They aren't because they can say more then they're own name and aren't legendary :)

Pfft, they are of the appropriate type and can advance through race.  They're pokemon!

That's right.   :P

I was wrong though, Pha isn't a Pokémon.  Kong totally is though.   :P

Pha won't be using her crystal. She'll keep it without using it.

I'm considering having her give all her crystals to Zax eventually but we'll see how things go.
Maybe she'll trade it for something at some point or sell it. Or give it as a reward or thank you gift to someone in the future.

That'd be interesting. Have all the players horde their +1HP crystals, then give them all at the end of the campaign to the one the six sages say is the fated hero, and then he gets a billion hit points.

Also, what kind of action is it to use a crystal, say, in combat? Does it count as a healing effect? Could it be used to stabilize yourself if you're in danger of dying? Are the other minmax'y questions that I should be asking about these crystals? Can they be used as sling bullets to allow a one-time pip heal at range? What's their HP per inch and Hardness? Can you make a whip out of them by stringing them together? :)

I'll assume Zax just keeps playing silent tough guy.

Zax is playing the "I drove two hours to a Barnes & Noble because my internet's been down for 18 hours" guy.

Also a choice. As a quite rare item, it can be used as a powerful bargaining piece in the right negotiation.

-Yes, they would count as a healing effect. However if you're knocked out of your senses, you can't really use them in yourself.
-Yes, assuming you manipulate them with gloves or some kind of cover you could fit them into a sling and throw them at an ally to stablize them.
-They don't have HP/hardness, one of the reasons they're popular as jewels since are virtually indestructible short of stuff like Disintegrate.
-However, if you group them too much togheter by trying to weave an item out of multiples of them, they'll naturally fuse each other in a gem of the same size, but that grants the combined HP of them all at once. The reason you never heard of swords of Life Containers or plates of Life Containers.

So, anything else you want to care care of or you'll rest so Rabbit can start identifying stuff?

There's a forest with a temple  behind you just as a reminder.

'Forbidden' temple. Yep.
I was considering having the group make a trip there, perhaps because she got a relative in the area. Actually, kind of considering having them go all over the map to meet these relatives.

It'd be a good idea to have the items identified first as they might be of use on the way.
She would otherwise check up the crew's quarters. Some lesser pirates might have had a hidden stash of his own.
Taking 20 for 22 on it.

Waiting a day would be a good idea either way since the prisoners might have things to say - or to get said.

Doesn't the Rezbit needs to roll spellcraft checks to analyze stuff?

They certainly do. I just didn't want to clog up the forum with my usual mile-long posts. I wanted to give the others some room to finish up stuff.

Also, Rabbit's analysis of the Pokeball is mostly for fluff to find out how a Matter to Energy Conversion sphere could exist on a world that hasn't even split the atom yet.

Though, if you want them now:

- Pokéball:
Rolled 1d20+9 : 17 + 9, total 26

- Delicate Chain Shirt:
Rolled 1d20+9 : 13 + 9, total 22

- Worn-Out Book:
Rolled 1d20+9 : 6 + 9, total 15

- Black Leather Belt:
Rolled 1d20+9 : 17 + 9, total 26

- Sun-Shaped Brooch:
Rolled 1d20+9 : 17 + 9, total 26

- Chain with Amber (Beetle Inside):
Rolled 1d20+9 : 8 + 9, total 17

- Pirate Captain's Glaive:
Rolled 1d20+9 : 1 + 9, total 10


For convenience, I've spoilered the Rezbit's Analyze Technology ability below:

Oscl, you listed the vials as

...several brilliant coins and some vials with liquids of diferent colors.

Plus unless I missed it, Rabbit doesn't know about the three vials Phe has, so...

Should I just plot down a bunch of rolls and let you apply them in some order?

The chest had: six plain red vials, two plain green vials, two plain blue vials, one yellow vial. Vials of the same color seem to be the same thing, so only one roll per kind. Pha found a red, a green and blue vial, so she'll know what she has if you tell what the chest had.
