OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edited2)

So...How's it going?

[Jack Simth]

Server closed; two baddies killed (one CR 14, one CR 16); 2520 Xp each to Derrel, Jason, Elorin, and Kaylin; 1950 for Kibin.

1000 extra XP each for everyone for assorted traps and puzzles dealt with.

Loot hashed out in character; check log, hopefully attached.

Someday I'll deal with a trap by not triggering it

[Jack Simth]

Until then, you may want to invest in a ring of feather falling to reduce the impact... or a scroll of feather falling, slip it into your spellbook, and keep a copy prepared at all times....

As for spell research....

Well, I already put the basic options for what Kibin's after in the discussion itself.... propose a spell, and I'll see about assigning a level.

I could also slip something vaugely plot-related in.... a Ring of Polymorph, Continuous, with a set form whenever worn, perhaps....

[Violist]

Ring of Feather Falling sounds awesome... just the sort of thing I need for all these accursed pits.

For the new spell, I like the idea of 2,000 XP drain from the target each casting. As a sort of combination of Permanency and Polymorph would make sense to me... so it'd be something like:

Level 7:

36 hour ritual
Permanent duration (or until subject wishes to change back)
1,000 XP from the target (or 2,000 if wishes to gain abilities of new form)
Changes into any monster valid from Polymorph with up to 15HD (caster level HD)
5,000 gp MC cost (or 10,000 if wishes to gain abilities of new form)

Also, attached are the OpenRPG node and the charsheet for when (if) you want to NPC Kaylin.

How about plot related thingie? Like some ritual the sorcerer does to get me back to normal for the ritual he wants to do. Maybe requiring a piece of the monster.

[Jack Simth]

Well... I've already pretty much decided on the path he is going to use to get the memory he's after ... waiting for a day when everyone shows up to run it, however. I have it mostly scripted out, even (doing so will set a clock, however....).

A side plot, though ... hmm ... a different ring ... crafted for Evil's purposes ... but able to be turned towards Good's use ... yes....

He he he....

[NullAshton]

Bah, I'll just let you deal with everything. I've learned not to try to mess with the plot/rules any.

They aren't particularly expensive; only 2,200 gp.

For not keeping the abilities, that works at 7th; to get the abilities though, you need to start from Shapechange (9th), rather than Polymorph Any Object (8th), and must apply a Permanency modifier to it first (+4), and a one change per casting modifier (-2), for a starting point of 11th; a 100,000 gp Focus, 10,000 gp Material Component, and 2,000 xp drain net a -3, down to 8th; a long ritual (48 hours) would give another -1, for 7th. Could also increase one of the requirements (xp, MC, or Focus cost) by an order of magnitude (x10; 1,000,000 gp focus, 100,000 gp Material Component, 20,000 xp (split however between caster and target), or 480 hours (Forced March rules to continue the casting - keep Elorin on hand for eliminating fatigue and exhastion.... and pick up two Rings of Sustenence - one for caster, one for target)) for an extra -1 to the spell level.

Can we just let the sorcerer do it for us?
