Oh, and can I add a bag of nails to his stuff?

Quote from: Narf the Mouse;261154Oh, and can I add a bag of nails to his stuff?

You shouldn't have too great a problem finding nails, but they are pretty heavy.  100 nails to a bag, half a silver up to 2sp each bag, weight and cost depending on size.  You can get three or four bags of small nails, up to about 4d, but larger than that is going to be scarce, with the boom in construction going on.

Four dozen small nails should do...Er, how strictly are you enforcing weight limits?

Quote from: Narf the Mouse;261162Four dozen small nails should do...Er, how strictly are you enforcing weight limits?

Not terribly, but I am watching them.  You all will (likely) have horses, so it isn't critical for most situations, but no one will be slinging the saddlebags over their platemail and pack full of gold to jog back to town, either.

EDIT:
We'll call it a half bag of 50 4d nails for half a silver, and it weighs a pound, or 10cn.

Ok, I should be just at the weight limit, then.

Thanks.

' It's been heard that one of the scouts the Duke sent out to investigate returned a broken man, spending most of his time sobbing or gibbering.

Nothing else of interest seems to be occurring around town, I assume you are supplied and equipped how you want? No other purchases to make?'

Well...That's an interesting turn of phrase from Stormbringer. Too bad it's OOC knowledge.

Yeah, I figure it saves time from having Kargan tell everyone later.  

So, game or rules questions in here, scene related OOC in italics over in IC, if you want, and I will send secret information by PM, so keep your boxes free-ish.

Ok, looks like everyone is happy with their stuff, no one wants to get anything else, so tomorrow we will jump ahead to the Lord Steward and the meeting.

Er, do we start with magic items? Seems like we do, but OSRIC didn't seem to have them.

Quote from: Narf the Mouse;261665Er, do we start with magic items? Seems like we do, but OSRIC didn't seem to have them.

Yeah, the 5000xp was for buying those.  I thought I sent you a list.  Let me go back and double check.
EDIT: Looks like I didn't.  I will correct that tonight.

Ok, thanks.

Quote from: Narf the Mouse;261674Ok, thanks.

Here's what I came up with:

Bracers of Defence, AC4
Ring of Feather Falling
Dagger +2, +3 vs creatures larger than man sized
Potion of Healing (x2)
Potion of Climbing

Ok, thanks.

But...How does a dagger make sense to a wizard? No wands of Magic Missile?

1st edition only allowed three (four?) weapons for a Magic User.  Dart, Dagger, Staff.  Maybe one other.  Unearthed Arcana added more, and I will probably be using those off and on, too.

StormBringer, been meaning to ask about one of the items I picked for Dagan-Zur, the Candle of Invocation. I'll quote the relevant section.
"...If burned by a cleric of the same alignment, the candle temporarily increases the cleric's level of experience by 2, allowing him or her to cast additional spells, and even normally unavailable spells, as if he or she were of the higher level, but only so long as the taper is aflame."
How does this work? To access these levels would I need to light the candle when I pray for spells then carry it about lit. Or could I say light the candle after a combat in order to access say a Remove Curse spell which not something I could normally cast.
