Hmm... puts Jason up, too; also Derrel; possibly Elorin, depending on how much was spent crafting. New spell level... hmm....

Also, how did everyone enjoy the session, plot, et cetera?

Speaking of Archmage, it's a Prestige Class - can't go into it without first getting to teh Archmage Acadamy.... although you can hold off your level up until then, if you like.

I still need 3682 to level up.

Hmm, does the Monk's Belt give just the level based AC bonus, or the Wisdom to AC bonus? With my +8 wisdom bonus, that would be quite useful for me, though it would conflict with my Belt of Giant Strength +4. Since it would also stack with Bracers of Armor... too bad my Bracers of Archery take up the same slot.

Personally, I loved this session. One big intense fight with tons of plot http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Of course, it's probably harder on the GM to keep coming up with plots.

I guess I'll hold off on my levelup until I can get to the Academy thing... oh, at XL 15, wizards get a bonus feat... I wouldn't get that if I levelled in Archmage, would I?

How many bonus level 8 spells per day would I get as a result of intelligence? I can't seem to find a mention of it.

Edit: seeing as we're already on loot division, I'd like to apply for the spellcasting ioun stone...

No, you wouldn't. You get more spells per day and spells known, but no other class features of a Wizard.

The table is here. To derive it without a table, your intelligence bonus is the same number as the highest spell level you get a bonus spell slot for. For the top four levels that get bonus spell slots, you get one at each level. Two bonus spell slots for the next four levels down, three for the next four, etc. Bonus spell slots above level 9 are ignored except for some deities and epic casters with the Improved Spell Capacity epic feat.

It would help me too, but not as much as you, I think.

Jason hitting 10th... not much useful in Necromancy (well, for Jason, anyway) at that level... Shadow, perhaps, having paid more attention to our adversaries tactics recently? Yes....
And with Shadow Conjouration, can swap out Fireball for... Magic Circle Against Evil. Bleh; rolled a 1 on HP; oh well, no matter, he hardly ever takes a hit anyway... update standard use list... there; Jason now ECL 15, Sorceror 10

Hmm... toss 'ya for it? Ought to have some way of deciding who should use it.

No, you can have it. You do nothing but cast spells, while I have this nifty bow.

Give AC as a monk of 5th level - both the +1 and the Wis to AC... but doesn't function with either armor or shield (as a monk's ac), although Bracers of Defense would be fine.

You would not get the wizardly bonus feat; you would, however, get an Archmage Special, and be allowed to take that Wiz-15 for the bonus feat next level with no problems

Jason could actually make better use of it - Caster Level 10, at the moment, vs. almost every other caster's 15.

Think we can con Kibin into wearing the ring? She'd get hands... and be able to wear all those nifties....

That's a good point... Jason's Fireballs weren't very effective in combat, even if he does normally use Colossal daggers. I wouldn't mind relinquishing the stone to him.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 
Oh, right, I'd have to get rid of the shield too. That severely reduces the Belt's usefulness to me, though I'd really like to know how having an animated shield floating around me impairs my ability to dodge attacks. If you house rule that the animated shield doesn't interfere then I might go for it, otherwise I'd say put it up for sale.

Edit: There's a reason serious powergamers practically never use races or templates with a level adjustment for making Sorcerers (or Wizards). The delay in getting more damage dice and, especially, higher level spells really hurts.

Of course, if you have enough money, we could buy extras for everyone that wants one. It's only 30000 gp each, after all.
