Well how about that,... air pirates. And they call their ship a derivative of "Cunt" too. I wonder if there's a connection, GM says dryly.
This leg of the game has the players either onboard or somewhere in the vicinity of the 'random' pirate airship that has taken to firing upon Trump Tower, as well as several of the characters. Unfortunately, a spell-caster onboard has placed a spell of Peace on the ship, and now there's a shimmering wall of force surrounding the captain.
Thez is hovering about 45deg from the front, ready to attack. Lenos is preparing for a Meteor Swarm, Infernius is speeding toward the ship, and Torcuil said "Fuck the Bullshit" and just teleported to it.
Trump wants to engage in diplomacy, but he rolled a 1 so he has to wait, and Tracy can't stab at ALL, which is an entirely new sensation for her.

The below-deck is the 'captain's quarters', except converted into a bunk area for several dozen. The below-deck is about 1000sq ft with a loading bay in the front, with a transparent (and removable) membrane keeping wind and elements out of the below-deck. In the middle is the kitchen, which has a small chute connecting the kitchen to the bar area. Also, there's a jaccuzi toward the back.

There's about 30 shots stacked in a hopper below-decks, meaning 3 full volleys and a single burst from the fore-cannons.

Way different. More technologically advanced and precise in their construction, in addition to being flame-less and entirely mechanical in their operation.

So, is there a Use Magick Device DC for anything else on the ship?
I can't remember how many ranks I put into Tracy's skill, but I think I maxed it out because I wanted her to be able to use scrolls.

I can't find the sheet atm, but I'll just say she put 10 ranks into it for the sakje of using her Detect Magick wand right now.
Rolling to use Wand to check what parts of the ship are magical and/or warded, for the sake of clarity.

There's no traps, and the magic of the ship is largely centered around and emanating from the Flying Stone. There are traces running through the ship, but relating to some other function of the ship and not producing any effects.

If you fail your Use Magick Device DC when using a scroll spell that isn't on your list, is your scroll still used-up? I wan't to know, because the DC's for casting Greater Planar Ally or Greater Planar Binding from scrolls would be at 28.

Yes, the scroll is still consumed by a miss-cast.
>>42980
Its a flying stone. Its a stone that if you're not careful will fly away damaging a number of things along the way. Its not the source of the shield, and its not that the balloon (stone) is indestructable, its been layered over with a variety of protective materials, to prevent it from sustaining damage. Its almost like they thought compromising the vehicle's flight was an effective strategy that opponents might employ.

Actually, I just realized that that Summon Monster 1 wand wouldn't work unless Trumpaladin rolled 20 to activate it... Glad I realized that before he wanted to use it..

Sorry.. I mean, you can still keep the wand, Tracy already made herself another one (a summon monster I wand is dirt cheap to make).

Depends on the spell and caster level. 3rd level magic missile takes 3 days, 9th level takes 7 days. Also, wands cost experience to craft.

Minimal XP or caash/materials. Did I say 3-7 days for magic missile (true strike would be comparable)? That's just to make the wand. I missed the part about having to effectively cast the spell in question 50 times (once per charge). So, longer.

Its a brilliant idea though, making an otherwise tedious spell significantly more useful.
>>42997
1 standard action, meaning that a character could use the wand as an action and make a single strike with their weapon (waiving the 5' movement) in the same round.

Neat! Is there a minimum number of spells to place in a wand, or can it hold like 5? After the number of spells is spent, can the wand be "recharged" or must a new one be crafted?

A wand is just a storage device: it holds up to 50 spells.
Casting a spell from a wand is normally a standard action, unless the spell in question takes longer to cast.

According to the Wiki:
>Each wand has 50 charges when created, and each charge expended allows the user to use the wand’s spell one time. A wand that runs out of charges is just a stick.
Does that entail that it takes 50 days to create a wand, and that it can't be recharged thereafter?
