yea, that's to keep magic items from being just another sort of currency.
you can go over that a little (no more than 10k) with DM approval of items obtained, of course.
BoG'r OOC.
that basically means when i would make an brand new item and try to sell it, i get only the making price for it (50%)? but when an npc makes it, you pay full price(100%)? wtf? thats hubrish
Well you could always see what the other githyanki have for items and make a trade. Azure said that is how githyanki do things anyways.
Thats what i was intending, in addition to the town proper itself... Though that doesn't change the stupid system the books refer to... the moment you make a brand new item, its worth half its new value? nah, no thnx.
What items were you looking for?
+4 circlet of wisdom(16,000),
Crystal mask of Dread (+10 intimidate, 10,000),
Wand of cure moderate wnds, (4, 500)
Wand of cure serious wnds, (11,250)
Strand of Prayer Beads, healing, (9,000)
Total: 50,750.
Deleted the Metamagic rods..
Is roughly what i am interested in, I don't expect to get it all, but if some are not allowed, it makes it easier for me to think on hwat others. Just a better overview so the DM knows what i am searching for, and he can think if its ok.
Good luck with that!
*cough*, edit previous post, just so Ya all know
Crystal Mask of Dread = Too specific. Sorry, sounds like an item not commonly available. So, no. Not here, at least.
Everything else sounds OK, but the circlet of wisdom might be hard to come by (i.e. I haven't made up my mind yet) since it sounds sort of priestly, and githyanki tend to melt priestly stuff down.

1 word: crap.... hmmz
That was the one I wanted most (the mask that is).
I think that kind of logic in this regard is very narrow, any WILL enhancing magic is straight away divine and priestly? then by your logic will a +dex be thief only? and a +cha sorcerer etc?.. just trying to understand your thinking pattern
Besides, aren't all healing rods always Divine?????( yes I know that bards could conceivably make them to, because they can cast healing and are arcane, but that's just rubbish .) what's then the discrepancy?
What about Metamagic rods? Greater Silence and Greater Extend
24.500 each, will they be available? that is, if the wisdom enhancing does not come through.
Hmmmm.....
Yea, you asked about the mask before. So ... OK!
As for the circlet ... You're right Will isn't automaticly divine. You can find a githyanki-made one, which will be a psionic item. BTW, I think mask and circlet would be incompatible items. They seem to be worn in the same space. Correct me if I'm wrong.

hehe, anyway, ehm...
page 218 magic item compendium, body slots:
Face: goggles, lenses, masks, spectacles, third eyes,
Head: circlets, crowns, hats, headbands, helmets, phylacteries
you want the whole definition-list?
the wisdom bonus being a psionic version does not make any difference game mechanical wise, does it?, it sounds ok to me to be psionic, flavor fits the yanki race better...
I'm not sure where Ya'shenn is in terms of jink/treasure. She would like a few things, though -- mostly for use with Telekinetic Thrust.
Examples -- some masterwork/+1/+2 daggers, masterwork crossbow bolts, alchemist's fire, maybe something similar to the psi-grenades as well.
Does the party still have any of the gold/platinum/etc from the safe that Gy-Nath disintegrated?

Yes ,
the party pot is consisting of:
-10.000 gold
-Golden Lion Shield +2 large steel shield, + special attack.(worth 9.170)
(to be divided by Ya'shenn, Ii'Jyka and Ar'dru, as this is all from the Vault.)
Although I seemingly have more gold, several of the items I want to have are meant for "party use", that should balance overall.
I actually have the idea of buying with the additional money from the party pot a extra Strand of Prayer Beads, healing, 1x a day cure serious wnds, cure disease or cure blind/ deafness caster lvl 5th (9,000) instead of the Wand of cure moderate wounds,
The added flexibility it gives compared to the simple straightforward healing is immensely useful imo when you think about the fact that we don't have a single classed cleric in our group.
+4 circlet of wisdom(16,000),
Crystal mask of Dread (+10 intimidate, 10,000),
Wand of cure serious wnds, (11,250)
2x Strand of Prayer Beads, healing, (9,000)
Total:55,250
50,320 for the weapon, +5,000 from my share of PP, leaves me roughly 1300 gold
(19,170: 3= 6,390)
... double post
happy holidays to you all, although I don't do them
Things Ya'shenn would like to get:
Alchemist's fire (x5?), 100 gp
Tanglefoot bag (x2), 100 gp
Thunderstone (x5), 150 gp
Up to 6 daggers, either masterwork (1812 gp) or +1 (12012 gp...ouch)
(Ya'shenn already has 3 +1 daggers from the Sensate illithid's weapon collection, plus the dagger of her Order)
20 masterwork light crossbow bolts (140 gp)
Also known as: Fun with the Telekinetic Thrust psionic power.
I'm not sure how much alchemist's fire Ya'shenn should carry around, as she's not fire immune, and I imagine being fireballed while carrying alchemist's fire might not be a good idea.
There's an item called a Psionatrix of Psychokinesis. If I'm reading the item description correctly, this would raise her effective attack bonus (when using telekinetic thrust) by +1, if the item in question is non-magical and non-masterwork. (2,000 gp.) It has to be created by a TK specialist.

double post again, this is getting on my nerves, this system is..
If I had anyting "spare" I would gladly give to Ya'shenn, but my missile weapon I cannot drop, and the add. sword is to fun for me.. (abyssal red longsword)
I could do 4 +1 daggers in exchange for one of the Strands of healing beads...and have 1000 extra spare, hmmz
Why daggers and bolts? don't bolts break when used after "shooting"?
And if you decide to accept this, i want ingame you play surprised, hehe, lol, as this will be a gift...
Is the 10,000 gold + lion shield not to be shared among party members?
It's more practical to carry around 9 daggers than 9 longswords. (With telekinetic thrust, Ya'shenn can use up to 9 projectiles per round, remember.)
The psionatrix would probably result in higher attack bonus overall across all weapons.
How about...
Psionatrix (2,000 gp)
The alchemical stuff (350 gp or so)
6 masterwork daggers (1812 gp)
Non-masterwork bolts would probably work. (Why bolts? Mainly because there are only so many projectiles one can carry at once, and bolt cases are comparatively small.)

Ok about the bolts.. was just wondering.
And about the party pot: not all characters atm accounted for were part of our group when we found that treasure (I am sorry, but being L.E or some-such means Ii will not share treasure found with Bladedancer's character from before he became part of "the group")
Ah, but Ya'shenn was present when we found that treasure.

Correct , so no probs there
I do have to comment that, although Ii seems at first glance (and indirectly because of that myself) a tad greedy by taking several weapons of decent value, and she might be, but then again, if she would in game see Ya'shenn linger over a allotment of +1 daggers, she would probably think it nice to present her with a gift she has not asked for...
Heh I was not expecting a share of your loot so no problem there. Plus a very Githy Holidays to you all.
Thats cool
Funny thing is, when I see Azure come on-line here, I am jumping in my seat like a little kid, hoping he will post something cool, but then he silently sneaks off-line again without posting and I always feel frustrated
hmmz...
That, and I am surprised Zimmy did not reply to my offer yet.
She has even been online after i posted all this
i'll try not to make you too sad, BS. I slip off again because inspiration hasn't come yet.
No worries dude, btw, I'll PM you some add. ideas soon..
[DM - due to the masts and lines, the wyvern can't really land on the ship. He could cling to the stern, in order to pick up or drop off passengers.]
[DM also making post ex facto change. The wyvern's saddle is actually built for 2. Rider and bowman. The bowman had already been shot off when Ii and Du'minh jumped on the wyvern. So, taking a passenger is no problem, and if Ii wants to instead carry some gear on the wyvern, there's space to stow it.]
Hah, that description made me laugh, was nice...
And cool about the saddle.
@ Azure: PM and Email send, happy reading.

Now lets get to that magic bazaar
Is Kirath's mindlink still up with Ya'shenn?
seeing the distance, Ya'shenn should probably have to initiate a new one, or not?
Actually, it wasn't the distance that was a factor, but the duration of 10 min per lvl
But, if your within 45 feet, (taking into account that Ya'shenn is lvl 8? psion..) she could link again..
(sorry, was bored and read up on mindlink .)
Merry Christmas!

I know of this heathen demi-god called San'ti Claws. His power will be ours! Then it is WE who will see all the barbarians, be they sleeping or awake!
I don't believe in Santa, i have more respect for the original, Saint Nicholaas
I rather like the aspect of Odin, myself.
I understand your digging in Wikipedia instead of writing our story?
Actually, no, not wiki. I'm a geek. I'm interested in mythology. I'm also germanic, so I know Norse.
EDIT
Big idea! This adventure may, toward the end, embroil you in the politics of the multi-planar empire of the githyanki, and how it sustains itself on the former Incursion worlds. I used FR for my Incursion and this adventure because it is well detailed and everyone has a map (and many of you sourcebooks which I DON'T).
But anyway, after this adventure chapter, you could eventually go to an original-design world. One of DM, or even PLAYER design.
Bigger background for BoG'r:
There were nine true Incursions, along with a few smaller raids and diversions. Only a very few githyanki would have known of them all, and even the greatest generals only might have known of two or three beyond his own. The true reason for the Incursion is also not common knowledge among githyanki, though the PCs are all privy to it.
PC Knowledge:
Ya'shenn served as a pilot/scout/coordinator/interrogator on Savim, a world where the graith races were being conquored by illithid and by various other aberation races. Many graith nations were ruled by demonic cults or oppressive monarchies puppeted by illithid. Thus the general populous began to greet the githyanki as their saviors. The githyanki were far from saviors, but they shrewdly used the tide of uprising, and even worked well on occasion together with the barbarians.
Ii'jyka'vaar served here on Toril, but left very early on.
I forgot (if Az told me ) where Ar'dru served.
The PCs know that Gith's Sword was found, and that it the apparent cause of the return of Gith as Ar-Gish. *Certain* PCs know the Lich Queen was also looking for Gith's Dagger and Gith's Tiara. DM Note: "Tiara" is a cool word, and I can invision several forms of jewelry which could conceivably become known as a "Tiara" in lore.
I am germanic to, and I am 50% Netherlander and 50% German.... what part germanic are you?
With "ally" is it allowed to presume the 2 captains mean Panterra and her ship?
Or would that need a successful sense motive check?
Which I don't have any ranks in, and after actually thinking about that, its very sloppy I don't have that skill, specially for a information gatherer... believing what your told is not good, gullible is a bad trait then
Gullible, or simply untrusting and overly-critical as a character flaw. It actually makes sense that as a sociopath, Ii has trouble with empathy and therefore with reading people.
But anyway, it was obvious enough that Ii knew they were talking about Panterra.
My father is central-german/english/native-american/who-knows-what mutt.
It was Saev, wasn't it? Is it Savim now?
I believe Ar'dru served on the same world, actually, though in a different capacity.

Good question. If not, Ya'shenn will go physically to get the Git'ribani, Kirath, etc., if necessary.

Thats cool, i am trying to find useful stuff with a max price of 24.000, coz the other 2 items are 10k and 16k
equalling the axe for 50k, would that be ok?
Or as i remind myself, you have that same silly notion as WOTC seems to have that selling magical items can only be done at 50% and buying is always at least 100%?
