How much is a silver ingot worth?

Looking at the list for mastercraft armour effects, would if be possible to have something different? Thea would like a chain mail shirt that doesn't affect her stealth roll, ie has an encumbrance like light armour?

[sulldawga]

Each silver ingot is worth 200 sp.

Most RPGs are built so that each class gets their own 'jobs' that other classes can't do. If a Rogue can live longer in melee with better armor but still move around in stealth, it weakens the value of the Fighter.

So I am leaning toward saying no. If I did decide you could do it, it would be the equivalent of Elven Chain and Teldorthan would be the wrong guy to make it. I'd make you seek out an Elven armorer, who is less likely to give/sell one to a human. But where there's a will, there's a way!

[shaidar]

OK, no probs. I think Thea will hang onto her money for now then.

I assume we are happy too divide the 360sp from the lord warden between 5 (inc group fund) that's 72sp each. I'll update the treasure thread later.

[Rex]

That works for me. I am also willing to pitch in for either of your characters if they decide to try and upgrade something.

[Rex]

Sheets updated.

[shaidar]

I think I'll leave it for now.

What's next? A quick drop off of funds at the church then trying to find out about the others items we found? Some might be magical or just worth money.

[Rex]

Good idea on at least having everything checked to see if it is magical and if so what we can learn about it.

[shaidar]

Hopefully there is a wizard or sage around who might be able to help with that.

[Rex]

We shall see.

To speed things up, I made an Arcane Lore check for Wick on the Staff.

Arcane Lore check: 1d20 3

The Chieftain's Staff is a Staff of Mend Flesh. Once every 1d4 days, the wielder may invoke the Mend Flesh spell. It also has the Damage Boost quality (+1 to damage).
The Volcano Drum, when used, continues to beat ten times after the user stops (at the same volume and tempo).

The wide leather belt with the studded bronze buckle is not magical but pushing one of the studs opens a secret compartment in the buckle; another releases a two-inch buckle blade.

[Rex]

The belt seems a good fit for Dagr (sorry about the pun). The staff is an excellent item but doesn't really fit either Dagr or Senorix thematically.

[shaidar]

That's fine.

I'm just working out whether it's worth Wick using the staff instead of his mace and shield. Damage would be slightly less and he'd lose the AC bonus from the shield.

[sulldawga]

FYI, a staff can be used one-handed. It's also a Second Rank weapon.

[shaidar]

That's a distinct possibility then, the base dmg would be d6+1 rather than d8, but it would work.

[shaidar]

I guess then we need to get the non-magical stuff appraised

turquoise gem
diamond earrings
Platinum ring

Depending on what they are worth, they are small enough to keep and use as emergency funds if we end up in a place with no church of Pelor.

[Rex]

Good idea with the stones. Seems someone should take the staff. If you end up not interested Dagr doesn't mind fighting with a staff. Can he use its powers?

[shaidar]

I think Wick would like the staff.

Anyone want the drum? I'm not sure I see an obvious use for it.

[Rex]

Wick is welcome to the staff. I don't see an obvious use for the drum either.

[shaidar]

I think we should see what we can sell it for.

[Rex]

Sounds good to me.
