Broken items
Is there a spell that will restore broken magical items to their full glory? Say the BBEG got hit by a resonant bolt and it stripped him of all his items making himeasy kill for the party but thhe party cannot revel in the apparent (non-XP) fruits of their labor since all his magic stuff was creamed by the resonant bolt?
Make whole can only make them whole but does not bring back their magical properties, right?My mother says: those on fire should roll.

Re: Broken items
Two things to think about, spells like mending for one, and the other is gathering up all the pieces, and reforging the item at half the cost...since you're really just repairing the old one.
I think that would be allowed by most reasonable DMs, unless there was some particular reason for why the pieces won't work again.Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you judge them, you're a mile away and you've got their shoes.

Re: Broken items
uhm, they were hit by a (fairly powerful, 3rd level) spell that specifically targets objects

Re: Broken items
Wish. Maybe. The safe "Undo Misfortune" clause lets you re-roll a saving throw.

That would be correct. Originally Posted by cupkeyk

Re: Broken items
Candle of invocation. What you can't do with Gate isn't worth doing.
Don’t date the sane ones, they’ll only make you crazy. Date the really insane ones but never let them know where you live or work.

Re: Broken items
I would let wish do it but depending on the loot it may not be worth the cost.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for
anything, but you still can't help but smile when
you see one tumble down the stairs.

Re: Broken items
Magic items lose their properties when destroyed, they can be repaired, but only by someone with the appropriate craft feat, and the only real benefit is that you wouldn't need to supply the material cost, you're just enchanting the same object again with the same abilities...
as far as wish is concerned, I'd say it will only create or "re-create" a magic item with an XP cost quite a bit less than it's own XP cost.
