Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
So...would I have to follow the rules for creating a Legacy Weapon as found in the book? Or could I just create a weapon that levels up appropriately, but fill it with my own abilities and balancing requirements, to actually come up with something worthwhile (legacy weapons as written pretty much suck)?
Ingredients
2oz Djinn
5oz Water
1 Lime Wedge
Instructions
Pour Djinn and tonic water into a glass filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with lime wedge. Serve.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Oh goodness no. You're asking if you like, have to use their rules they provide for making your own? Like how they have those lists of abilities? No.
The intention is, though, if you're making a legacy weapon, for you to do it the same way they've got legacy weapons currently set up, what with the requirements, and the rituals, and the penalties and such. But note that's just the intention, and D&D would suck if you had to do everything exactly as intended. Pretty much the only way I'd disqualify an entry is if someone's intentionally disregarding the rules, and entering a new Feather Token or some nonsense. Stretching the rules on what makes an acceptable entry is fine.
Still, I personally would appreciate it if people don't stretch the rules just for the sake of stretching them, yeah? I don't want to have to bring down the hammer.

Yeah, I completely forgot about all that nonsense. Sorry I didn't mention it originally.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
I find the voting categories to be brilliant!
I won't be participating, but surely will be watching!"I'd rather DM to nice heroes than powerful slashers."
Im a fan of dungeons.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Lappy9000, there *are* plenty of magic items that turn into constructs. Like that rug of "welcoming" that animates all the tassles as whips to attack anyone who isn't welcome, or something.
Which is to say, far be it from me to say you can't make an artifact bowl of potpourri that can perform various utility functions, one of which could be a defensive golem!
And Jogi, thank you! I tried to make them good ones, so it's nice of you to say that.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Hmm, I do need a Legacy Weapon for my homebrew martial discipline.
Is it acceptable if the Legacy Weapon created might require a quick skim over another piece of homebrew?Homebrew

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Perfectly acceptable! However, I'd suggest possibly quoting any especially relevant tidbits in the writeup, just in the interest of making it easier to read for anyone who's voting.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Hahahahahaha, Haarkla, I approve. Also, given lack of entries - probably my fault, picking a less-used sourcebook as the theme - I'm considering extending the deadline to May 31st. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Homebrew
Please feel free to PM me any thoughts on my homebrew (or comment in the thread if it's not too old).

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
No objections to an extension, though I'm glad I didn't know it was a possibility or I probably wouldn't have finished mine today.
I realize my "weapon" of legacy isn't, strictly speaking, a weapon, but its legacy was founded by a champion of a martial discipline based around grappling and I liked this better than a mancatcher or a set of scorpion claws.Homebrew

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Wow, I was working under the assumption that the deadline was the 31st. Hopefully, I can get everything in order between this contest and the current PrC contest before their respective end dates.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Yeah, I'm not really sure what possessed me to make it less than a month. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20!
And looks good, playswithfire! Looking forward to your entry, Thrice Dead Cat!

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
So, I may or may not have been incredibly lazy after exams this year. However, it's looking like I've got enough inspiration to mow through my intended Graft of Legacy within the remaining ~48 hours.
Also, bump.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
I've had the basic idea for a while, I just need to dump everything down into a solid mold. I blame the source material for liquidizing everything up until this point.
For the record, source is this:

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Congrats, Hyooz, on winning all three categories! Big win!
Next contest is up! This time I just went with a simple, descriptive title rather than trying to come up with something creative. I figure, if I'm gonna be changing what's being created each month, it should be easy for people to see what's being made this time.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Oooooh, damn. I know I've had ideas for substitution levels, but I can't think of anything right now. Time to go dig through some books to see if I can't spark those ideas.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
DaTedinator, I suggest you put links to your contest and the chat thread in your sig, just like ErrantX. It would be convenient.
(EDIT: I am apparently blind, but the chat thread would be nice too.)
I have an idea, and it may be up today.Last edited by Stompy; 2010-06-15 at 04:44 PM.

Re: Potpourri Creation Contest Chat Thread
Hey, substitution levels would be a perfect way to use the class features I've had bouncing around in my head all week!

I have my entry up. It needs some more fluff and some balance tweaks, but it for the most part is finished.
