Ning/Nang looks at Simon  "Maybe you should use the identify wand, you will resist the Torque more strongly than I"

Quote:Identified so far

• Half-Plate +2   - vote that this goes to Selina since Tomreal wants the lighter armoyr
  

Next to Identify:

• Elven Chain
  
• composite longbow (Str+4)
  
• light crossbow
  
• longsword
  

After we identify these, we can decide to identify more or move on.

[[OoC: Bee tee double-yoo, half-plate is actually *considerably* worse than full-plate, and not just in terms of Armor bonus. It offers nothing in the way of a dex bonus (so her total AC with the +2 Half-plate will stay the same and her touch AC will get even worse), a worse ACP, and weighs the same. Best thing to do would be to find someone who can strip the +2 off of the Half-plate and put it on Selina's Full-plate.]]

Wow it is worse.. remember though that all magical armour is also Masterwork. so the armour check penalty becomes -6 instead of -7. But the 0 dex bonus means it is just the same as your full plate.

Guess we hang on to it until we can transfer enchantment.

[[Right, but just to get to that break-even point, that half-plate requires the magic enhancement. Imagine how boss Selina will be when we can transfer the +2 to her full plate.]]

"That would be true if I were using my, no offense, superior experience and skills.  But we're using a the Wand (CL5) power level to resist.  However you are correct that if there is a mishap then I'm more likely to survive but only if the effect allows me to resist.  I could be turned to goo as easily as you if the effect is irresistible."

"So I can do it but it will require another charge from the wand.  I believe you still have duration remaining on you Torque resistance."

[Ooc oh the wand has a duration,  thought it was one use.. kk]

Elven Chain
Nang - Torque check [1d20+7] = 7+7 = 14 [OoC it could be argue  that Simon with his being 7th level is a slikely to succeed without the wand as  Nang is with it.. and has a +12 with the wand]

[OoC: The Torque wand lasts for 5 minutes. ]

[OoC2: I had forgotten that Identify Spell takes an HOUR to cast.   ]

[OoC3: I'm a DM that really hates all the time spent (even before learning it takes an HOUR to cast) identifying magic items.  I think it's unnecessary and as this has shown, it makes the game lag.  It's why I really prefer Artificer's Monacales.  If I want a Magic Item to be mysterious, then the spell just doesn't work.  After all, it is only a 1st level spell. So until further notice, I'm just going to use the Pathfinder Identify Spell and update the Spellcraft rules.  So when casting Identify it gives you a +10 on spellcraft checks to identify magic items.

[OoC: The Torque Wand AND the Wand of Identify are both CL5!  This means:

1. When protected by the Torque Wand the person using the Wand of identify rolls (1d20+10) to resist Torque.  The DC is 15 + Spell level
   
2. The Wand of Identify lasts for 3 rounds per level (See the PF identify Spell)so you can Identify 5 items per casting.  The DC is 15 + Level of the item 
   

Any questions? ]

Betimi uses the wand of Identify [Roll = 7 +10; Success].  She can now make 5 Spellcraft checks with +10 to Identify 5 items.  [Please make your rolls]
