DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7

[RCgothic]

I'm good.

[redzimmer]

Yes. Though I’ve still not perused the Naga spell book or spoke with dead yet.

Will DC 17 for Illthane. After that spending 375 gp on a Shrink item scroll which I’ll then use on the head so can carry it in my bag of holding.

[Starbin]

I need a Dex bonus item ... not sure if our host will have something, but thinking a belt ... either a +4 Dex or +2 Dex and Str ... I suck at pricing and item creation, so if it’s doable, great. If not, that’s fine. I’m good to go ...

[Ghostfoot]

Sorry, I'll try to level up & finish everything later today. Please don't let me hold us up.

As I understand it'

+4 is 16k
+2x2 is 8k.

Half as much if crafted, but Manzorian isn't offering to craft. If you've got the money Merrick can do it, in such case you can get something else up to 20k from Manzorian.

Dex is generally hands affinity, STR is belt (but +2 is available in gloves). Both on the same is a custom item.

And I still need to research a Wu Jen to Wizard version of Giant Size for our recently returned Tal.

Actually, Tal is using giant slaying stance these days, so he like being smaller than his opponents. We’ll see how he performs in the next battle, but he’s had some, um, upgrades, I’m interested to try out.

[redzimmer]

Well someone will benefit from it anyway.

[DrK]

Zarina's spending...

• Merging Int+2 with the circlet of rapid casting +2K
• Add an Empowered spell shard (2nd) to the Amulet of health +4.5K
• Eye of Bocob for spell book 7K
• 20 Levels of assorted spells in the spell book 2K
• 2 x 50% charged 2nd level wands

[Ghostfoot]

Rolling for hp (1d8+1)[2]

[Ghostfoot]

Rolling for hp [roll0]

Okay, just about finalised everything:

+1 level Spirit Shaman
+2hp :/
+1 BAB
+1 Fort
+ 6th level spells :-)
+ 1/week instant raise dead
+1 feat (I belatedly realised max spell level for SS is based off Wis not Cha, so have retroactively grabbed Dynamic Priest to fix that. Hope that's okay, it's not on the legit list of sources).

Items:
+ Circlet Cha +6
- Cloak Cha +4
+ Manual of Gainful exercise
+2200gp

Still to do spell selection for the day

Question: Do I have the cash right (2200gp)?

[redzimmer]

Oh I should prep spells too.

[Stegyre]

Made my edits:

Amulet of Incarnum Shielding
Novice Shadow Hands
boosted my Concentration item bonus to +10
and had enough left over for 17 essentia jewels



. . . And Tal has prepared all his spells.

Cash is correct, also up to 20k worth of items from Manzorian.

Ah - an important oversight.

Will see what I can find. I hate shopping it's so intimidating.

I know, right? I go into the magic shop with her thinking I’ll just pick her up a Hat of Disguise, and then she’s trying on the Robes of the Archmagi and asking how she looks in them, and I’m thinking Honey, I was saving those diamonds for a possible resurrection . . .

You just know it isn’t going to end well for you.

And only after dropping 120K gp do you find it at the thrift store for a tenth of that.

I always try to encourage shopping for partially-charged items. “You buy a wand new, and it loses half its value once you take it out of the shop.”

[redzimmer]

Buer good pact for the quick healing help.
Astaroth good pact in case I have to grease a few palms to find this Lashonna dame.

And heads up gang, I found us a black dragon family in or around a locale called "Traitor's Grave."

Spells and info.

[RCgothic]

Can I just draw the attention of our arcane casters to the 2nd level spell
Craft Magic Tattoo?

Requires a craft check (so maybe a rejig of skill ranks) but among the DC20 benefits for casters of our level are +1 Caster Level all day, or two days with the rod of lesser extend. Alternatively I can cast "guidance of the avatar".

There are some other very nice abilities in there as well. With some 2nd level pearls of power there are benefits here for the entire party, limited only by 10 minutes casting time.

In combination with the adept spirit spell this would unlock +4 on Greater Magic Weapon and Magic Vestment for Mirriana.

Extremely nice for a 2nd level spell.

I'll see if the benevolent DM will allow me the time to purchase and transcribe this before we leave.

[redzimmer]

That was awesome. I have visions of a foul-smelling man with cloven feet and horned head screaming question at random people.

That would be fine

[redzimmer]

That is awesome.

Though technically it is Create Magic Tattoo, I think.

[redzimmer]

Okay, 150 gp spent on scroll and scribed into book check... (1d20+24)[30]

[Starbin]

DrK - would you allow two things? First is purchasing PF equivalent magic items (I’m thinking a +2 Str/Dex belt). Second would be combining the ‘credit’ from Manzo and out extra cash to purchase two items?

Also, are the Rogues Vest (MIC) and Winged Vest (MIC) available in town?

Yes to all the above. It's a soft "upgrade" as the adventure doesn't allow door the down time or the loot levels you'd normally be allowed

Okay, going with belt and the winged vest (22k total). Selling the darkweave vest of resistance +1 for 550gp, I guess.

Rules clarity question:

Does a shape-changed or polymorphed Binder still have the sign and/or abilities of the bound vestiges?

You would have the signs still and the abilities.
