We don't have it yet, so we can't decide yet what optional rules we'll use, but we will for sure allow the subclasses.

No problem.  I was looking at the Throwing Weapons Fighting Style.

That's excellent news! I was planning Eithan to be a Divination Wizard, but Order of Scribes looks like too much fun to pass up. :)

Here's a thread index I put together if you wanted to use it. The <a href> RuBB codes only work if posted by a GM though ;)

Thread Index

Wow! I hope that didn't take you too much time, ha ha :)

Well done, though! I'm sure the GMs will be grateful for your help :)

Nice work Victor. I see the Narrator took this and posted it. Something weird is going on though because all the links posted bring me to a "403 forbidden" page unfortunately. I'm no wiz at this stuff so maybe somebody else knows what's going on there.

Edit: Maybe starting the link at "display" since it seems to double up the r.rpol.net bit

We are indeed. Thank you very much for your hard work we have already posted it and will be seeing if it makes things easier. (Which I'm sure it will)

Tested my theory. Cutting the links down to start at display and removing the quotation marks seemed to work for me. Hope that helps.

Yep that works!

Looks like they're all almost all working now.

Tidelan's Home and Fighting pit still goes to a 403. Adjusting it as all the others should do the trick.

Edit edit: Scratch that already taken care of.

They should all be working now. Thank you very much for your help too Wendel.

Question: Identifying magic items

Are we running the standard identification rules from the DMG? {tl;dr use Identify spell for speed and detecting cursed items or spend a short rest focusing on an item to determine it's properties, excepts potions. DMG 136}

Are we running the variant identification rules from the DMG? {tl;dr Identify or experimentation or both. DMG 136}

Or some other variation?

Sub Question: Knowing if an item is magic or mundane
Outside of objects that display obvious magical properties such as a flaming blade, do we need to use Detect Magic or other similar abilities to know if an item may be magical?
Are we doing Arcana rolls?
Some other variation?

Sidenote: If Identification/Detection is required I see a gap in the market for a new store/service for a talented ritual caster...

I’m sure Hexia could do it all

When it comes to home/shop construction, can you expand a home later for the same prices as having built more rooms originally? And I'm assuming it's okay to run a shop out of a room in a house...

Victor: Standard item identification rules. Technically, you can spend a short rest with an item you suspect is magical to identify its magical properties, if it has any, but detect magic will tell you straight off if any item you can see is magical.

Chelsie: Yes you may expand a building later for the same price, and you may run a shop out of your home, but the shop should ideally have its own dedicated room (though a crafter could sell out of the same room they work in.)

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 90):

Awesome, thank you! For buildings, do we just PM you, or is there a thread to do it in. I'll have a layout figured out shortly.

You're welcome. Put it in your original RTJ PM thread, please.

Is there any kind of listing of facilities/services that haven't been made by players or Hexia? I'm curious about the things that make up the town because I'm a sucker for world building.

This shows what there is, which is the shorter of the two lists.

When I scribe a scroll, does that scroll use my spellcasting ability modifier, spell attack, and save DC? Or are they based on the spell scroll statistics on DMG 200, where spell scrolls are considered as treasure?

Since the spell in question is currently cure wounds, it's the ability modifier that matters for me right now. Working backwards from the DMG table and assuming the minimum proficiency bonus necessary to cast each level of spell, I get these implied spellcasting ability modifiers:


At the moment, the question is rather academic, as my Cha modifier is the same +3 as the table implies. The only other noteworthy detail is on XGE 133, where it states that a cantrip scroll works as if the caster were first level (so only one damage die). That seems tangential to the ability modifier question.

....

It now occurs to me that I was assuming I could scribe a 1st level spell as a 1st level spell, but as a warlock, my slots are all 2nd level now. Can I even scribe cure wounds at 1st level, or do I have to scribe it at 2nd level? The XGE rules say "the character must have the spell prepared, or it must be among the character's known spells, in order to scribe a scroll of that spell." It doesn't say anything about slot level.

Use the stats from the DMG. You can create scrolls with levels lower than your spell slots if you wish.

Thank you for that!

I'm interested in your new ruleset for selling to NPCs in addition to PCs and wanted to know what requirements need to be met in order to qualify for running a business.

I'm assuming it requires at minimum a building as well as something to sell. Given Victor doesn't have any tool proficiencies for crafting I was wondering if he would be able to offer a service such as tattooing. What would this sort of setup cost to get going?

Eventually I'd look to have him skill up in a relevant tool using one of Hexia's scrolls of instant training if it would allow him to create the magical tattoos from Tasha's or even the gemstone tattoos from the Critical Role universe.

You have to own a building to operate out of, and have a skill or tool proficiency that could be used to provide goods or service people would want. Tattoos would require a tool proficiency, magical tattoos work like any other magical item, but we already have someone preparing to get a magical tattoo shop up and running.

Oh, who is setting up magical tattoos? I'll want to get a few :D

I suppose I'll have to wait until I can have Victor train in some sort of tool set then I guess, unless people will pay to have him intimidate them as a cure for hiccups :P
