How does a glamerweave behave in an environment or situation where magic is suppressed? Does it lose its glamer, and become normal cloth? Or is the magic so deeply ingrained in the cloth that it is not affected (something that cannot be dublicated with other magic items since their magic is much more complicated)? 2. How does one go about creating it? Does one need an item creation feat? A special loom or equipment (if so, at what price?), a special spell, or a special use of prestidigitation (what about the 1 hr limit?) while weaving it? Any ideas and comments would be appreciated...

I don't think I'd require a feat to create glamerweave, simply because I don't foresee a slew of PCs rushing to open shops. I like the idea of a special use of prestidigitation, but I think more fluff (and possibly crunch) would be needed to fully adequately explain the process. It's not something, honestly, that I'd ever flesh-out. Other than saying that it's clearly a gnome invention!;) Though that dwarf Clebdecher does good work...

Actually, Hellian Clamas Clebdecher (S:CoT p 55) is a gnome - she just makes her home in Highhold because the dwarves are her best clients. I'd be inclined to say that it takes Craft Wondrous Item and the ability to use prestidigitation to create glamerweave. However, beyond that I don't think it should be treated as a magic item, which is to say that you don't spend XP to create it, you can create more than one piece in a day, and so on. I would expect a glamerweave loom to be a special item as well; essentially, you need the right tools, the right sort of cloth, and just a touch of magic. The illusions would go away in an AM field, but the clothing is still exceptional. Probably lose the Diplomacy bonus, but you still look good.

Sort of like modern materials you see in jackets and the like that change color depending on the angle you look at them. Its a purely physical effect, but one that can only be obtained by magic. Sort of like using Fabricate to make Adamantine Full Plate (because crafting it takes entirely too damned long). The resulting full plate is totally non-magical, but the process used to produce it was magical.

Ohhh nooo...my memory's failed me.:raincloud Between the aberrations back home in the Eldeen, and the Emerald Claw agents everywhere, it's been a long time since I've been back to Sharn. Don't tell her I called her a dwarf, or she might never deal with our party. I originally thought she was a gnome, but I remembered, or rather imagined, that I later read otherwise. There she is on page 55. I'm not sure why I ever got confused.
Syltorian 06-04-07, 08:22 AM	Thanks for the replies! I was merely wondering what would happen if a character decided to craft her own glamerweave. Hellcow, your process seems a good way of doing it. Thanks again!
