What if you made wands out of knives, then juggled them with perform(Juggle), and then activated them when you caught them and then went back to juggling them?

Thanks for the tips.
I'll get a list of spells for UMD-ing up somewhere this weekend :)


About the belt thing, I'm not a melee type ;)
But seriously though, I'll definitely take it into account, it won't be my only trick.
The Belt of Battle is mostly there so I can cover more distance once I get flight.

As for sources...
The Deathwand enhancement should be in the A&EG, while Tempo Bloodspikes are in MoE IIRC.

Found the Bloodspikes, do you want me to just use what's left of your WBL once you've finished sorting it out on them or is there a specific amount you wanted?

Can't find the Deathwand Enhancement in A+EG. I also checked in Tome and Blood, Secrets of Xen'Dirk, and Sarlona, for no reason whatsoever. Found nothing on it.

The Codex Advocare (Expedition to castle Ravenloft) can be pretty decent, giving you an extra Least invocation for 20k.

Ah, that's why I didn't see it.


It's fine. A bit more pricy than the Wand Chamber option, but it stacks with it (which means 3 wands in one weapon).

I thought it was an enhancement that let you activate a wand whenever you crit'ed with the weapon (provided the wand was stored inside the weapon).

I think that would be a little TOO brutal.

Here, have 4 scorching rays, a distract assailant and a crit bolt to the face, good day sir

It's nice for versatility :)

As for the Bloodspikes, I think I'd like the Belt of Battle better (not sure about Bloodspike costs either), so I think I'll take those of the list...

Assuming BoB is cool with you ofcourse :)

I'll allow them, but you have to wear it for one hour before you can gain it's benefits (to prevent multiple uses/combat from multiple belts).

Chahar-Aina

Looking for this thing again. What book was it in?

Edit: Small problem with the items: You can't wear gauntlets and Dastanas (same body slot). You can, however, attach the Wand Chamber to the Dastanas (I'll allow that).

I'll have to look into that, thanks :)

Total WBL: 760,000gp

Items:

Heward's Handy Haversack (2,000gp)
Cloak of Obviousnesss (133,000gp)
Tome of X +5 (412,500gp)
Mithral Dastana with Wand Chamber (1,325gp)
Mithral Chahar-Aina (1,075gp)
+1 Twilight Mithral Chain Shirt (9,150gp, plus other enhancements)
+2 Quick Loading Skilled Heavy Deathwand Light Crossbow (52,635gp+Heavy's price)
+1 Defending Eager Initiative Warning Feycraft Adamantine Spiked Gauntlet with Wand Chamber (55,805gp)
+1 Feycraft Spiked Gauntlet with Wand Chamber (3,805gp), plus other enhancements
Lesser Crystal of Arrow Deflection (25,00gp)
Rod of Many Wands (27,000gp)
Belt of Various Benefits (14,750gp) (Healing, Cincture, and Battle)
Lesser Crystals of Energy (one of each, 12,000gp)

WBL remaining for spells: 147,455gp.
WBl Used: 612,545gp.

All that's left is to decide which spells you want in which magic item (IE which spells you want to be in an Eternal Wand, which spells are in a staff, etc). Oh, and find the price modifier for Heavy. IIRC, it's about 3k.

According to MIC the reslotting/stacking of Ability Score Enhancements, Save bonuses, Natural Armor bonuses and Deflection bonuses don't cost extra, so that should be fine :)

I'll get some more stuff up this weekend.

Dastanas take up the Bracer slot if any, don't they? Also, they're nonmagical, so shouldn't be a problem for taking up magic item slots...
Also, aren't Gauntlets weapons, not 'Gloves' (as in 'magical gloves that take up the hands slot')?

Ah, you are correct. I misread the text.

What I don't get is why you are getting so many Adamantine weapons when you have a breath weapon that can deal Acid damage.

That's the paranoid wizard inside me speaking I guess. Adamantine is nice for the hardness just in case it ever gets in the way of a sword or collapsing inn or something :D
