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.

## Amulet of the Blooded

Add the following option to the amulet

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

## Bracers of Armor

Bracers of Armor have a maximum Dexterity bonus of +12.

## Celestial Plate Armor

Maximum dexterity bonus has been reduced to +4, following this the price has been reduced to 25,000 GP

## 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).

## 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.

## Culverin

Replace the description with the following: "The culverin, also known as a hand bombard, consists of a simple smoothbore tube, sealed at one end except for a small hole used to ignite a gunpowder charge. A wooden stock partially encases the barrel, allowing you to hold it under your arm with relative ease when carrying it. Firing a culverin without support (such as a wall, a window, or a stand) imposes a –4 penalty on attack rolls, and knocks you prone. It takes a standard action to set up a stand. A culverin uses 4 doses of black powder and grapeshot (a handful of pellets) as ammunition and has a 20-foot range increment when firing a bullet."

## Custom Magic Items

Only Paizo items, and items found in Category: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 magic 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 200,000 gp must still be approved.
* You can purchase or craft magic items that 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. Any items built in this way that exceed 200,000 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 saving throws, attack rolls, and special abilities, such as vorpal,heart-piercing, etc, that also function on a natural 20.

## Drugs

### Weapon Modifications

Versatile Design cannot be applied to firearms.

## 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.

## Longsword

This item deals piercing AND slashing damage.

## 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).

## Scarf of the Suggestive Dance

Also augments the Dancer's Beguiling Dance ability.

## 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.
