Claims people?

[Corwin]

We happen to know giants! Anyway, I'd probably surprise everyone and want to buy the +1 str boost.

[Ebiris]

17,500+7,500+16,000+40,000+900+32,000+32,000+8,000+8,000+4,000+4,000+1,000+4,500+3,000+27,500+18,000+10,000

233,900

-900 for Identify x9

Gives 58,475 each.

Alicia would also like the strength boost, since I might as well just kill myself if Seira becomes stronger than me.

[Taishyr]

Dual Wand. Deme would take the stat booster if no one else had interest, but since Seira's spoken up.

[Anastasia]

Antenora's interested in the cloak, as it covers a few spots she could improve on rather nicely.

She might pick up the bow if no one else is interested, or the +str booster if it somehow misses everyone else.

[Ebiris]

233k/4 gives 58,250gp each (I forgot to subtract the ID cost earlier)

Seira gets a potion of +1 str worth 27,500gp and 30,750gp

Demedais gets double-wand worth 16,000gp and 42,250gp

Alicia gets 58,250gp

Antenora gets cloak worth 17,500gp and 40,750gp.

All totals up to 233k.

Things that interest me:

Shades Mk.3 (10k)
Pearl of Power III (9k)
Scabbard of Keen Edges (16k)
Rod of Lesser Metamagic, Quicken (35k)
Rod of Lesser Metamagic, Maximize (16k)
Rod of Wonder (12k)
A custom staff of fire/conjuration
Orange Ioun Stone (30k)

Edit: that Glove of Storing thing, as a slotless item.

Gloves are fine.
Pearl's fine.
Scabbard's fine.
I have no objection to the quicken rod as is.
I do object to the maximize rod. The more I think about it, I don't really want maximized spells thrown around for free for that price. I may up the price on it and consider it acceptable, but I can't really palate it for 16k.
Rod of Wonder is fine.
Depend son thes taff, obviously. Do you have it drawn up.
Ioun Stone is fine.

[Corwin]

Staff of Magic Missile, Scorching Ray, Fireball? Pretty much those for a beginner's staff.

Something limited for conjuration (Summon Monster III, Cloudkill) could also be fun.

I'd have to do some math on that. I'll post tonight before you wake up.

[Corwin]

I'll do some basic math, you'll just need to confirm it and approve or disagree. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm#creatingStaffs

Sell price: 750 × the level of the highest-level spell × the level of the caster (8CL as the minimum)--

Offense staff: 750x3x8
Conjuration staff: 750x5x8

--plus 75% of the value of the next most costly ability (562.5 × the level of the spell × the level of the caster)--

Offense staff: +562.5x2x8
Conjuration staff: +562.5x3x8

--plus one-half of the value of any other abilities

Offense staff: +350x1x8


Offense: 29.800gp
Conjuration: 43,500gp

(didn't use this: If desired, a spell can be placed into the staff at only half the normal cost, but then activating that particular spell costs 2 charges from the staff.)

If the basic math is solid, and the idea works for you, I'll probably get one of them, or design something similar based on them. If you'd prefer to have themes (as in, only fire, or only evocation, whichever works), then let me know and I'll work with that.

[Anastasia]

Either of those look okay.

[Corwin]

Staff of Fire-lite: Scorching Ray (1 charge), Fireball (1 charge). [CL8] 27,000gp
Staff of Fiery Fire: Scorching Ray (1 charge), Fireball (1 charge), Cone of Fire (2 charges). [CL9] 38,803.5gp
Staff of Force: Magic Missile (1 charge), Manyjaws (1 charge), Orb of Force (2 charges). [CL8] 28,500gp

Fiery Fire: (750x5x9)/2 + 562.5x3x9 + 375x2x9 = 33750/2 + 15187.5 + 6750 = 38,803.5gp
Force: (750x4x8)/2 + 562.5x3x8 + 375x1x8 = 24,000/2 + 13,500 + 3,000 = 28,500gp

Any of those could be fun to order. I technically can't cover the second, but it'd be alright if I sell something.

* Cone of Fire is basically the Cone of Cold spell only with fire damage, as listed under the arcane Fire domain.

[Corwin]

I'll purchase Pearl III, and once there's a decision on the staves presented, will decide what to sell to get one of them.
