I'll take the Staff of Power off of the 'sell' list as you're taking that one.

Clearly, it's just not enough. ;)

Seriously, I stayed away from the Vorpal sword because I figured the fighters would take them. That said, I see the appeal of a Frost Brand in hell. Or Holy Avengers for the paladins.

If no one has a Vorpal sword, I'll definitely try to afford one. We can say it was forged by Hattori Hanzō.

I've changed my paladin for a mage, still a work in progress.
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Yeah I might as well take it since I have one on my sheet now just say it was this one. :)

Thanks Zhym, I'll update the sheet later!


Raven & Greywolf (& Zhym) Well I certainly think the Amulet is pretty cool.....ESPECIALLY if my character actually knows how to use it and the Plane you get transported too isn't random. :)

As for the Cleric Scrolls, the reason I asked was that say we get a Raise Dead spell and a Heal Spell; if there are on two different pieces of Parchment, Xale could keep one and the other Cleric could keep the other....sorry if that wasn't clear.

Also, I'm happy to take those other two Potions of Healing if no one is going to claim them....I was thinking a 3 way split; 2 potions each.

Finally, I would LOVE the Vorpal Sword, but unfortunately as a Cleric/Fighter I have to use Blunt Weapons :( If I was playing a Fighter type or even a Thief, HELL YES I would want it!

....and Zhym already beat me to the punch for the MU scrolls Greywolf.....if they are of spells you don't already know, you can use them to add spells to your spell book.

Gotta run again....stupid work.....:)

I was looking forward to Hallagad and Chancalot.

Ok. Vorpal sword it is. :D

Here's the math for my PC's magic items:

Vorpal sword: 10,000xp
Ring of Elemental Command: Air: 5000xp
Ring of Regeneration: 5000xp
Cloak of Protection +5: 5000xp
Additional DM assigned items: TBD (hopefully something that raises his charisma a few points!)

Zhym, my sheet is ready for your review. Thanks.

You can call that a Vorpal Katana if you want.

Man, I'm going to have to devise special ways to kill the invisible unhittable regenerating monk, aren't I?

I think My character is ready for review once I see what those rolls produce for the other items my robe contains. Other than that Just some minor basic equipment adjustments and maybe adjustments to magic items as directed.

GreyWolfVT, here's what's on your robe of useful items:

Silver coffer (500 gp value)
Iron door (3)
Ladder
Mule
Pit
Potion of Extra Healing (3)
Rowboat (2)
Window (2)

I think I have all my other rolls taken care of in PMs. Scott308, we need to get your spells worked out. Is there anything else on my side anyone is waiting on?

Do we know that we are going to hell, and should we expend our magic item allotment for items that will assist us in our journey? Or, do we have a benefactor that will provide us with aid?

You should select items as if you do not know you are going to Hell, though I won't get too picky about items that would just happen to be useful should you end up there.

As for whether someone will provide aid, you'll have to wait for the game to start to find that out. :)

For Malibran's equipment, does this comply with what you're looking for?

ITEM XP
Ring of 4 wishes (from ToH) - 3000
Gauntlet of Ogre Power - 1000
Potion of Extra Healing (4) - 1600
Ring of Protection +4/+2 - 4000
Rod of Resurrection - 10000
Mace +4 - 1500
cloak of displacement - 3000
shield +3 - 800

TOTAL XP - 24900

Cost in gold of these items is (114k) within Malibran's third from the ToH loot (I removed the staff of power, vorpal sword, and MU scrolls from the list above). Total per third is now 122k.
