@dwarf Well that was depressing, i had hoped over time maybe 5e would have had enough power creep to become interesting. Similar to 3.0E in the day, after a few years some of their later products started producing some interesting ideas.

With that said, the 3.5E metamagic rods i never really found interesting or thematically liked. Just seemed lame, and Kargin did investigate what he called meta crystals that you could embed in wands, rods, and staffs. However shortly after that @dwarf brought up the concepts of lens’s and amp’s … and we just ran with that. Kargin also flirted with psicrystals, i do believe he has some prototypes specific for melee types, and some specific for caster types. There was a lot of interest but it typically fades fairly quickly because in order for them to work they need to be implanted into their spine or at the base of their skulls to hide the crystal, while others implant the crystal shard in their forehead, forming a mythical “third eye.” Some warriors tend to have them implanted into the hand or chest, often sporting custom-made armor to show off the crystal to their enemies. To implant and integrate the crystals into the various systems of the body (i.e. nervous, immune, etc…) requires the skills of an alchemist… and that is where Kargin loses them.

Back to the drawing board.

@Immeral Ok, need a little bit more data -

Do you own a monk belt, or monk robe?

What level are you?

Whats your modified Strength, and Strength Mod?

@halfgiant said in Ohm Gems and other Gem Magics:

Rechargeable (Big Ohm - Heal) - 6 spell points per refill, Cost: 5000gp
Regenable (Big Ohm - Heal) - 2 spell points per refill, Cost: 25,000gp

So what are the costs (gp’s) for the following? Costs for both Market, and costs for an Ancient to make.

twinned regennable big ohms (1000 hp max, 10th lvl efx, 4 pp to refill)
magnified 2x twinned regennable (2000 hp max, 16th lvl, 6 pp to refill)
magnified 3x twinned regennable (3000 hp max, 22nd lvl, 8 pp to refill)
magnified 4x twinned regennable (4000 hp max, 28th lvl, 10 pp to refill)
magnified 5x twinned regennable (5000 hp max, 34th lvl, 12 pp to refill)

I am not sure if I am remembering wrong or not, but I think we said we can’t make our own regennable’s until becoming an Ancient; we were limited to having the Obelisk making them for us at the going rate.

Treasure from the January 8, 2020 - Swimming in Acid Session, Black Dragon

@daermadm Still needs to generate this list.

‘X’ Weapons

@dwarf I know you explained it once many moons ago, but i don’t remember how the x2,x3,x4,x5 weapons were created? Remember them being non-magical.

Still have that memory / file lurking about?

@halfgiant said in Combat Actions format:

we now have tapping a Big Ohm while in initiative as a swift action

Free Action.

Im gonna say no on spellbreakers for right now , as the adventure continues to move forth I will ad them in later but for this weekend no

just waiting to see what the shipping home cost is for Cloud’s new toy 😜

@halfgiant said in CabinCon V:

@daermadm Flipping thru my notes, did we get experience points for CabinCon? You may of said it and i didn’t write it down.

5,500 XP

and here we have the destroyer USS Preble, firing off lockheed’s shiny new HELIOS 😜 can’t wait to see a fleet of these deployed to Iran

okey dokey - so the remaining split breaks down as follows :

slaad and onaga only took 2 picks in the starting round, giving them 5 unused picks as the rest of us grabbed 7 items. the highest average value of the remaining high-value items (salted towards the highest value because we cherry-picked what we REALLY wanted/needed from the first draft) is approximately 8k… so they’re getting an extra 40k each out of the split

knocking 5% off the final retail to cover kargin’s overhead, that leaves us with a final divvy of each party member getting 370,101 gold from liquidating the party treasure (with slaad and onaga receiving 410,101 as their total)
(( oh, and i didn’t include selling the few healing potions in party inventory - too useful in a pinch ))

pending approval from cloud, in case i missed anything 😉 and spreadsheet attached, for those that wanna snag anything off it at 95% of retail (or in case you wanna check my maths) dregnothpartytreasure.ods

4/27/2025 8:49pm CT - Notes on refined manacite

For every 10,000 years of refined manacite is equal to 1 spell point per pound, a 20,000 1lb of refined manacite is 2 spell points per pound

a 10lb block of 20,000 year old manacite = 20 spell points, per round.

The radius found in the floating city had a 5 lb block 20k refined manacite floating a platform 5 miles in diameter.

@DarkWulf said in Onaga Character [Notes]:

probably more like what Tiamat herself can do,

Taimat is a goddess. Mortal rules don’t apply.

@dwarf said in Tier II:

what you’re describing sounds more like a BattleDwarf - those you can change and mutate to your hearts content

BattleDwarf, now that sounds like a pretty good idea for Tier 2 - 10E Dwarven Fighter.

@daermadm said in Elemental Forge:

Mortal
a. Normal
b. Epic
Divine
a. Demi
b. Lesser
c. Intermediate
d. Greater
Clockmaker
DM

Somewhere in this mix, there are floating around the space between Mortal and Divine you have the heroes and chosen examples like Rasingra, and Elisha.

Additionally, there was the divine servants of the Gods such as Deva’s, Planetars, and Solars - can’t remember if there was another one in the mix there or not.

Damar was a Plaentar for a great number of years before being invited to the forge of eternities, and eventually tricked mmm maybe more duped when Rorex and Damien decided to abscond all the beer and head to the Forge of Eternities themselves making Damar a Greater Forge God of the Dwarves. And then there is ole Ralax, who happily serves Istus the Greater Goddess of Fate, while chauffering around a dagger of power and its plinth.

@halfgiant well probably because you called it the Man-averse and not the People-averse …other wise should be good lol
