Spellbreakers

I better get to cleaning my Greater Spellbreakers!
-
Well since I now have to figure out epic 10e since @halfgiant wants it at 20 like 3.5e…
-
I’m down with whenever you want to do Epic, makes no difference to me, 21, 25, 30… I’ll roll with it. Besides i think i have a work around anyway to grab Epic feats early.

/rumor has it we can use up to 5 spellbreakers per casting.

It is currently 5. I may lower it or raise it once you screw me with it a few times.

yep - but we STILL have to trench out that new Great Rift on the Moon to store all that manacite (as well as provide my shining buttock crevasse to the admiring worshippers below)
-
So I know last we left this discussion it was 5 spellbreakers minimum at one shot, and they cost 500gp / each. Nobody could make them at the time, but you could have them made for 500gp.
I’m feeling that we are now into Epic, and on the precipice of Tier 2 that Kargin should at the very least be able to make them upon our return from the Moon Temple of Alchemical Evil.
Thoughts?

here, let me translate that for ya Cloud…

Slanderous that is, I’m a hard-working Artificer trying to make his way in the Manaverse, having to risk life and limb in the Moon Temple of Alchemical Evil w/ Dregnoth no less. And these hurtful accusations are being catapulted upon my honor and good intentions.

Ohh shouldn’t an Ancient be able to make a spellbreaker for 50gp?
Infinite scalability baby!

Good thing you don’t have 50GP

Good thing you don’t have 50GP
That hurts because it’s sooo true.

So i was unfortunately unable to find any definitive ruling on wether a spellbreaker(s) can be used with a spell trigger activation device like a wand or a staff. And we all know if its not in the forums it doesn’t exist.
Much like metamagic feats, an Artificer can apply metamagic feats to spell triggered activation items (generally wands / staffs), can he apply spellbreakers to the same item types.
For Reference:
Spell Trigger
Spell trigger activation is similar to spell completion, but it’s even simpler. No gestures or spell finishing is needed, just a special knowledge of spellcasting that an appropriate character would know, and a single word that must be spoken. Anyone with a spell on his or her spell list knows how to use a spell trigger item that stores that spell. (This is the case even for a character who can’t actually cast spells, such as a 3rd-level paladin.) The user must still determine what spell is stored in the item before she can activate it. Activating a spell trigger item is a standard action and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.Activation
Wands use the spell trigger activation method, so casting a spell from a wand is usually a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. (If the spell being cast, however, has a longer casting time than 1 standard action, it takes that long to cast the spell from a wand.) To activate a wand, a character must hold it in hand (or whatever passes for a hand, for nonhumanoid creatures) and point it in the general direction of the target or area. A wand may be used while grappling or while swallowed whole.Thoughts?

The answer is no. Spell breakers break the logic of the spell being cast. This is why Mystra hated them so much before she mathed it out regarding about the power in versus out.

poured 30 spell points
Also, as a reminder, spell breakers only contain 30 SP worth of power. If you do something that will need more than that, it will fail to break the spell but be used up anyway.

Well at least in part, isn’t that one of the reasons why we can use a minimum of 5 spellbreakers at once?

Discussion points:
Can a spell breaker emulate a feat
Can a spell breaker break a spell from fixed range to a variable range.
