Do you people have any idea about how could a character create his own portable demiplane into a snow globe without using Epic Magic? (I dislike Epic Magic).

Some years ago I and enjoyed an adventure into a snow globe demiplane artifact, and now I would like to figure how could a non-divine character create it.

I guess they could create a Rod of Security shaped like a snow globe, but I think that the demiplane is created every time the rod is activaded and ceases to existe when the effect ends...not exactly what I was aiming to.

Don't remember the prc name (planar walker?) But at level 10 I believe you can make a plane. But I could also be completely misrecalling.

Edit: prc was in mop.

You could start with Genesis (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Genesis) to create the demiplane, then create a custom magic item(the snowglobe) that casts plane shift or gate only to that demiplane.

That's the only method I know. I have no idea how to cram a demiplane into a snowglobe though.

And scrying?

I'm really bad at divination. I know scry location only works on your current plane, and scrying must be centered on a creature, not a location.

If you can find an interplanar scrying spell for a location then go for it.

Yes, the idea was ripped from NWN, but in that adventure the snow globe had been created by a almost insane immortal and virtually unkillable Quasi-Deity Epic Wizard who had lived too long, had seen and learned too much and lost too much land had lost faith in anything, and had tried to create his own little universe where he could preserve forever everything he had ever loved and every dream he has cherished (mostly phantasms, permanent illusions, simulacrums...etc., passing as the real stuff for him) and carry it with him...quite sad, really, once you realized what that wonderful paradise really was...

It was basically a mix of NWN's snow globe and King Kuranes' fake Cornwall.

Kind of "be careful what you wish for" cautionary tale for people too eager to be all-powerful, all-knowing and immortal.

I dunno...the snow globe would be just a method of transport, and other powerful magic could allow people to find and enter it...kind of would deny the key aspect of having to own the snow globe in order to access the demiplane.
