1st Party Equipment and Item Changes

The following are changes implemented to certain Paizo pieces of equipment and magic items, as well as some changes to the crafting system.

## Amazing Tools of Manufacture

Change the description to the following

Tools of this type always appear to be of the highest quality and wrought of the finest materials, most often mithral, darkwood, and adamantine. In the hands of a casual wielder, these items are magically enhanced masterwork tools for a specific Spellcraft or Craft skill (determined randomly or by the creator at the time of creation), granting a +4 circumstance bonus on such skill checks. However, in the hands of a craftsman with 6 or more ranks in the selected Spellcraft or Craft skill, the greater power of the amazing tools of manufacture becomes apparent. The wielder makes additional progress as though they had benefited from cooperative crafting when using the downtime action to craft mundane or magical.

## Amulet of the Blooded

Replace Fey with the following

Orc: This chain of interlocking bones holds a dark red gem, burning with a inner light.
The wearer gains Fire resist 5, +4 on saving throws against fear and 3 times per day the wearer can touch a creature as a standard action, giving it a +4 morale bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and Will saving throws for 1 round.
Aura: Moderate Evocation; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item; Spells rage, remove fear, resist energy

## Claw Blades

When using a claw blade, your fingers are mostly exposed, allowing you to wield or carry items in that hand, but the constriction of the weapon at your knuckles gives you a –2 penalty on all precision-based tasks involving that hand (such as opening locks).

Claw blades alter the damage of the claw attack to slashing only. Claw blades can be enchanted as weapons and may use special materials, providing their benefits on attacks the character makes with her claws. A character can’t benefit from both claw blades and other items that provide enhancement bonuses or weapon special abilities (such as an amulet of mighty fists) on the same attack.

## Coldwarp Key

The major creation ability of this rod can create base metal items using the normal limitations of mundane crafting per day (100gp x effective Ranks in the appropriate Craft skill). Since the metals are drawn up from the underground locale, you do not need to expend the normal 30% cost in raw materials.

## Custom Magic Items

Only Paizo items, and items found in Magic Item are allowed. The exceptions to this are staves, upgraded specific weapons and armor, and combined items.

* Custom staves can be built to have any spells in them (rather than just the prebuilt staves presented). Use the standard formula for creating custom staves. The maximum number of charges required for a single spell is 3.
* You can purchase, craft, or upgrade already existing wondrous items to combine the abilities of multiple items that would normally take up the same body slot. To determine the price, start with the most expensive item, and then add 1.5 times the cost of every other item to be added, before subtracting the price of the already crafted item if there is one. Any items built in this way that exceed 175,000 gp must still be approved.
* You can purchase or craft magic items that combine the abilities of multiple wondrous items that would normally take up the same body slot. To determine the price, start with the most expensive item, and then add 1.5 times the cost of every other item to be added. Any items built in this way that exceed 175,000 gp must still be approved.
* When upgrading specific magic items that change based on the wielder, use the higher enhancement value for determining price and limit.

## Cyclops Helm

The cyclops helm ability (and any similar abilities granted through classes, feats and other items that "set" a die roll) is not considered a "natural 20" for the purposes of special abilities, such as vorpal,heart-piercing, etc, that function on a natural 20.

## Drugs

Drugs are in small supply and require players to notify an admin before purchase.

## Growing

Change to the following wording.

Once per day, a growing weapon is able to grow by one size category, dealing damage as appropriate for its new size and allowing its wielder to affect creatures one size larger than normal with combat maneuvers limited by size. The wielder is able to use the weapon normally without penalty despite its increased size. The weapon remains at its increased size for 10 minutes. **This does modify the handedness of a weapon. A one-handed weapon becoming a two handed weapon, and a two handed weapon becoming unwieldable.**

## Horn of Valhalla

Barbarians summoned by this item are not considered constructs and lose all construct traits. In addition, they use the statistics below.

## Inscribe Magical Tattoo

In addition to the magical tattoos presented, you may convert any wondrous item into a tattoo that takes up the same tattoo body slot that the item would normally take up. If there is no corresponding tattoo body slot, then it cannot be made into a tattoo. This increases the cost of the magic item by x1.5 rather than by x2.

## Impact

If *Gravity Bow* is used in place of *Lead Blades* this weapon property can be added to bows, crossbows, Firearms, or their ammunition.

This can now be applied to an Amulet of Mighty Fists for Natural Attacks.

## Poisons

Poisons are in small supply and require players to notify an admin before purchase.

## Weapon Modifications

Versatile Design cannot be applied to firearms nor be used to make the weapon into a Close weapon

## Mundane Crafting

You may craft mundane items at a rate of 100 gp x Modifier in Crafting Skill per day.

You need only spend 30% of the item’s final gp price in raw materials.

You may spend up to your effective ranks in Craft in Labor Capital to enhance your crafting speed. Every Labor you spend adds 20 gp to the amount of gp progress you make in a day.

You may craft any number of items per day, so long as you craft no more than the above limits on gp per day.

**Note:** You may not use the Instant Alchemy ability for mundane crafting with downtime. Swift alchemy does not let you craft any additional items in a day either (but does free up your day for more roleplay opportunities).

## Rapier

Damage type now does Piercing or Slashing damage

## Shadow Piercings

Shadow Piercings are considered evil items and give an evil aura based on the caster level of the item.

## Staff of the Hierophant

Remove the line "If 1 charge is expended (a free action), the staff deals double damage (×3 on a critical hit) for 1 round.", and reduce the cost to 195,000 GP

## Staff of Power

Remove the line "If 1 charge is expended (a free action), the staff deals double damage (×3 on a critical hit) for 1 round.", and reduce the cost to 210,000 GP

## Vest of Stable Mutations

This vest removes the penalty to physical ability scores caused by cognatogen as well.

## Weapon Groups

The Monk Weapon Group now includes all weapons with the Monk quality.
