Now going with level 6 and 14000 gp to start. If you guys want to begin once we get a third player, that would be swell.

So it's a total of 24000 gp to use for buying goods and magic items on top of 10000 gp to use for multiple magic items, assuming they are slotted. You can even make up your own, obviously no limitations on which ones come from where. Just let me know where the magic items come for in the in-game context (I purchased them at Zooflet's in Aryatown or MacMillan's in Baden's Bluff) or you can craft them yourself. The item's magic power is raw and doesn't drain the energy of the gods, only augments it. There will be power nexuses in the region in which you can dip the magic items into sacred pools to augment them with magical force. Don't be afraid to add in some Dionysus on the knee or Achilles in the pool for inspirational anecdotes about the magic items. Point buy is 80 points in total, 17 or 18 requiring an extra +4. For instance, all 12s would be 72 points, all 13s would be 75 points, negatives add 6 beyond the threshold of 10. Since this system is also confusing, you can do 5d6 minus the lowest 2 dice. Gear gets broken over time and must be repaired with experience, using a craft system that draws its power from the fragments of light sources, meaning certain races have the ability to see magic more strongly, hence why they're rarer than humans.

Scrolls are harvested from druids doing Speak to Plants in the environs of the city. The beginning of the campaign will feature the goings-on in the city of Baden's Bluff, and this is a human-dominated city since as I said there is a strong human leaning in the works. Rumors about half-men are part of the folklore that sits alongside this city's myths about windigos in the mountains situated just to the south. Trade barges often cross the Sea of Pelluria to find Whitehelm on the other side, and the trade is currently in a bit of a recession. The waters of the "lake" are some of the deepest known to man and it sits on the heels of some god or other's passage over Erethor. Despite the rumors there is some truth to the idea hat creatures blended with man, but this is a distant idea in the general milieu.

So scroll-wise the writing is in Abyssian in this region and can be used by immolating them or using somatic gestures with the other hand to allow the scroll to be tied to power nexuses. Scrolls can be swapped on a case-by-case basis with other items from your pouch as a free action.

OK now there are two of us I'm going to have a play with the magic items

I don't know what this is about at all, although it sounds cool and interesting

So I have cash. I buy items. What do I do then. What is this 'Dionysus on the knee' and what is this 'point buy' for? What am I buying points for

Let's take the example of a +1 keen rapier as a starting item. What would I do with it?

Thanks lots!

I've got some questions, too;

  • If scrolls come from druids, what happens to wizards and scribe scroll?
  • Are there any special rules for crafting?
  • What rules are in effect for a wizard adding spells to their spellbook pre-adventure? Can we assume to have learned spells from friendly wizards or captured books, etc.?
  • How to we calculate HP?
  • Are there any other rules in play we should know about (i.e. Hero points, Feat Tax...)?
