+1 Flaming Longsword
+2 Keen Longsword
Full Plate +1 (Moderate Fortification)
Full Plate +2
Heavy Shield +1
Heavy Shield +1 Bashing
Light crossbow +1
Crossbow bolts +1 (presumably 50)

Cloak of Elvenkind
Boots of Elvenkind
Chime of Opening

- Angelus Requiem
Bracers of Armor +2
Quarterstaff +1
Pearl of Power (2nd level)
MW Manacles (For you to wear later )
Arcane Scrolls (Charm Person, Invisibility, Invisibility Sphere, Misdirection (multiple, not sure how many yet), Minor Image, Halt Undead) - Note that these are almost all Enchantment and Illusion spells that Caelith can't cast

- Caelith blahblahblah long last name
Rapier +1 Shocking Burst
Ring of Protection +2
Longbow +1, Axiomatic
Arrows +1 (presumably 50)

Wand of Floating Disk (CL9, 35 Charges)

- General Items

We have one bag of holding, Type II - Any volunteers to carry it? Offhand, I recommend Garor. He'll easily be able to carry it unimpeded, and he's typically always with the core of the group (whereas occasionally a Paladin or so will wander off for a specific task )

Potions! Everybody has one each of the following potions: Hide from Undead, Pass without Trace, Cure Serious Wounds, Good Hope

- Other items

The following stuff was also brought back, but we should decide who gets what together:

Cloak of Resistance +2
Cloak of Resistance +1
Gauntlets of Ogre Power
Amulet of Health +2
Headband of Intellect +2
Periapt of Wisdom +2

There's 6, so theoretically one can go to each person. But lemme know what you guys think.

[BluSpecs]

I don't mind carrying the the bag of holding thats fine.

As far as the 6 up for grabs items, I'm pretty negotiable

[Hero]

As a paladin in the service of the kingdom, my character is grateful for these items for the good they will do for the cause. As a player....WHEEEEEEEEE! YAY! Magic STUFF!

Wizard - there are basically two sets of four items for each of us with a sword, armor, shield and missle weapon in each set. Why don't you pick 1 item and I'll take the one left. Then I will pick an item and you will take the one left and so on until we are done. you pick first - take whichever one item you want.

[Hero]

As for the "leftover items" I would suggest the following:

Gauntlets of Ogre Power - Callian or Hero in a coin flip. Why? Because we swing our swords every round.

Amulet of Health +2 - Newt. Why? Because if he sneak attacks someone and they live then he's in trouble. He'll need those HP.

Headband of Intellect +2 - Caelith or Angelus in a coin flip. Why? Int determines the DC of their spells and bonus spells.

Periapt of Wisdom +2 - Garor - because he is the cleric

Cloak of Resistance +2 - Loser of the Caelith/Angelus Coin Flip

Cloak of Resistance +1 - Loser of the Hero/Callian Coin flip. Why do the paladins get the sucky cloak? Because our saves already rock.

[BluSpecs]

Works for me

[TheUdjat]

My suggestions:

Gauntlets: Hero, 'cause she's a frontline fighter and could use it.

Amulet: Callian, because for a frontline fighter his hit points kinda suck. He could use the additional 6 hit points more than anyone else, I think.

Periapt: Garor. Duh.

Headband: Caelith. Because he's not a prisoner. j/k, it can be effective in either person's hands. I will actually edge Angelus out over Caelith, mainly because Caelith is not ONLY a wizard, while Angelus is. The Pearl of Power might be a good conciliatory gift, as the increased Int is going to get you another bonus spell anyhow. Or not, since I hogged most of the scrolls (Angelus is, after all, a prisoner)

Cloaks: Caelith has a solid +4 to all, and Newt has +4 Fort, +Incredible Reflex, and +3(+5) Will. I'd say the +2 to Caelith and the +1 to Newt.

[Japic]

Personally I believe that Girud should get the Gauntlets of Ogre power. ;D

But that's just my opinion.

[Hero]

This looks okay to me.

Mm but with the headband I will get an extra 2nd level spell but I would get that same effect anyway with the pearl but the set up would gip me an item *sniff Sniff* I want more magical boom ability LOL no worries though I already get quite abit though from the items I already recieve

[Hero]

The headband is better than the pearl because the headband also boosts your spell save DCs. The pearl also has to be used to to recall a spell you have already prepared and cast that day. So, its not quite as good as having an extra spell slot, but it is almost as good as having an extra spell slot.

So, pearl = good, headband = better.

[TheUdjat]

And you reminded me that you got to start with better items than us.... So screw you, hippie!

Headband to Angelus, Pearl to Caelith. Now we both get an additional 2nd level spell (sorta). Plus, the Headband stacks nicely with Spellcasting Prodigy for you.

[Wizard]

Oops, didn't see this thread 'til Saturday.

Hero, that +2 full plate is looking pretty good.

And if I could put in a word for the periapt...this is obviously my fault, but my Wis is 10, so it could turn me from a spell-less paladin to a spell-wielding paladin.

Also, I would point out that when calculating my hp (which DID have some crappy rolls in there), you have to remember that I can heal 18 points of damage a day. For pallies, Cha mod+Con mod=NEW Con mod.

EDIT: There is one way in which the pearl is better than the headband...the pearl will let you "cast spontaneously" as a wizard...sort of.

[Hero]

Okay, that leaves me with the +1 Full Plate with Moderate Fortification. I'll pick the +2 Keen Longsword, leaving you with the +1 Flaming Longsword.

Your pick. :-)

[Wizard]

I'll take the lt. crossbow +1, and thus the +1 shield.

Funny you should mention that. The Periapt was originally for Callian. See, I looked for a stat-boosting item for everyone, and had an order of selections based on availability for each person. As Hero and Callian were at the top of my item list, they cycled through stuff the fastest - Thus the Gauntlets and the Periapt.

Garor actually got nothing. But I kinda assumed the cleric would want the periapt. I was aware, though, that Callian was missing out on Paladin spells.

If you guys want to switch it up or something, that's cool. We can just give Garor whatever item he'd prefer instead (Amulet, Cloak +2, Cloak +1. Newt and I can just pick from whatever's left). Up to you guys.

[BluSpecs]

Wizard, go ahead and take the wis booster. I don't need none o' that crap. I'll take the cloak +1 though...

done - bashing and bolts for me!

[Hero]

Okay, well I guess I'll take the guantlets. ;D

BTW - If I make a mounted charge, smite and crit with my lance (not likely) I'll have a +14 to hit but I'll do 6d8+60 damage. If I make a mounted charge, smite and crit with my longsword (somewhat likely) I'll do 4d8+24. Not bad. I love the "poke-mount."

[TheUdjat]

Okay, so Newt - You want the Amulet or the Cloak +2?

[K Man]

Guess who is never gonna see another live horse that ISN'T outside of the control of 'The Master'...

Ever...
