Fun Finds v6.0

What's the Wild Talent for? Giving it two foci? (Containment already gives it 1)

my sig

This sig is even more incoherent than usual. I think its raging against how consistent God's implementation of working with humanity is[/spoiler]

It could be non sequitur style pun with a very mild critique about saying yes without reading the fine print. Maybe it's suggesting Apple and the Bible are alike with it's fanatics and published porn. You'll just never know, but it's confusing enough to suggest that you could think about it.

Wild Talent allows it to Psionically Focus. Then you can use Containment to use its focus.

Just have it focus every round, and benefit from free psionic focuses.

Your sig: It's 'go forth and multiply.' Unless there's another pun there that I missed.

[SorO_Lost]

Yep, that's what it's supposed to be. Does it bug you?

Nuthin wrong with 'tentional screwups. Just makin sure it aint accidental.

[SorO_Lost]

Only 99.9% of my typos are accidentally.

[Aliek]

On Lost Empires of Faerun, there's this spel, (some guys) containment sphere.
Due to the way it's worded, it should be able to bypass regeneration altogether, unless I'm missin something

Also, the flavor drawing is a troll being hit by that, which, if nothing else, makes that arguably RAI too.

[Kethrian]

You mean Crushing Sphere?  I think you may be right ...

[Aliek]

Yup, that's the one. Definitely a fun find, according to how boring my finds usually are

Raistlin's Frog: In Betrayal, the mad sorceress/healer Maab uses a magic trinket -- a frog on a pendant. She claims that Raistlin gave it to her many, many years past. Raistlin did indeed present her with the bauble, though where he got it remains a mystery. Once per day, the frog allows the bearer to cast spells at a +5 caster level with respect to range, duration, and so on. The effect lasts for 5 rounds.

The frog was stolen by the sivak draconian Ragh. His companions do not know he possesses the bauble.

Caster Level: 14th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item; Market Price: 1,000 gp; Weight: --.

+5CL for 1000gp? That's crazy. Crazy good.

[Keldar]

Forget that!  Its from Raistlin.  He'd probably be played by Tom Hiddleston or some shit.  He was sparkly, emo, and immortal before it was cool!  Its a frog too, you don't get more dreamy than that!

Probably pretty (very) old, and regularly stated, but it's been stated again.

Energy Wall + Energy Conversion for heaps of ray damage, charge-up DBZ style. 2x rays, because your psicrystal gets Energy Conversion as well (as long as it's mobile). Feat the thing up into the best ray-casting thingamajig you can.

That's awesome.

lay the energy wall on the floor, use the shaping effect to change it into a cylinder, and you have a nearly picture perfect dbz-style super saiyajin charge up. some minor shape shift / alter self for your hair and muscles/size and presto.

throw in the wu-jen giant size and maybe a wild shape into a dire gorilla, and you have some old style db-goodness.

you'll have to rp your own smack talk, however.

On reading the article, I noticed that the crystal ball would seemingly allow a Shadowcraft mage to remote-cast their heightened Silent Images to imitate any Conjuration(Creation), Conjuration(summoning) or Evocation spells.  Surprise your foes with Elemental Monoliths today!

Sabar's Gazing Globe (Crystal Ball): In Redemption, the heroes discover the wondrous magic device called Sabar's Gazing Globe. Created by an ancient Wizard of the Red Robes named Sabar, they crystal ball works as described in the Dungeon Master's Guide except for one thing: This crystal ball allows silent image to be cast in such a way that the point of origin can be any place shown in the crystal ball. (The caster must cast the spell, however.) Some scholars believe that Sabar made all manner of unusual magic items and put a bit of herself into each one.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, scrying; Market Price: 50,000 gp; Weight: 7 lb.

Somewhere there is a writer going, "oh crap you can use it like that?"
