Hint for you, we are going to a place strait out of Arabian Nights, which means Middle eastern esk city with a giant Desert right-out side.Pcm979 wrote:Hrm. There's a lot of Rings of Protection and Cloaks of Resistance to choose from.
What I mean is, they've got +1 through +5, with drastically increasing cost.Mr Bean wrote:Hint for you, we are going to a place strait out of Arabian Nights, which means Middle eastern esk city with a giant Desert right-out side.Pcm979 wrote:Hrm.

Your likley not going to be running Ice Golem's anytime soon nor will you have to worry about Water dragons(Hopefuly) so things that have fire resistance=good.
I don't think he's decided how ramped up he wants to go. Keep in mind its defense VS offense. A high enchanement weapon means your going to be able to slice and dice(Or smash or crush) easier. While higher AC means your harder to hit.Pcm979 wrote:What I mean is, they've got +1 through +5, with drastically increasing cost.
Also IO, "Magical Axe" and "Magical Plate" is a bit vague. I can't find them.
Also keep in mind you have a few things that can't be hurt period(Or take ungodly amounts of damage to hurt otherwise) without magical weapons.Pcm979 wrote:Ah. I see.
*Peers at options*
Anything can be enchanted, You can have a +2 stick of throwing. Enchament in D&D is magic in nature and can take the form of anything from say making that stick lighter and easier to throw except when it hits something(Then its just as hard and heavy) Or it could be sharper or semi gudied so it automaticly tugs a swing towards the more vital areas.Pcm979 wrote:There's a magical waraxe?

Nitpick: Lycanthropes have DR 10/silver, so ordinary steel weapons still have to deal with the damage reduction even if they were magical. Lycanthropes used to be vulnerable to +1 but that was an edition or two ago.Mr Bean wrote:Your avarage werewolf for example needs at least a +1 magic weapon/silver to damage him(Otherwise he quickheals all that damage unless its over a certian amount)
For our werewolf example if you smack him around with a Dwarven Waraxe +1 its all good(Plus you get an extra free point of damage from the enchament)
But if you hit him up with the normal Waraxe then its just going to tickle him(Under a certian thereshold of damage for example droping a big old bolder on him will kill him despite the fact its not magic)
Who with the what now? DR 10 means they ignore the first tend points of damage got that but thats now regardless of if its slivar or not? So if I'm thumping on your avarage wereworlf with say a +1 Sword then I've still got 10 points to work through first? And if I have a +1 Silver Sword its the same?Raxmei wrote: Nitpick: Lycanthropes have DR 10/silver, so ordinary steel weapons still have to deal with the damage reduction even if they were magical.

On another note, I think I'll drop out of the game. I'm bad at keeping up with online games, I have nothing really special to contribute, and the group's big enough not to miss me.

Heck it could even dig in some more after you've struck.
All those things are generalised under the heading of "enchanted" and that all enchanted weapons can get around damage reduction(Some monsters/beats ignore the first X amount of damage delt to them unless its an "enchanted" weapon inwhich case damage is delt normaly)
DR 10/silver means damage reduced by 10 except by silver. The +1 doesn't ignore it, but silver does.Mr Bean wrote:Who with the what now?

When you click on an item in the shop you'll get a small window saying 'Buy item' and 'buy masterwork/enchanted item'. then you'll be able to get a special weapon together (like my Adamantine Rapier, De Crab)Pcm979 wrote:So how do I account for that with this redblade whatsit?

An enchanted Dwarven Waraxe costs 330 gp plus the price of the enchantment.
There's a list of special abilities. If you want one of those you have to get at least a +1 enchantment first. Don't go crazy with all the enchantments, they add up real fast.
Magic armors and shields are enchanted in a similar manner.

Oooh, nifty, except...

Be strong. The cost of a fully whacked weapon is obscene. Very obscene (What? a Vorpal two bladed sword made from Adamantine with a +5 weapon bonus is 203400 gold? Are you insane!?)Pcm979 wrote:Oooh, nifty, except... Every time I work something out there's more! *Stares at enhancement list, eyes bugging out*
)Hrm. If you're gonna be a tank type, you should make sure to get your shield/armor imbued with the foritication ability to negate those criticals (and nasty sneak attack damage). Another good thing for tanks is wrathful healing on weapons, and some sort of displacement ability.Imperial Overlord wrote:Yes, it is high. Sword and board style is based on going high AC/high hp and taking everythng the opponents can dish out. Your Con is your highest stat and you rolled well. You'll need every point. 3.0/3.5 dishes out more damage than previous editions. One crit from a Fire Giant and you will be in a world of hurt.
