ugh that sucks

If you're lucky, there's an easy problem with the transmission.
Sometimes when you park the van, you'll lock the steering and it takes some fiddling to get it to unlock.
An automatic transmission can do the same if you don't work the brake pedal + shifter perfectly.
IF you're lucky that's all it is, and it's just a screwdriver turn to unlock to fix it.
If ... you're lucky.
Heck the owner's manual might even have a (slightly byzantine) procedure to do it yourself.
IFF

Good luck.

Huh ... I got that book in '03 and didn't start reading C.O. until '05.
I guess everyone If I asked in the intervening 2 years just hand-waved it to "work".

Dream Larva cast Dreamscape as an (sp) twice a day.
wtf
9th level spells as (su) via Dweomerkeeper , is a solid order of magnitude weaker.

Waste Crawler (Sandstorm p191) - has a SLA usable 1/century.  That's a looooooong wait between castings!

I forgot how to calculate epic spell levels. Anyone? Sounds like a good one to spellthieve.

"Epic Spell" = SLA ... I don't ever recall anything else like that (doesn't mean it doesn't exist elsewhere).
Epic spell with casting time of 1 round, no focus, no exp burn, etc, is quite the whut !

Locate City + linear Widen til you get to the size, maybe DC 13 +4*X
Apocalypse From The Sky + linear damage increase to the right amount, maybe DC 29 +2*Y
Probably mid 500s, then ...
use the increased casting time mitigation, as a proxy for can't cast it for 100 years.
DM Fiat of course, but custom seeds are normal.

... no access to the generator.

Works for me.  Clicked on (Launch Generator).  Using Internet Edge in case the browser makes a difference.

Firefox Linux , the company that supplies the multistation software didn't renew a pile of certificates, and crashed systems across the USA and Canada, etc, and that's before we get to my Weenie filter (which was old news a decade ago)

Kill me now, let our future robot overlords sort it out.

some ideas here
http://bg-archive.minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=5941.0

Major Bloodline "level" in-between 2nd and 3rd, gets you 1 skill rank in both skills, so that 1 level earlier (give or take the exp differential blah).

 :lol


Vaguely remember the Effigy Master in CArc as the cheapest construct ~advancer and/or cheese.
But sheez, that's like 339 era stuff.
Artificer is my bet for cheapest normal use, but it's a bet.

It's the Arizona plates that have the cactus, I conflated the two states.
I saw one of the newer blue ones with the figure in the middle ...

... and ye olde subconscious threw in the zona and halforcs.

But now that I've thought about it, the Chiles one is at least a little bit phalic4-1/2orcs, yes?

You can swap a treasure parcel for feat or skill training But I can't recall offhand which exact page in the DMG.

You can purchase a PHB spell service casting of Find Familiar, cheap enough to be worth it, regardless of negotiated price.  Right there in the basic items list.


Oathbreaker built not at all like SorO's build, can have Warlock 5 for short rest Animate Deads.  That's gotta be worth some Necro-ing.

Saw my first New Mexico license plate (that I can remember).
It's possible I saw one in DC as a blur driving by, but missed "seeing" it.
Anyway this one was real.


edit after a few days -- I forgot to mention, NM plates have a phalicsymbol-for-HalfOrcs on it.
A quite nice touch really.

... Animated Series Handbook is primarily known for the energy bow, but there's a second useful artifact in it: The Hat of Many Spells.

The 25,000 GP hat provides material components for any spell up to 1000 GP. That alone is pretty nifty, but it can also Empower an unlimited number of spells per day* and lets you covert any wizard spell to any spell of that level or lower.

*With a chance 1/3rd chance of eating the spell and casting rod of wonder effect and 1/3rd chance of working but causing a rod of wonder effect (Isn't there some Rod of Wonder support that would boost this?).

1000 gp covers just about everything with an expensive component yes?

Is the random/bad effect on both Empower and "converting" ; or is it just the Empower part?

KellK yeah that is about as serious as it gets.
I don't think it's your job to know what to say, when something like this gets plopped into your lap.
It's no surprise your friends were being quiet about it -- reasonable and normal reaction
... but ... this NOT being quiet, is the better thing to do.

Cleric 2 Knowledge / Fighter 3 Fire Rune = Tool-o-mancer

Rogue offers another argument route for the Sorc'Lock recharge.

... This kind of thing comes with the territory living in California. There's a acceptance of the impending threat of catastrophic earthquakes that is sort of baked into the psyche of anyone who is born here. Unlike most other natural disasters, earthquakes just kind of interrupt your day without warning ...

You know what they call a 3.7 earthquake in NoCal ?

It's a shame really, but 5e is being out-crunched right now by PF2, massively so, and there's not much they can do about it for some time.
