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



True, too bad you can't have the Crossbow made out of Heavy Adamantine. Heavy is described as being made out of gold, and listed under special materials. So no go on that.

Source for the Initative quality? And the prices of the following would be nice (my Draconomicon is at the house):

Gorget of Tempest Breath
Draughts of Metabreath Magic (specific ones)
(Greater) Pectoral of Maneuverability

That should be it, aside from the wands, staves, and scrolls.

I don't have all my books with me at the moment, I'll get those prices up by tomorrow.

As for the Initiative enhancement, it's in Oriental Adventures as well.
+2 Luck to Initiative while carrying the weapon for a flat price increase of +20 000 gp.

EDIT: Already been updating my equipment post in the PbP-game, should have it done this weekend.

Ok.

One last thing: Which of the Tomes of X do you need? All three of your primary stats would cost 412,500gp, over half of your WBL (and you can live without the Cha one by simply not taking Invocations that offer saves). Dropping one or two would leave plenty of room for wands and such.

Yeah, I'm still debating that.

Constitution is a must obviously, I think you're right about the dumping of the Charisma one though.
I'll have it all done by the weekend, but I think I'll dump the Charisma-Tome

Ok. My above post (the one with all of the price tags in it) has been modified to match this, using the assumption that you are dropping at least the Cha tome.

Yeah, dropping that, and reducing the Dex Tome to a +4.

I'll include prices in my post in the game area, including body slots and price adjustments for stacking of items where necessary.

Here is the post detailing what I have so far:
http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=3744.msg118830#msg118830

Still need to decide on UMD-Items (Scrolls, Wands, Eternal Wands, Staffs, Scepters & Schemas).

Any thoughts or suggestions?


I'll be gone for the next 2 days, so my apologies in advance for not replying to everything right away. I'll be back on saturday :)

Look through the various caster handbooks for a good idea on what to take. Aside from the spells listed in my earlier post.

Copied from the game thread:

Okay, I really need to cut a lot of the (Eternal) Wands listed in my post at the moment.
Any idea yet if any of those can be paid for by the 'bonus gold' for some healing and stuff for the entire party you were talking about earlier, SiFir?

Also, any ideas yet on what you'll be getting in terms of (Eternal) Wands, bogsnes? You're a UMD-monkey as well, so I think/hope I won't have to get all the (Eternal) Wands I listed...

Anyone have thoughts about which (Eternal) Wands to dump regardless of any of the above, guys?


Thanks for any tips :)
