Please, please, PLEASE tell me I'm wrong about this, but....

Artificer's Retain Essence ability says that they take an item and study it for 1 day. After a day, the item is destroyed and the xp required to make it goes into the Artificer's craft reserve.

Now, say a Truenamer was there and used the Rebuild Utterance on it. This utterance restores any item that was destroyed in the last round, the item even regaining all it's magical properties.

If this works like I think it does:

1) Artificer makes item that gives Truenamer big bonus to Truespeak.
2) Truenamer rebuilds items for free.
3) Spend 2 weeks of downtime in this process.
4) Rule world.

You still need gold, and gold could buy you a Thought Bottle, too.

Still something to think about, however. Maybe combine this with mass-produced Candles of Invocation? No... that requires 15th level...

Figure out the other half of the cost of magic items and you have it made.

There are all kinds of money making schemes - "obvious" uses from Wall of Iron, Flesh to Salt, True Creation to less "obvious" ones like a Gate to Cania (8th Layer of The Abyss) to start an ice delivery service or ski resort.

good call xak!

did you really need to bump it? I mean, sure its a cheat. and there is no reason why it wouldn't work. but really..., bumpig just to bump?

I guess yer concerned that you might not get to keep the xp for it?

if yer dm is cool with it, what are we gonna say? a cheat is a cheat... the dm has final say.

good luck!

Get your planar geography right, dammit. :P

Because a ski resort with a bunch of damned souls and their devil masters running around makes for SUCH an enjoyable vacation.

I just got this vision of a high level cleric offering paladins a ticket to a ski and hunting resort.


" Step right up, thats right, get your tickets to the holy hunting ground and ski resort! We have slopes for all levels of experience, from the bunny slopes to splatterhorn. Don't forget our crusader package. Buy a weeks stay and get a complimentry holy avenger for all your devil slaying needs. Don't forget to visit our holy water distributer, home brewed in our own chapel. Come on down for a weekend without the kids, our as summer vacation. The world will still be there later. Bring the congregation today!"

Obviously you would move the ice from Cania to your own demi-plane...

Hey, I'll have you know that we only hit -80F during our cold snaps. It's a brisk -40F the rest of the time.
