The Madhouse [Character Creation Thread]

[Lord Torath]

Oh, my Magic Item xp is already spent:
1500 Gloves of Missile Snaring
3000 Gem of Insight
500 Pearl of Wisdom
450 Dagger of Throwing+3
1000 Talisman of Zagyg
1000 Philosopher's Stone
7450 Total

Now I'm talking about by 5,000 gp allowance. As a psionicist, heavy armor is right out, plus I'm not strong enough to wear it anyway.

That Gem of Insight is pretty pricey for what it does, though. If I could swap it for a pair of ioun stones (one +1 Int and one +1 Wis) I would, but we were told only one Ioun stone.

As far as spending large amounts of coin, some 'Exceptional Quality' items can be made, including weapons.
weapon cost: base cost +100 gp
wep benefit: +1 to hit OR dmg (never both on the same wep)
For arrows it would be 5x arrow cost
Exceptional quality non-weapons would improve their saving throws probably or make them lighter.

There are also some very expensive equipment items like a spyglass (1,000 gp) etc

The camp has a lot of basic adventuring gear, weapons and armor if you need to purchase something you forgot later; so storing easily portable cash (like 100 gp gemstones) in camp is one way any excess can be dealt with unless you specify otherwise.

So what would Exceptional Quality Heavy Leather (aka Hide) look like? Better AC? Lighter?

[TristenC]

Exceptional quality Armor is 10x the cost. you can either choose for it to be more sturdy (the item itself has +2 to relevant saves such as fire, crushing, acid, etc. More item 'hit points' before it is destroyed) Or to have it made lighter (30% lighter. This is an option I offer beyond the standard)

There are more details for racial armors and such in Complete Fighter the Equipment chapter under 'high quality racial armor'. Elven racial armor is half the weight, but Elves wont make it for non-elves

[Lord Torath]

So 150 gp for AC: 6 weighing 21 lbs (70% x 30 lbs). Okay. Something to think about.

Yeah, I'd have to do some pretty big favors for the elves before they'd make me some elven chain to fit. And it would probably interfere with my psionics anyway.
