NPC wizard friend from Rock, 12th level (involved in building ring)



Spell book for an MU, Level: 12, Intelligence: 18
[Note: generates especially crummy spells, using as 'framework' only - doesn't even give Detect Magic for free]
e.g. - can have to level from 5th to 7th with zero offensive spells.


 1:
     DETECT MAGIC
     Feather Fall
     Mending
     Read Magic
     Sleep
     Tenser's Floating Disc
     Unseen Servant
     ENLARGE/REDUCE  [at worst could use a scroll - 300 GP]
     MAGIC MISSILE

 2:  Audible Glamer
     Detect Invisibility
     ESP
     Knock
     INVISIBILITY
 3:  Feign Death
     Tongues
     LIGHTNING BOLT

 4:  Hallucinatory Terrain
     Ice Storm
     Monster Summoning II
     Polymorph Self
 5:  Bigby's Interposing Hand
     TELEPORT
     Magic Jar
     Passwall
     Transmute Rock to Mud
 6:  Globe of Invulnerability
     Monster Summoning IV
     Otiluke's Freezing Sphere
     REINCARNATE
     ENCHANT ITEM

Fundamentally - adventuring about risk/reward.
Ratios can be way off in some cases:

Rewards:
-game system conversions: chance of death in exchange for bonus that is down-graded in conversion i.e. stat boosts
-things you already have
-things that can be converted more positively or apply unexpected benefit (Y/N questions)

On the flip side, risks can also be a problem
-characters harder to generate, so less disposable
-loss of planar travel power etc.
-at best, can mitigate risks using powers in unforseen ways, and thus get benefits without actual risk. Can cancel out: you eliminate risk and then receive for free a power that's not useful [+7 all stats].

Escaping
BLADEBOOTS:
Captured thieves are typically stripped of their weapons, but not of
their shoes. If a thief has a shoe for a weapon, odds for escape improve significantly. Solid
leather construction, a broad steel blade, and a heel-click trigger mechanism add kick to any escape.

Character growth:
New hat of difference?
Improved buckler defense - any equivalent 2E 'feat' ? - could feasibly invent this as a thing.

3P reference

19:09, Sat 13 Jan: Garek rolled 69,90 using d100,d100.  more mental mutations.

19:07, Sat 13 Jan: Garek rolled 54,65,98 using d100,d100,d100.  physical, 2 mental.

19:07, Sat 13 Jan: Garek rolled 1,2 using d4,d4.  physical, mental.

19:06, Sat 13 Jan: Garek rolled 4 using 1d25.  hit dice.

One thing we're starting to notice: the party has (one way or another) by necessity sunk a lot of power into communication and travel abilities (e.g. psionics). Detracting from combat abilities ?

Tactics:
"is this likely to be beneficial overall" - could be way to word YN questions over ingesting weird substances.

Magical Clay (Alscen) - 21G - costs 25 GP
1 [01-16] [16%] - divides into two pieces
2 [17-33] [17%] - gold statue of yourself, 50 gp
3 [34-50] [17%] - scimitar with +30 adds
4 [51-67] [17%] - contact poison, -3 STR/DEX (no effect if immune poison)
5 [68-84] [17%] - turns into a salve curing any disease once
6 [85-00] [16%] - storm bird, 1 hit if immune to poison

After applying luckstone modifiers (if want salve):
01-26 roll twice
27-43 gold statue
44-57 scimitar
58-94 salve
96-00 storm bird

Learnings:
ideally, want fireproof bag of holding
fire immunity is much better than fire resistance (buy some)
need to replace - Heal scroll.
need more DEX
magic armour ?

Sage - Carlisle - 3000 XP/ 2nd level


SenZar item [Seduction +5 mods; 5000 GP]

50,000 GP would get +5 armour (x10)
50,000 would also get stat boost potion - one physical up to 15.
Potential to get wizard with meh Con to use Enhance, in exchange getting potion (which fixes that and then some). They would need to know Enhance.

Upgrade process to-do list:
Buying stuff:
-unlimited 'Revelation' item ?? - would be really useful.
-poison gas
-Omniflex ? - problem of fixing Garek's current Int :(
-pool of greatness ? - still allergy problem.

-award XP.


-recharge Y/N questions
-see if can get Ring of Cat Control off Torvil ??


Selling stuff:
-suits of full plate: about 250 gp each
-extra flying carpet - could get 100K on Palladium world, potentially ? - may not be equivalent quality (only 10,000 GP in Arduin). In part can also be more readily available ingredients or better techniques.

-fix +1 broadsword ?? [steal enchantment from pieces]? - say up to 1500 GP neg. ?? - Kelarn
- Remove curse from spellbook
-poison gas on itchies box


***General "Upgrade" stuff - continuing ?

Post Citadel of Thunder:
Total issues found: need
-protection from energy drain
-faster reloading on Nevermiss
-able to deal with traps TRIGGERED BY detect magic
-detecting undead in general
-able to use psionicist class & true seeing helm at same time

Other
-invulnerability potion super useful vs battlebones ? - replace
-or, Bone Walker and wings
