. Running at a speed unnatural for a zombie, it explodes in a burst of negative energy.

Implode (Ex): A Blackbomb Zombie courses with stores of negative energy. This energy is released all at once when the zombie dies. The burst of energy deals 2d8+2 negative energy damage in a 10ft burst. A DC 12 Reflex save halves the damage.

Bonzi (Ex): A Blackbomb Zombie charges and slams into you, detonating on impact. A Blackbomb Zombie can charge and explode at the end of the charge dealing slam damage plus Implode damage. The Zombie gains an additional +1 to the attack roll to hit.

Sprint (Ex): A Blackbomb Zombie moves with unnatural speed for a zombie and can run. A Blackbomb Zombie can run and move up to double its speed during a charge. It can still only take one action per turn.

Creating a Blackbomb Zombie/Skeleton

Blackbomb Zombie/Skeleton is an acquired template that can be added to any zombie. It takes an additional 25gp of Black Onyx to create a Blackbomb because the extra negative energy needs to be stored. A Blackbomb Zombie/Skeleton retains the orginal Undead traits and gains the following changes:
Speed: A Blackbomb Zombie can now run.

For some reason the words "Flaming Caltrops" had me LOLing. I don't know exactly why, but I had to stop in my review process right then and there and type this.

Well, I'm still going through it, but it looks like the Gloves of Kobold Thievery are underpriced - I made it 2,200gp by the table for estimating custom item prices. I'd reword the Flash Coins as 'they may be thrown at a target as a ranged touch attack, inflicting blindness for one round and dazzling the target for d4 rounds.' The current 'when thrown you must make a Fortitude Save' is problematic - at the moment it could be read to mean that this is some kind of uber-coin of awesome and affects everyone in the multiverse!

Flaming and Exploding caltrops sound quite entertaining, although they may set a dangerous precedent - Vorpal caltrops anyone?

I used the formula for skills in the DMG using Skill Bonus Squared x 100gp. So thats 4(2^2 x100) which equals 1,600gp. Also there's the requirement that you need ranks in the skills to get the bonuses which should reduce the price slightly.

I'll make those edits to the Flash Coin. That will make it easier to understand. Thanks.

I enjoyed creating the Flaming/Exploding caltrops. I'll probably be creating more interesting ones later.

That's right, but the guidelines also have (it's hidden away in a little box on the opposite page, I think) a rule that says that you add 50% to the price of each ability after the first on an item that takes up a body slot, because it's more valuable - that adds 600gp.

With respect to the requirement to have a skill to gain a buff to it, I don't think I'd award a discount. Small skill buff items aren't a great choice for characters without the appropriate skills anyway. IIRC, the guideline for discounting items based on requirements was if the item was seriously dependent on the skill check - Crystal Balls were dependent on Scry (when it existed) when that guideline was written. The thing about discounts for items with requirements is broken in some senses anyway (getting a discount on your magic item whilst making it useless to anyone who steals it, for example)

The Wizard's Glasses should cost an extra 4000gp+0xp to create for the material components used in casting identify 2/day. It also has the price increase for multiple-ability items which take up an item slot.

Ah. Well that explains it. I upped the price to 2,250gp. It's a little off mainly because of it's just small skill bonuses. I do see your points on the discounted price. Thank you for pointing that out.

Also thanks for the edit critique on the Wizard's Spectacles. I'll add in the price for creation.

Anyway, I posted some content in the Races/Monsters/Templates section. I posted my Moogle and started transferring my Undead Mods, begining with the Boneweapon Zombie/Skeleton.

Really? I read it as each additional ability you add to something. It seems a bit unreasonable to pay 12000gp to fuse two stat-buff items (at 4k each!)

The Warforged screwdriver is quite entertaining, but it could be a bit overpowered (acquired at 4th level - 6d8hp healing is a lot). I'm not a Warforged expert though.

The multi-ability pricing applies to a few more items as well.

I'll check through the prices and edit them accordingly. The Warforged Screwdriver is based of the Healing Belt in the MIC which does the same thing but heals creatures and damages zombies. The Healing Belt costs only 750gp. So I upped the price a bit to make it probably a little more balanced, but still close. I'm glad you like it. My warforged sure like it, alot.

I'm ... not understanding your thought process. How did I say a two-stat-buff item would be 12k? 1600 * 1.5 = 2400.

An amulet that gave both +2 Constitution and +2 Wisdom would, indeed, cost less than 12k. It would cost 10k. (Although Wats is using Magic Item Compendium, which changed this rule ... so said amulet would only be 8k ...)

Every ability of an item except its most expensive ability costs 1.5x what it would cost by itself.

People have been known to call the Healing Belt overpowered. It's certainly not a game-breaker, and I use it; but it might be better priced at 1000 itself. Plus, it uses a body slot. Your screwdriver does not. The standard guideline for making a body-slot effect slotless is x2 cost. Of course, yours also doesn't have the marginal use of damaging undead. I think 1500 would be a fair compromise for the Screwdriver.

We seem to be in agreement there. There were four abilities, three of which went up 50%, and every ability was 400gp. That adds up to 2200gp, not 2400. The example fused stat-buff item was mainly there because I was worried that I'd end up paying ridiculous amounts of money for an item I usually give my characters for uniqueness reasons. (the main custom item I request is always that sort of thing)

I know the debate over the healing belt. I don't think it's that bad of an item. I've never had problems with it though. Anyway, I did not take into account the slot-less part of the Warforged Screwdriver. I shall edit the price accordingly.

Here is my first custom item to be new on this thread! I'm having a slight difficulty determining price because I have nothing really to base it off of.

Sticky Caltrops
Price: 1,000 gp
Body Slot: — (Held)
Caster Level: 3rd
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) Transmutation
Activation: Standard
Weight: 2 lb.

This brown leather bag has several sharp points and has a few runes incribed upon it. Caltrops are pulled out of the bag, but they're not normal ones. They are greenish and have a slight sticky feeling to them.

This bag allows you to produce Sticky Caltrops. Sticky Caltrops look like normal ones until stepped on. When stepped on, the caltrops pierce and deal 1 point of damage and then turn into a very sticky adhesive. The adhesive inflicts a -1 penalty to AC and Reflex saves due to the added difficulty of moving around for 5 rounds. The normal half-speed movement penalty still applies and lasts for only 12 hours (because the wound isn't as bad as normal caltrops), or until the creature is successfully treated with a DC 13 Heal check, or until it receives at least 1 point of magical healing. You can produce Sticky Caltrops 3/Day after which the bag becomes inactive till the following day at dawn.

Prereqs: Craft Wondrous Item, Web, Caltrops (Spell Compendium)
Cost to Create: 500gp, 40 XP, 1 Day

I'm also going to be doing quite a few quick, simple, easy access 3-5 Level PrC's for more customization of characters without complicated multiclassing and high levels. Here is my first idea, a 3 Level Blunt weapon specialist; Any thoughts?

SLEDGEHAMMER

"It's hammer time!"

A Sledgehammer is a blunt weapon specialist. They are brutal fighters who favor warhammers and maces over blades and spears. They focus on dealing high damage and crushing their opponents with great strength. Some of their attacks leave enemies dazed and thrown back.

Requirements
To qualify to become a Sledgehammer, you must fulfill all the following criteria.
Base Attack Bonus: +5
Feats: Power Attack, Weapon Focus (Any melee Bludgeoning)

Class Skills
The Sledgehammer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Indimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Swim (Str)
Skills Points at Each Level : 2 + Int Mod

Hit Dice: d10

{table=head]Level|Base Attack<br>Bonus|Fort Save|Ref Save|Will Save|Special

1st|
+1|
+2|
+0|
+0|Bludgeoning Specialist, Breakin' Things

2nd|
+2|
+3|
+0|
+0|Hammer Time, Momentum

3rd|
+3|
+3|
+1|
+1|Blunt Trama[/table]

Weapon Proficiencies: A Sledgehammer gains no new proficiencies.

Bludgeoning Specialist (Ex): A Sledgehammer starts by focusing on the use of blunt weapons, such as the warhammer or mace. A Sledgehammer gains Weapon Specialization with the weapon he has Weapon Focus with as a bonus feat.

Breakin' Things (Ex): A Sledgehammer is an expert in breaking objects with their hammers and maces. A Sledgehammer ignores half the hardness of an object.

Hammer Time (Ex): A Sledgehammer learns to use the mass and weight of blunt weapons to gain greater momentum and cause more damage. A Sledgehammer gains an additional +2 to Attack and Damage on a charge.

Momentum (Ex): A Sledgehammer has tremendous momentum in their swings and become harder and harder to stop once they've started. For each successful hit, the Sledgehammer gains a +1 Attack/Damage. The bonus can not exceed your BAB. If you miss the bonus is lessened by 1; if you are hit or inflicted with any damage, the bonus is halved, rounded down (i.e. 1 becomes 0).

Blunt Trama (Ex): A Sledgehammer studies and gains the use of several techniques to use in combat. A Sledgehammer may use one of the techs below once per encounter.
Dazzled: Using Power Attack with at least a -3 penalty, you make an attack as a standard action against an enemy. If the attack hits, you deal normal damage plus the target is dazed for one round.
Swinging Bullrush: Make a bullrush attempt against an enemy. If the bullrush attempt succeeds, you deal your base weapon damage in addition to pushing the target back as normal.

I've play tested them some and I find they're quite useful and balanced. They're just better, and more expensive, crossbows. It's the Spellguns and stuff I have yet to play test.

Anyway, here's the first spell(s) to be homebrewed on this thread!

Force Bolt, Lesser
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Medium (100ft + 10ft/CL)
Effect: One Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

After preforming a quick movement of your hand, a blast of force erupts from your outstretched palm.

A bolt of force flies from your palm at a target. The bolt deals (1d4+1) per CL (Max 5d4+5) force damage. The attack requires a ranged touch attack roll to hit. Since it is a force effect, the spell can hit incorpreal creatures.

Force Bolt
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Medium (100ft + 10ft/CL)
Effect: One Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

A more intricate gesture of your hand, a greater pluse of pure force flows out your outstretched arm.

A greater bolt of force flies from your palm at a target. The bolt of force deals (1d6+1) per CL force damage (Max 10d6+10). The attack requires a ranged touch attack roll. Since it is a force effect, the spell can hit incorpreal creatures.

Double Barrel Force
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Medium (100ft + 10ft/CL)
Effect: Two Rays
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

You preform a simple incantation with both of your arms, and a bolt of force comes screaming out of both palms.

A bolt of force flies out both of your palms, hitting two targets, or the same one twice. The spell fires two bolts of force, each dealing (1d4+1) per CL of force damage (Max 5d4+5 each). You may fire a bolt at two different targets, or the same target. Both require a ranged touch attack roll. Since this is a force effect, this spell can hit incorpreal creatures.

lesser_minion
2009-02-05, 12:43 AM
Lesser Force Bolt seems a bit weak for a 2nd level spell - once you hit relatively high levels, a magic missile (which is lower level as well) is much more useful. That leaves you with a few extra levels of dealing 10-25 points of damage, at a point when you have somewhat better uses for 2nd level spells and most of your party has better ways to deal damage.

The Force Bolt is good - quite a bit of damage, which is unlikely to be resisted by the target.

I don't really like Double Barreled Force - this has the problem of being the same level as Force Bolt, but less damaging and less likely to work - not a great trade, even for the added versatility of two bolts.

Otherwise, interesting ideas - they could mesh fairly well with the Force Missile Mage character concept.

The bolt deals (1d4+1)/CL (Max 5d4+5)

I'm assuming that you mean 1d4+1 per caster level, max 5d4+5. Remember that you could interpret it as 1d4+1 divided by caster level.

The spells look fine to me.

2009-02-05, 07:07 PM

Magic Missile Bat
Price: 16,312gp
Body Slot: -- (held)
Caster Level: 8th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) Evocation
Activation: See Text
Weight: 5 lb.

This warhammer has a faint blue sheen and is quite reflective and polished to a brilliant shine. It contains a sparkling shappire in the pommel of the weapon with a few runes inscribed upon the hammer itself.

A Magic Missile Bat functions as a +1 Pyschokinetic (+1d4 Force Damage) Warhammer with some interesting abilities. The Magic Missle Bat can be used to deflect spells, and even send them back to the original caster.

Once per Ecounter, the Magic Missile Bat can deflect a spell. The spell must have a ranged attack roll (touch or normal), must be targeted at you, and the spell can not exceed 3rd Level; exception: the bat automatically deflects magic missle if you choose to deflect the spell. Deflecting is an immediate action and takes up your swift/immediate action for the round. If you want to deflect the attack, roll an attack roll using just your highest BAB against the spellcaster's attack roll. If your attack is lower, the spell hits normally but the use is not wasted. If your attack roll is greater, the spell is deflected and the attempt is used. If your attack roll is great enough to beat the AC of the original caster, the spell hits them and functions normally; the attempt is used. If the spell has multiple rays, etc. the Magic Missle Bat can only deflect one of them; the rest hit you if the attack roll beats your AC. After the attempt is used, the Magic Missile Bat is reduced to a +1 Warhammer until 5 minutes after the encounter, after which it regains all of its abilities.

I think this one feels like it might be a little under-priced as well. If we work on it being worth about as much as a spell turning effect (even though Spell Turning can't actually help with rays), you would end up with an enchantment price of about 182,000gp. I'd probably assume a 5th level spell, cast at CL13 in this case though - this would be a 130,000gp enchantment.

I don't think I'd allow any item to mitigate an enchantment cost below half price under any circumstances. The main mitigating factors are:


Effect is dependent on an attack roll
Effect is limited to only certain types of spells (MM, rays, orbs and acid arrow)
Fluff suggests that rays, lines, cones, orbs and MMs are actually the easiest deflected(!)
I wouldn't actually trust a guideline that suggests a price reduction for a power that's encounter-restricted, I'd suggest encounter restriction if the item came out blatantly overpriced.


I'd probably put the overall price of the enchantment at 60%, for an overall price of 78k for this enchantment. My current instinct suggests that this may still be too much, but please note that my personal gut instinct for balance can be very wrong at times.

watsyurname529
2009-02-08, 07:10 PM
I see your points but before I discuss, I forgot one of the main points on the spell deflecting, it can not exceed 3rd Level. That was the main reason why I didn't price it too high, however maybe I did price it somewhat too low.

I'll add some to the price anyway to help. Also I have to specific that it's an immediate action and uses up your Swift/Immediate action for the round.

Cargo Shield
Price: 5,657
Body Slot: -- (held)
Caster Level: 6th
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) conjuration
Activation: See Text
Weight: 10 lb.

This heavy wooden shield is made from the finest oak. On the back of the shield, 16 small doors can be seen carved into the wood. Upon opening, each one is a tiny extradimensional cabinet.

The Cargo Shield functions as a +2 Heavy Wooden Shield with extra properties. The shield, via the cabinets, can hold various items. The shield has 16 small cabinets which can hold one item of either Diminutive or Fine size each; 8 cabinets may be used to store a Tiny item. Accessing the cabinets is a Free action. The shield has a lock above all the doors, which can be used to un/lock all the doors at once. A small metal key is created upon creation for the shield. The lock can not be picked, only a Knock spell of equal or greater caster level than the shield can unlock it.

Additionally, the stored objects give the shield more mass, making the shield weigh slightly more. The cabinets add up to 4 lbs more of weight, i.e. every 4 cabinets filled adds one pound, rounded down. This added weight and mass gives the shield greater momentum which adds to its bashing damage. Every pound adds +1 damage on a shield bash.

If the Cargo Shield is somehow destroyed, then all of its contents are flung out all over the floor. The occupy the space in which the shield was destroyed.

Price: 6,310gp
Body Slot: -- (held)
Caster Level: 6th
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) necromancy
Activation: See Text
Weight: 2 lb.

This short sword has a dark black onyx crystal in it's pommel and a line of dark green jade down the center of the blade, which looks like the jade swirls around in it's stone.

The Razor of Gloom is a +1 Short Sword with a curse to those who are struck by it. When attacking with the Razor of Gloom, the wielder can choose to infect its target with Gloom, causing it to become weak. As part of an attack with the Razor of Gloom, once per encounter the wielder may choose to infect with the attack. If the attack hits, the target must make a DC 16 Fort save or be infected, if the attack does not hit, the target must still make the save but with a +3 bonus. The attempt is used regardless whether the target is infected. If the target is infected, roll a d4 to see the effect the Gloom has taken:

1: -2 Attack/Damage

Random question;
Does the magic stone projectile of the Magic Stone Sling item include the double damage vs. undead property?


Love the undead modifications, and several of the items (particularly the greased blade and skiprock dagger).

Other ideas for undead modifications;

1) sew a zombies fists shut around stones or bags of sand, to give them weight, and punch nails and blades through the fists, making them into impromptu morningstars. (Increase slam damage by one die and make it B/P.) For added nasty, coat the nail-spiked weighted fists with dung and offal, to ensure Filth Fever afflicts any survivors.

2) implant extra bones into zombies, to increase their natural armor (shoulder blades as plates, extra ribs as support, etc.) or even add limited damage reduction (or simply extra pre-existing damage reduction to include slashing).

3) 'cure' zombies via smoking to toughen up their skin and flesh to the consistency of cuir bolloi (boiled leather) armor, again, increasing armor class.

4) alchemically 'shellac' the bones of a skeleton to be as hard as iron (and a dull rust-blood-red color), giving natural armor (or damage reduction?) at the expense of lowered dexterity. A full 'coating' could give a skeleton a +2 or +4 natural armor, at the cost of -2 or -4 Dexterity (which would cancel out half of the bonus, due to the lose of dex bonus to AC).

5) create skeletons that are proficient with martial melee weapons made of animal matter (bone weapons, armor and shields, bows made from bone and sinew, etc.). The addition of bone armor, heavy bone shields and bone-shard studded morning stars or bone-tipped shortspears or sharpened-shoulder-blade headed axes could make for some much more effective low-level adversaries.

6) stolen from Hollowfaust, make 'Masterwork' skeletons, combining mundane craft skills, mending spells on the materials and alchemical preservation to assemble skeletons with increased strength, dexterity, natural armor and higher than normal hit points (bonus hit points based on size, like Constructs, but at only half that value, giving a Medium Skeleton +10 hit points, instead of the +20 a Medium Construct would get).

7) using whatever scraps and shards of bone remain unsuitable for use in making high-quality skeletons to lash together into caltrops of bone. Alchemically treat them for strength. Animate them as swarms of ambulatory caltrops that move around and get underfoot all by themselves. Coat them with dung and offal to ensure that anyone affected by them also suffers from Filth Fever while laid up. Send your skeletons, whose damage reduction against piercing damage makes them immune to caltrops, in with these 'skeletal caltrop swarms.'

8) use inflict minor wounds (1 hp of negative energy damage) to create 'magical' weapons of extreme cheapness for your undead minions. Put the spell on barbed weapons that are designed to lodge in the living adversary, inflicting a point of negative energy damage (or just inhibiting healing attempts?) until they are surgically removed.

Thanks, glad you like them. I always found standard zombies/skeletons/undead in general to be sightly boring.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll get onto making more templates and sample monsters.

Gravestone Shield
Price: 7,670gp
Body Slot: -- (Held)
Caster Level: 6th
Aura: Moderate (DC 18); Conjuration & Necromancy
Activation: Full-Round
Weight: 16 lb.

"This grey steel shield is in the shape of a gravestone, but where the name should go, it just says 'Here Lies...'. A black gem sets in the upper middle of the shield."

The Gravestone Shield is a +1 Ghost Ward Heavy Steel Shield that can summon the undead. The shield is shoved into the ground speaking the command word and it sinks into the ground acting like a real gravestone while a skeleton crawls out of the ground in front of it as if it was buried there. 3/Day as a full-round action (that does not provoke AoO's) you may summon an undead skeleton this way, but you lose your Shield bonus to AC until the start of your next round. The skeleton is a 3 HD Human Warrior Skeleton and wields either a Heavy Shield + Scimitar; Heavy Shield + Battle Axe; or two-handed Greatsword. The skeleton obeys all of your commands and lasts for 5 rounds unless killed.

More powerful versions of the Gravestone shield can be produced by adding HD to the current skeleton, by summoning Owlbear skeletons, increasing duration, etc.

The following summons can be substituted for the 3 HD Human Warrior Skeleton without changing the price:


2 HD Orc Skeleton
2 HD Hobgoblin Skeleton
2 HD Wolf Skeleton

Check out the magic item creation guidelines (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm) for pricing items. Or look at similar items. Bear in mind these are just guidelines. Keep your eyes open for anything different from the norm and guestimate adjustments accordingly. For example, custom items that give bonuses to skills that standard items don't, like use magic device, is a common form of abuse.

Here are a few examples I did:
Flaming Caltrops: 1200 gp (CL 1 burning hands 3/day, use activated)
Gloves of Kobold Thievery: Technically 1600 gp, but arguably more since all but open lock are hard to get bonuses to.
Stealth Cloak: 400 (MS) + 400 (hide) + 2160 (darkness 1/day) + 2160 (invsibility 1/day) = 5120. And abilities should be standard action activated or else cost a LOT more.
Shoes of Fast Sneaking: 900 (MS) + 3000 (boots of striding and springing) = 3900

Thank you for the reply. I know some of my items get priced wrong, and usually (i.e. 90% of the time) under priced. Those are some of the first items I did and did a long time ago and I haven't gotten around to updating them.

Flaming Caltrops: I priced this lower because it's not a standard Burning Hands spell. It applies only to one target and only if they step on the caltrops. That or I can use 1,200 and make it endless (5/Day or 1/Encounter). I'll probably bump it up to at least 600gp though.

Gloves of Kobold Thievery: I priced that higher because of adding multiple skill bonuses, at least in the guidelines, warranted an increase in price. Which I thought was fine since it's four different skills.

Stealth Cloak: Yeah, once again, one of my first items and not very well proofread. The abilities should be standard and I'll change that and I'll up the price to 5,000gp.

Shoes of Fast Sneaking: Not sure how I got that price, but I'll change it.

I base the prices off the guidelines, or I at least try to, but then I also look at other items, specifically in the magic item compendium (which are generally cheaper than the DMG items) and then I just wing it. So yeah, the prices sometimes get wacky, but that's why I ask other people to look at them.

Thanks for the critique, I hope you found my items interesting. Any ideas gladly accepted.

Aren't boots that increase speed by 10 as an enchantment bonus the same as a permant longstrider effect?

1*1*2000 is a surer price than subtracting the springing part of the boots of striding and springing.

watsyurname529
2009-10-19, 10:01 PM
ericgrau and I both based it off of the item Boot of Striding and Springing which is 5,500gp. Take away the +5 Jumping (Springing) part which is 2,500 going by the guidelines (5^2 * 100) leaves 3,000gp for the +10ft Land speed.

I'm not sure what you mean by "surer" but by going by the guidelines your way comes out to 2,000gp. However that also means I can do the same thing with the True Strike spell and get 8,000gp for a constant +20 bonus to attack which is way, way, way too cheap and overpowered for that price tag.

deuxhero
2009-10-19, 10:13 PM
No, with true strike you get a +20 to either your next attack roll after putting the item on, or you get to use true strike at will and only have a standard action every other turn.

watsyurname529
2009-10-22, 03:35 PM
So then it's back down to 2k gp for an at-will item to give me +20 attack on my next turn. Give it to my cohort, he uses it on me every turn. Use power attack. Profit. Either way, it's best to use preexisting items for determining price.

Anyway, on to my next item.

Gravestone Shield's fluff implies to me that activating it should be a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, since you have to crouch down to get the bottom of it into the ground, and then wait at least a second or two while the skeleton crawls out of the ground.

watsyurname529
2009-10-22, 10:02 PM
Yeah, and I was toying with that idea. I think I'll make it a full-round action but increase the skeleton to 3 HD or an Orc or something.

DracoDei
2009-10-22, 10:32 PM
That works, alternatively you could drop the cost (or both, and make two explicitly statted out items instead of only one, with everything else implied.).

Gravestone Shield increase to full round action and the skeleton summon has been increased to 3 HD along with some substitutions added.
