Custom Item Creation

Custom Item Creation

Custom-created items are available for purchase, left up to the imagination (and bank account) of the player. These purchases are liable to be extremely expensive, depending on powerful an item is desired to be. Any items created in this way must be placed, for purchase, in a Shop owned by that player (which means that a player must already own a Shop in order to create custom items in this way).

Costs will be based on the following criteria:

-Item Type (armor, weapon, wand, jewelry, etc.)

-Statistics put upon it

-Extra 'flags' (magical, glowing, humming, etc.)

-Item's effects and power when used (if applicable)

-Level (sometimes, not always; see full list of 'starting prices' below)

In addition, the cost to purchase copies of the item from the shop it is placed in will be calculated first by comparing it to an existing item that is the closest possible similarity, then adding (or subtracting, as may be the case) based on how much better (or worse) it is than the item it is being compared to. This final purchasing cost will be at Lilly's discretion, but rest assured that it will be fairly analyzed and appraised.

The spells/effects of a 'useable' item (scrolls, wands, potions, etc.) will be negotiated with Lilly on a case-by-case basis; there are far too many spells and effects in the Cleft of Dimensions to make a database entailing specific costs for each one, so discuss with her exactly what you want an item to do, and she will quote you a price.

Give and Take

Adding positive aspects to an object is not the only way to create something new! By adding detrimental aspects to an item, you are able to give yourself 'allowance' on an item to use as credit towards other traits. Here's an example: Someone adds +1 Str to an item, which costs 500g. Instead of paying 500g, they also add -1 Int to the item, which sets them back to an even balance of no cost. By choosing where to place positive aspects and where to place negative aspects that may not hurt you too terribly, you can offset the cost of your finished product! Detrimental effects work the same way backward as they do forward, which means that adding a -4 to Wis, for example, will allow you to add +4 to Con at no additional cost!

Final Notes

If there are ANY questions about this process (think of it like a workshop!), please don't hesitate to contact Lilly via note or tell, if available online at the time. Though very detailed in its premise, I'm sure there are things I did not think of to include here that could likely be thought up by players, and I usually enjoy hearing about new ideas or insights. Additionally, haggling is an option! If there is something that you really, REALLY want, but is not listed as an available choice (within the confines of minimum and maximum allowances), ask Lilly about it. Chances are it's going to cost more to have it your way, but if its reasonable, there's a very good chance it can be created to your liking.
