Re: Renamed! Bloodstone Lands: OOC
Thamol,
I saw the comment about knowstones in OOC forum, and mentioned it's similar to Runestaffs (from MIC). Now, every runestaff in that book is too expensive (Cheapest is about 8000), but I found that there's a rule to create a custom runestaff. Maybe you might be interested in that.
The way runestaff works is roughly, follows.
First, you must attune to 1 runestaff. This is done when you do the '15 minute concentration ritual after 8 hours of rest'. You can only use that particular runestaff, until you reattune to another runestaff. When you reattune to another runestaff, your previous attunement with the original runestaff is broken. Basically, you can only have 1 particular runestaff ready at any moment.
Then, 3 times a day (for each spell) you can cast the spells from runestaff, like you are casting (Using your own charisma bonus for save DC, using your own caster level, etcs) by sacrificing the spell slot for the day, of the same spell level or higher as the spell you are casting. The spell in question must be in your spell list (Meaning, if it's Bard-only spell, you can't use it as a sorcerer)
For example, let's say you have a 'Runestaff of change size', where the spells contained in the runestaff is Enlarge Person and Reduce Person. By sacrificing one of your spell slot (level 1 or higher), you can cast the enlarge person. You can do that 3 times, and you can do the same for Reduce Person, 3 times the day.
The runestaff must contain 2-5 spells, and the cost of the spellstaff is (highest level spell)^2*400 + sum((all other spell levels)^2*200).
So, for example, if the rune staff has 1 level 2 spell, and 2 level 1 spells, it will be 1600 + 200 + 200 = 2000.
Since you can only cast level 1 spells at the moment, level 2 spells are useless, so you might not want to waste money on level 2 spells...
If the runestaff contains less than 5 spells, I'll let you upgrade'em later. Of course, this assume that I'm the DM here still when you want that to happen. If I leave, it'll be entirely up to the next DM.
