Read "Corny Nuts"
Which brings us into the next edition of the Game thread! For newcomers, this is an RP thread thats been ongoing for,... shit, 3 months now. How time flies.
Anywhow, its based on a very loose and permissive rendition of classic D&D 3.5 edition as a baseline, and includes whatever additions can be effectively (and not too ludicrously) included; basically whatever players want that also makes some sense.
The party has just made some character and story developments. Trump and Tracy discover that when their powers combine they form Captain Planet,... or rather, Tracy gets uber-sized and most ferocious.
Infernius and Thez have successfully tracked down and captured a Dark Elf who had been masquerading as the proprietor of the Bazaar (there is no proprietor) who were responsible for jacking all their shit.
What happens next? I have some idea, which probably means its not going to go anywhere near how I expect.

Do you mean the listed item, or some equivalent to boots of Speed? Her flight speed is much higher than her ground speed
when transformed (also, technically counts as flying if you're 4 inches above the ground).

Fairly simple, primarily wood with some stonework. Minimal embellishments (an occasional symbol or design but no fancy sculptings like elves do it). An almost Bavarian style of architecture with steep roofs, suggesting that in colder climtes that snow is a problem. Fireplaces of varying size, also suggesting that climate control is a consideration. Emphasis on wood stains and laquers, rather than paints.

Okay, so as long as a character spends enough time crafting a non-epic item, and their character meets the prereqs, they can craft an item in the crafting room?

The map is upside down. I didn't invert it, cuz that would make the names all upside down, but yes I know what you mean, Sparintenar is the orange spot.
>>25453
A percentage of the listed cost must also be covered by appropriately fine materials (I think it's 1/4), but yes that's generally the case. All items are subject to approval, but that's more to determine if there was something obvious forgotten (meaning it wouldn't work) or something minor (meaning, I can fuck with whoever uses it)

Before or after crafting? Is it fine if we just post the listed requirements from the books, before hand?

Lesser items aren't a problem, but with greater items there may be some additional requirement I want to apply, as I disagree with some of the magic item classifications and/or descriptions. Additionally, with some items I may require that PCs be more specific about resources, intentions, effects, etc.
Example: with the cloak that Tracy is making, I could require particular materials (sack-cloth would NOT do), as well as other considerations (gems? embroidery?). I'll let Tracy continue with the cloak as is, but the more I think about it the greater level of potential detail I intuit.

Additionally, there may be penalties to certain items. A Cloak of Charisma is generally described to be a royal/fine article, which means it would stand out, potentially causing a negative to checks to hide while wearing. Just some things to think about.

T> "Oh my, I didn't realize you were thrashing about there good wizard. I am pleased to see you are not kill, allow me to help you." Proceeds to tear at some of the wrappings, loosening them enough for Torcuil to work his way out.

Is there some cut-off for Craft Level before something is considered greater than that? Maybe something like level 15?

Its not so much the Caster Level (I thought it was Craft Level for a long time too), as it is the general/specific effects, magical nature (nice/ebil, law/chaos), etc. Items of Blah +w/e aren't a problem, but several others (particularly the ones requiring Wish, Miracle, etc.) that are more restricted.

Just don't get carried away e_e
With Tracy gone, Thez wanders into the stable to check on the eggs, beaming with satisfaction (of several varieties), to find Torcuil collapsed on the ground. "Hey. HEY!" she runs up and wraps him in a bear-hug and carries him around for a bit. "You survived! Are you hungry? You haven't eaten in days! Did you have a weird mind-portal dream?"

Really, the reason why I'm not fond of declaring stuff all of the time is because I don't want to spoil stuff that badly. I find it so much more interesting to reveal stuff at the last moment for maximum dramatic effect, and it doesn't help very much if a;ll of the characters can read what I'm doing.
pic unrelated, but you get the picture, Sometimes it's fun to keep things sekrit.

I see your point, and some things cannot be unseen no matter how meta. I'll try and come up with a good way to allow for that, while keeping the excessive majority of interactions on-board.

Thanks, m8.

>in game
Tracy is sitting idly at banquet table, as patient as a neutral Evil pony can behave. She dangles her hooves above the ground (hoo-man sized chairs?) as she sizes up the locals;in the while, wondering how her eggs are faring without her.
How's the company? Have any other important-looking figures showed up?

Are the characters still outside? That'll determine whever or not she's transformed.
Also, how many guards are there around? Do they seem readily aggro, or are they just frightened?

Thez turns back to Torcuil. "Please help yourself, there's more in the mess area. Also,... don't go in the vault," she smiles, before heading off toward the infirmary, her body language showing the slightest hint of peeve.

Thez arrives in the infirmary, and crosses her arms in front of her. "LOOK here, I know you're excited and all," she blushes and looks away a bit, "I certainly am," then back to direct glaring, "But don't think for an INSTANT that you can just wag your finger and have me whooof to the spot!"
