Kuzan's Updated Magic Item List -- Includes SRD and Magic Item Compendium items

Some clarifications:

First, the classes are arranged as such:

Fighter: Items that focus mostly on attacks and damage and Str
Rogue: Items that focus on certain Roguely skills and Dex
Wizard: Items that focus on spell damage, arcane magic, Int
Cleric: Items that focus mostly on divine casting and Wis

Now, before you get all carried away, there are some Rules that I'm establishing!

Commission Rules

1. All commissions must be done via RP. No exceptions! If you want something from me, my AIM and other messengers are in plenty of view! I will not make the item until you do! And this will open up other avenues for character interaction, which is something NT will love us both for.

2. Schedule and confirm with me OOC before the RP. I have a set amount of time for crafting items, so I can't accommodate everyone, as much as I would like to. In addition, there are some things I want/need to make for myself or for the group. So before you approach me in RP, come talk to me OOC to make sure I can slot you in.

3. NT has ruled that I can make multiple items per day if the total cost isn't over 1000. I basically made all those blessed bandages in one or two days since they're dirt cheap. That means if you want a couple of Doodads of Blah that cost 500gp each, I can make 2 in one day.

4. The buyer is responsible for scrolls and expensive spell components. Some spells are not immediately available in the party. It's been suggested to me that the Vistani might have some scrolls for sale. Some spells, like stoneskin, will also require expensive material components to cast. If you are buying the item, you are responsible for paying for the scroll and any expensive material components involved in the casting.

5. Not a rule so much as a suggestion. I encourage at least one or two people to buy a Healing Belt. If your belt slot isn't used up, these things are absolutely amazing. It's sort of like a reusable healing potion. For about 560gp, you get an item that gives you 2d8 healing three times per day -- or 3d8 once and 2d8 once...or 4d8 once, depending on how you need it). And you can do it on yourself or on a creature touched. That's huge for the price. Plus, Kuzan can only heal one person at a time, and he can't be everywhere at once. The advantage is that it makes you able to take care of yourself if Kuzan's not there or if a lot of people take damage at once. The other advantage is I can more safely use my spell slots for the spells prepared in them rather than a cure spell. It won't diminish Kuzan's role as healer (he can heal WAY more hp in one shot than the belt can), but it will help spread the love in a pinch.

The Schedule

I've been informed we have about 7 days before our next book. I am planning to use 3 of those days for making a pair of Sending Stones and for making scrolls for myself. The other 4 are open for commissions. This is semi-first-come, first-serve basis. I'll try and work with everyone I can, but no guarantees.

This schedule is not necessarily in chronological order, it's just a way of me keeping things straight so I know how much time is left.

Day 1: Healing Belt (Otto) 750gp
Day 2: Elixirs (Ulsaon, 1 of each) 500gp
Day 3: Wink Brooch (Charles) 600gp
Day 4: Powder of the Black Veil (Khalil) 750gp
Day 5: Sending Stones (Kuzan/Party) 1000gp (full)
Day 6: Sending Stones (Kuzan/Party) 400gp; Scrolls (Kuzan) 600gp (full)
Day 7: Scrolls (Kuzan) 1000gp (full)

Total XP Spent before Scrolls: 480

If there's money "left over" in a day, you can still commission for the remainder of that day's cash if you want.

I think that's about it. If you have any questions, feel free to send them my way!

Isn't this three times total? According to the little blurb, the belt has three charges, which usually means "use 'em once and they're gone". That's also, sadly, much more in line with the actual price of the thing.

wand of light wounds 750gp 50 charges. tah-dah!

Nope.

The Healing Belt, along with the vast majority of Magic Item Compendium items, works off the 'Three charges renewed each day at dawn' idea.

[The Whistler]

Sign me up for a belt, if you have room! Even with pistoleer levels, Otto is still pretty fragile.

[NeoTiamat]

Theres another item both Otto and Charles should take a look at; Deathstrike Bracers. Three times a day, for one round each, you can sneak attack creatures normally immune to sneak attacks.

Notably undead, which with Cavendish out and about is never a bad idea, but also elementals, oozes, constructs, and plants. Costs 3750 gp from Kuzan.

While other situations may vary, I will rule that you can acquire a Keen Edge scroll from either the Vistani or from Basler, at the normal cost.

[Kaitou Kage]

With the Deathstrike Bracers, I'd say get a scroll and help pay for Lia's scribing costs, and then sit tight. Unfortunately, the bracers take so long to make that even if I used the whole week for anyone's stuff, I'd only be able to produce one set.

Oh, and... *ninja edits the /day into the healing belt's description*

[The Whistler]

Otto already has his bracers slot filled, anyway, so I'm cool.

[Kaitou Kage]

All right, then. I've got Otto down for a healing belt, and Ulsaon wants a couple of elixirs of hiding/sneaking That leaves 2 days for people, assuming the RP commission comes through

I'll update the schedule above.

I'd ask for a healing belt, but Lia hasn't got the cash - unless you're willing to have her pay through adding wizard spells to some of your creations. Anyone who wants a scroll off of Lia is going to have to pay very big money, though ... ^^;

Heh...If it cost the caster anything to do that, I'd consider it, but the onus of XP cost is entirely on me So it's gonna have to go the old fashioned way.

On the other hand, you might find yourself being given some spells and having scribing costs funded

[Nathan of the FoS]

Okay, Charles is gonna splash out for the scroll and Lia's transcription for keen edge. If anyone wants to help, good! If not, also fine, but Charles gets to be first in line for the bracers.

That's 675 gp?

[Rock of the Fraternity]

I don't actually have keen edge to scribe, guys ...
