Min/Max Boards

An artificer will be putting all these spells onto a complex magical trap.

The hospital will be staffed by Experts who have had their minds rewritten into thinking they're part of an odd sect that has it's magical powers go to the place of worship rather than any particular worshiper.

So besides Lesser Vigor, Remove Disease and Lesser Restoration, is there anything I need to corner the market on magical healing, or to put it another way, what won't those three heal?

Liquid pain is 1 xp per dose more potent than ambrosia... honestly I don't care for patient comfort that much.

Besides, this is about early set up so I'm not creating that many expensive, useless, counter productive magic items.

This is going to be done in stealth. The hospital will be the head quarters of an 'obscure religion' and none of the patients know they're being harvested, so a nipple clamp might be conspicuous.

I've recently been asked the question, what the lowest level someone could build a liquid pain hospital. For a jumping off point, let's assume there is one PC who wants to establish this hospital, and wants it to be able to be run by a small group of Experts. The obvious class choice for the PC is Artificer, as they have the best ability to craft the magic items needed to make the hospital function.

So the question before the board is what magic items would be necessary to run a Liquid Pain Hospital, and we'll extract backward a level requirement.

An ability to cast Liquid Pain (BoVD p98) is a obvious must.

Well that does answer that question.

No save, no SR, range touch attack, and 10d6 damage per missle, fun.

Useful, but since this an ECL 16 build most of the things I'll be fighting will have enough Energy resistance to ignore those.

What would the price be for an unslotted always on magic item of heroics?

Binder?  Naberius might look good on you...

That sounds good, if I can actually pay for the special requirements.
