Buying Furniture

[Gildedragon]

suggestion against self cleaning stuff: you want to show you can afford to pay people or for automatons to clean your stuff for you.

on the luxury as conspicuous consumption

intricate furniture made out of expensive materials that disintegrates after a few days (or cloth that does so)

wines made from necromantic grapes; must be picked in the dark of the night, and throughout the extraction, fermentation, aging, and bottling, the grapes are never exposed to light or positive energy; the bottle is made of fused darksand, the wine itself is sweet, with a faint taste of rot and time; the liquid is nearly black, with bright lavender tones, only a couple bottles are made each decade.

* +2 Seeking Distance golf driver

* Wallpaper is spellbook pages

* People leather

* Moulded ground beef + Flesh to Stone = fancy marble statue

* Reduced size (and sometimes intelligence) pet breeds/versions of magical creatures (look up fluffy unicorns and puffy griffins)

*Intelligent game table with at will prestidigitation ability (allowing conjuring of game pieces and boards and movement of game pieces)

[The Fury]

Also. One of those over-engineered Japanese toilets

Naw, I'd prefer one that functions like a normal toilet but with overwrought baroque styling. Like it was made for the palace of Versailles or something. Definitely enchanted to be self-cleaning.

[goto124]

Furniture that doesn't hurt when you stub your toe on them.

Why didn't I think of this earlier?

Also. One of those over-engineered Japanese toilets

Have been to Japan. Can confirm they're great stuff.

I planned something similar as a map display table, with illusions to project and some way of reading new maps that are placed on top of it.

My thoughts:
All of the fireplaces burn woods that release a pleasant fragrance, and is only found on the other side of the world. And there's different fragrances for different rooms.

All of the bed sheets, curtains and upholstery fabrics have thin strips of flowers woven in, and once the fragrance has worn off, they're discarded and replaced with new freshly woven ones.

If they hunt, their saddles, tack, riding boots and so on are made from rare animal leathers.

Blocks of ice in warm climates - freshly imported from the polar regions and magically preserved until they're required.

Dryad oaks.

A bed made from a Dryad oak, with the dryad still trapped within.

A perfectly evil entertainment for the BBEG who has everything.

[Bohandas]

-Balls for sporting events made from taxidermied and possibly magically reinforced animals. Like a slightly macabre Wonderland croquet game

-Table legs used to be horse legs

-Houseplant has it's real leaves covered in gold leaf

-Gold flakes/dust mixed in the food

-Fancy Marble stable

-Heating element is trained ash rat

-Silver cauldron/cookpot

EDIT:
-It's been pointed out to me that burnt out ioun stone + continual light = hands free torch

EDIT:

-For the evil consumer, "Cruelty Plus" products, made from animals that have, in addition to the standard factory farm treatment, been subjected to daily beatings, burnings, whippings, and cuttings completely unrelated to increasing output

[Bohandas]

-Magic Scroll wallpaper

-Partially reanimated tiger skin or bear skin rug

EDIT:

-Back scratcher is a taxidermied lion's leg

EDIT:

-Marble doghouse

[Bohandas]

Everything is great, minus the Unicorn and Pegasus glue. My guy worships Lurue and has a pet Unicorn.

Also, I will offer the money ideas to my DM tomorrow.

So how did this all work out, by the way?

-------------------------------------------------

Also, some more ideas:

-Sofa is mimic hireling

-Rapper jewelry on the statues

-Windows made of translucent gems

[Lvl 2 Expert]

Items carved by the last master of the ancient Dragonesian tradition, currently kept in your private soundproof basement.

I planned something similar as a map display table, with illusions to project and some way of reading new maps that are placed on top of it.

Mapy McMapface: Intelligent Greater Map of Tactics (Stronghold Builder's Guidebook p.80); Int 16 Wis 16 Cha 10; Speech, telepathy; 120 ft. darkvision and hearing; Lesser Powers: Lay of the Land 3/day, Scholar's Touch 3/day, Minor Image 3/day; Greater Powers: Locate Creature 3/day

Price 36000 + 9000 + 1,100 + 1100 + 6500 + 30000 = 83700 gp

EDIT:
And I'm still waiting to hear more about that campaign

[Beleriphon]

(I think the ketchup thing is a reference to something but I don't know what. I could potentially build a fort purely out of Dijon ketchup bottles, yes.)

SILENCE!!!

. . .

mohagony

The ketchup reference is to the Bare Naked Ladies song If I Had A Million Dollars where they reference buying a lot of ketchup, fancy ketchup, like dijon ketchup.

[Bohandas]

-Fancy sarcophagous, gravestone, or mausoleum that casts Speak With Dead and/or Contact Other Plane

-IIRC Greyhawk canon mentions the archmage Zagyg researching a way to construct buildings from fire, air, or water where normal buildings would be built of earth.

-Solid gold/silver/copper/other precious metal items enchanted to be partially transparent (at least on the outside; perhaps gradually increasing in opacity towards the interior), so that it can be visibly seen that the item is solid gold, rather than just gold plate or gold leaf

-Indoor plumbing. If other parts of the world already have Roman indoor plumbing, then modern indoor plumbing. If there;s already modern indoor plumbing then pipe in other things in addition to water; running milk, running chili, air, earth, fire, smoke, alcohol, ox blood for your god's shrine.

- The Prefects' Bathroom from Harry Potter. Fills up in no time at all for its size, and foams up just as quickly. Many types of magical foams and bubbles, all coming from a hundred gold taps surrounding the bathtub.

Alternatively it LOOKS like the Prefects' Bathroom but for a small plaque (Search DC 20) that reads "Made by Bergholt S. Johnson"

[braveheart]

A sphere of floating water (may or may not have a highly decorated ornate base made of semiprecious/precious metals or gems) that continuously casts a water breathing spell (whatever you think is nice) on anything inside the sphere. It is also always exactly the temperature that would make the being inside of it most comfortable.

[nedz]

Don't need furniture at all.

Just have a bound Djinn slave. Have it form itself into a chair, a bed or a table - whatever.

Also it can carry you upstairs, do the cleaning, laundry, whatever.

And fulfil your wildest desires - well three times a day.

Actually you might need several - if you have guests over, or just want to use a chair and a table at the same time.

[JohnnyCancer]

Mithril hinges, they never squeak or get stuck. Aging barrels for liquor made from Ents.

[Winter_Wolf]

That's either a blatant misspelling of the word "bonsai" or pure evil genius. Also, tiny, tiny heroes. Which may or may not be random strangers kidnapped off the street and shrunk by an evil wizard..

Banzai tree: the miniature beauty of the bonsai tree combined with the constant refrain, "banzai! Banzai! Banzai!" from the constant rustling of its tiny leaves. Clearly magical, possibly highly annoying. Probably a receiving room plant while your guests and callers wait on your pleasure. Set them up to alternate chanting with a different species of miniature plant that repeats your character's name.

More seriously, the hallway of infinite doors. Each door opens to a different location anywhere in the world (or multiverse, if you're adventurous and don't mind interplanar marauders from time to time.) the hallway is as long as it needs to be. Alternatively, a hub of such hallways, each wing themed however you like: "the best bakeries," "favorite wineries," "fondest alone time places," what you.

The elemental bath. From the plane of water only the finest water, with or without the equivalent of Epsom salts. Heated to perfection by heat from the plane of fire. Command words to cause a wonderful hot steam bath effect. Possibly something that causes tamed water elementals to be heated to the perfect temperature that will wash your back--or wherever--for you. Likewise a warm air elemental that will dry you and maybe even with some skill at hairdressing for a stylish wind blown look. Possibly earth elemental masseuses, but I might be a little leery of getting my back pummeled by a two ton masseuse.

I'm big on enslaving/taming/contracting elementals. I suspect I'd die in a most horrific fashion eventually.

, from getting your back pummeled by a two ton masseuse.

[MrZJunior]

Furniture made by intelligent rats, the carving is just so intricate. It would also take forever to make one piece so it would be quite valuable.

[Gildedragon]

Wood or bone furniture that has been allowed to petrify Or, even better, fossilize into opal

[Bohandas]

-Flameless forge that makes use of Heat Metal and [Ghorus Toth's] Metal Melt

-Flying chair or sofa so you never have to get up

-Building walls are all walls of force

[Bohandas]

*All the stone portions of the building - walls, fireplace, etc - are from the pelts of earth element templated animals

*everything menaces with spikes of quartz

*oxygen bar supplied with o2 by means of air-element template chicken farm


EDIT:
*condiments from other planes. Djinn mustard.

[Bohandas]

What happened to this campaign? I'm curious to know.

Anyway...

*A narghile connected to the paraelemental plane of smoke

*Tubular mattress enchanted to so that gravity is redirected outward so you can roll arou d and around and around and although you may eventually wind up on the top looking down you'll never fall off

*What initially appears to be a stained glass window is actually made out of gemstones

*Decanter of endless wine

*Ice sculptures made out of holy water

*Waterbed filled with holy water

*Waterbed filled with wine

*Waterbed filled with water-element templated animals

*petals of rare flowers as a filling for pillows

*beer-drinking-hat type thing, but with fine wine.

*pancake toppings distilled from the blood of treants

*Doorknob is a giant pearl

[Ibraoum]

A tamed Mimick, it can change into any piece of furniture you wish, but you have to feed it once in a while.

Imported directly from Bad Blintz? Their clocks are quite remarkable, from what I am told.

[Bohandas]

Pieces of glassware made out of enormous flawless sapphires instead of glass

[RPG Factory]

...an enchanted mug of meed on your table... Ahhh finished... ooo.. ooo look it's full again!
