Aramek 09-09-04, 11:13 PM	Hello everyone. Scruffy the Blue Mage is in need of some new equipment. He has 17,000 gp now in which to buy things. My current Equipment is but a Tail Bead of Resistance +3, and a Cape of Charisma +6. Other than increasing the Resistance, what more does a devilishly handsome Spontanious Caster need? Home brew items are attainable, but a few pointers would be helpful. ...Plus Scruffy can't exactly lug 340lbs of Coins around. - Aramek.
Mr. Dog 09-09-04, 11:18 PM	If your wisdom score is decent, grab a monk's belt.
Aramek 09-09-04, 11:24 PM	Str: 1 Dex: 20 Con: 16 Int: 15 Wis: 10 Cha: 26 So, yeah, The AC bonus would be cool, but Scruffy is awfully Bullheaded. Especially for a mage.
Mr. Dog 09-09-04, 11:30 PM	A belt of strength, perhaps? Heh. One ray of enfeeblement and you're toast.
Aramek 09-09-04, 11:37 PM	Indeed. I had rolled a 5. -4 for Racial. So far the problem hasn't happened. That is a good idea. Any other ideas? I really like the whole "Get them really fast with a spell" So I may increase Dex for that ever-so-good Initiative mod. :D
SolitudeSeraph 09-09-04, 11:42 PM	You don't have to haul 340lbs of gold around when there's a thing called promisary notes :D How about an item with Kauper's Skittish Nerves (4,000gp the spell is from Magic of Faerun..but with a little convincing you could use it if you're not in Faerun) for +5 to Initiative? A mage can always use a higher initiative.. Or a ring of protection (or twilight buckler and twilight mithral chain shirt) to up your AC? (of course you would need more strength though..)
catharz 09-09-04, 11:43 PM	A belt of strength, perhaps? Heh. One ray of enfeeblement and you're toast. Actually, he is immune to Ray of enfeeblement. How about a ring of Sustenance (2,500 gp), a Folding boat (7,200 gp), and some Robe of powerlessness (5,500 gp)? Only 15,200 gp, so you can keep the extra 1,800 in the boat.
DBoot 09-09-04, 11:44 PM	Better than a belt, get some sort of protection from draining. If you've been playing scruffy for a while, I imagine you've gotten used to the idea that you can't lift anything.
Aramek 09-09-04, 11:52 PM	Oh yeah, I don't have hands, I can't lift. Scruffy is a Blue Mage 11. Elven Starstepper. (Dimunitive blue kitty thing with bat wings.) Hence the Str 1. I normally sit on the shoulder of the Cleric when not in battle. I don't think I could stay aloft for too many minutes. And yes, we are in Faerun. I'll have to read MoF more often.

Found in my siggy. http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=137596 And the elven starstepper is the Race he is: The link is found at the bottom of the 2nd thread. The Search is down, and the Link is old, so I'll fix it as soon as I can. Certain highlights were... -4 Str +4 Dex Dim. Size. Natural Armour +2 (Ex) Flight. 60' Telepathy. Favoured Class: Blue Mage. Dimunitive Fluffy blue kitty. Red membranious (Bat wings) Locomote the creature. They speak through the minds and thoughts of creatures. An adorable *meow* is all they naturtally can speak.
darkwave 09-11-04, 01:28 AM	Well, reading on your power, maybe Borrow a Lyre of Building and play around with it for a while... Shoot, we often play with the 10% rule, borrow some things worth up to 170,000, say some Bracers of Armor+8, Crystal Ball and that Lyre of Building. Fool around with them for a while and sell them back. :D Or did I miss something about the Blue Mage's powers?
Seyluun 09-11-04, 07:13 AM	You need more Strenght. Any spell making you fatigued drop you. A CR3 Shadow kill you during the surprise round.

It is possible to learn spells freom items...but only spell mimic items. Such as a wand of Fireball. I could learn Fireball. Or a potion of Flying...etc.
The Final Dream 09-11-04, 03:42 PM	In case you still can't find a use for that money, 17,000 gp buys 8,500 sheep.
SolitudeSeraph 09-11-04, 03:49 PM	In case you still can't find a use for that money, 17,000 gp buys 8,500 sheep. With that many sheep..you could start the world's larget sheep farm and then make money off of that :D
Aramek 09-11-04, 10:42 PM	In case you still can't find a use for that money, 17,000 gp buys 8,500 sheep. Sheep? I don't need any more. With a +30 Bluff Check...I have the rest of the party. ^_^
