Subject: Magic items . . . Author: Balaern [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:32:43 06/03/03 Tue I wanted to add scroll-making to the mix. I think this should be a better way of balancing out the magic-user classes in NWN. This, along with alchemy, probably will be the easier ways of creating magic items in Duath. Scrolls may be created if the player has a manual that instructs them in the art. The spellcaster then uses some special ink and parchment (or vellum, which add +2 to the spellcraft check) to copy down the spell. A dex check is made at DC 10 to see if there were obvious mistakes; failure ruins the project. Then the spell which you wish to create is then cast, and a spellcraft check is then made at DC 10 + spell level. Success means you have created the scoll. The parchment and ink are destroyed and the PC looses 50 x level of the spell in XP. Failure ruins the project. Rolling a one is a catastrophic failure, which will result in another die roll. Roll a die 10. 1. –1 chr 2. –2 chr 3. –1 con 4. –1 int 5. – 2 int 6. – 1 wis 7. –1 dex 8. loss of an additional 100 xp per spell level 9. loss of an additional 200 xp per spell level 10. something really bad happens at the DM’s discretion. Probably not death, might be as bad as some spell-like effect being placed on you, alignment change, mild insanity, sprouting horns, the attention of some supernatural being . . . This of course will depend on the scoll which was being attempted. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
