The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

[Rock of the Fraternity]

I don't mind, I just can't cast it any more today.

[yalenusveler]

No big. I'll take dispel ward tomorrow.

[NeoTiamat]

I'm back! Sorry guys, papers + exam + interview = fricaseed DM.

Alrighty, so far, exploration continues apace.

If anyone has checks or such that I haven't answered, drop me a line on AIM, or barring that, PM.

If possible, and assuming people talk about these metals, Kuzan would be interested in getting a holy symbol fashioned from that Mournlode.

[Kaitou Kage]

Got two pictures here.

First, we have Professor Carter, along with a short story that tells what, exactly, is going on in that scene.

And then we have Ishaq.

[DocBeard]

Sure, Kuz. We actually have enough of the stuff to be handy that way.

Man, I wish I improved my armor back at the city, but I just didn't have the cash...

...anyway, if people are willing to wait, I might be able to get enough Blacksmithing to have a chance to smelt the ores with our current equipment next level.

[NeoTiamat]

Any objections if the next post I make (a little later today), moves everyone back to the barracks? Then you guys can compare notes, chat, and we'll see what happens.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding crafting, I'll be using the rules in the SRD, with a few minor changes. First off, I'll be tracking the cost in gold pieces, and second off, I'll be doing it by day. In other words, if Kuzan can enchant some Gloves of Dex in two days, no reason Tomas should take five weeks to make an Infernal Greensteel dagger.

So each day, you make a craft check, then multiply the craft check by the item DC. (the entire list is in the SRD, I believe holy symbols are considered to be High Quality items, ergo, DC 15.) That number is the number of gold pieces worth of crafting you've done, and when that number reaches the items price, then ta-da! You're done.

A fully-outfitted forge, like the one in the keep, provides a +2 Circumstance bonus. The smaller, travelling forge with the Expedition provides no bonus but counts as tools, so no penalty either. You can also have up to two assistants Aiding Another for your check. In their case, its a straight-up Int Check, unless you find someone who has ranks in Craft Blacksmith.

Think that covers everything.

Wow. I'm glad my only item creation feat is Scribe Scroll ...

[Kaitou Kage]

Craft the skill works way differently from item creation feats, Rock. You don't use any of the above rules to scribe scrolls.

Though speaking of scribe scroll, you may want to sit down and have Lia make up a nice library in the downtime Having scrolls available is extremely handy for keeping a wide repertoire of available spells.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Yyyyeah, I think I'll wait until we're between books again. I have a feeling Lia will need her spellcasting power while we're in this place. But when downtime does arrive, I want to scribe some scrolls of Fly, at the very least.

[Kaitou Kage]

Between books is what I meant by downtime Obviously there's not enough time to do it during a book.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

I know. ^^

[Rock of the Fraternity]

An important heads-up: I'll be on a roughly week-long trip to Greece starting next sunday. My posting, if I manage to do any, will be minimal. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes to the campaign.

[Kaitou Kage]

Have fun in Greece!

[NeoTiamat]
