Um...I apologized...at the end.

Anyway, the language of gilleonaire is still a bit unclear. I'm pretty sure that the item only doubles coins, something that you should specify unless you intend for players to double gems, art items, and magic items (could you honestly imagine a party finding a ring of three wishes and giving it to the gilleonaire to double it.)

also, although not quite true to the ability, I'd put a once per round limitation on dodging damage through evade and counter. It would still be plenty powerful.

Done & done.

Armor Abilities
These equipment abilities can be grafted onto a piece of armor. The “wearer” refers to the character currently using or possessing the weapon. Abilities are only active while the wearer actually wears the weapon; taking off an armor negates its abilities until it is worn again. Armors can only hold 1-4 special abilities (these are known as ability “slots”).

NOTE: Under each weapon ability is 3 means to add such the ability to a weapon (designated #1, #2, & #3, respectively).

• Method #1 refers to the standard D&D way of adding abilities to magic item; IE the feats & spells needed to graft the ability, along with the required caster level.
• Method #2 refers to the typical way on Spira (a setting in which there are no spells, per se) of doing the same; IE the feats & class features needed to graft the ability.
• Method #3 refers to another Spiran way of doing the same; IE using a Spellcraft check (DC10 + (price bonus ×5)) to fuse the specific listed objects into the magic item, imbuing it with the desired property; failing the check by less than 5 allows the caster to reuse the objects in a later fusion attempt, while failing the check by more than 5 ruins the objects).

Any of the 3 methods is acceptable for accomplishing this, but it is recommended that only one these means be used within a particular campaign setting.

[Soup of Kings]

Ah...ARMOR abilities...

Okay, ignore my last post. And, for being an idiot, someone please hit me. Hard. Serious, I'll be helpless and everything. Coup de grace.

[Realms of Chaos]

Okay, let's look at the armor abilities (relax. I dulled my sharp tongue quite a bit).

Autoprotect: I think that the item modifier honestly needs to be pushed a little higher. for a +3 bonus, you can gain DR 5/magic (armor of invulnerability). I don't think that a +5 bonus is quite worth a DR 12/-.

Autoreflect: This looks underpriced again. For a +5 bonus, you can normally gain a spell turning effect once per day (shield of reflecting). Even though this makes healing bounce off as well, it still seems a bit powerful.

Autoshell: Looks underpriced. Normally, a +5 bonus gains a magimum of SR 18 while this can grasp SR 30. Yikes.

Subnote: Autoprotect, autoregen, and autoshell all have a strange similarity that seems somewhat abberant among magic items. Usually, magic items don't increase in potency as you gain levels (instead giving fixed values). However, both for the effects of these abilities and for the saving throws allowed by your weapon abilities, your level plays a big part. If the imitated status abilities require HD to be a factor, one thing you could do is say that the armor functions as if its wearer possessed a set number of hit dice.

Berserkproof/Berserk ward: while other proofs and wards use the word prevent, these abilities use the word break. Is this a mere typo or does the armor have a chance to break the effect each round.

Deathproof/Death ward: I strongly suggest replacing the words non-magical with other. Don't forget that death by ultima or firaga is techically death through magical means.

The various Wards/Proofs/and Eaters: These seem drastically underpriced for what they do. Keep in mind that gaining energy resistance 30 costs 66k (which is more than the cost to make a +8 suit of armor).

HP/MP stroll: While your method certainly works, it is also quite easy to abuse (a player could pace back and forth). What I'd do is let them heal HP or MP equal to their Con modifier for each hour of continued movement and give a +4 bonus on Con checks to continue a forced march.

Pickpocket/Master thief: I take these abilties to mean that items will no longer be rolled for in the same way (as table 3-5 from the DMG has no option for "rare items"). Seems okay, though.

Ribbon: Although the word block suffices in this case, I ask once more that you replace it with the word prevent to keep consistancy between this and all similar abilities.

SOS Regen: This item, ironically, is overpriced. Remember, the fast healing turns off the moment you exceed 10% of your health. You could easily lower the bonus to +3 (and perhaps even to +2).

Lastly, why would items with Defense +3% or Magic Defense +3% ever be made or destributed when similar items giving +5% bonuses could be made for the same price? It may be worth breaking away from the source material to just get rid of the +3%s.

Now I'm asking myself why I passed over this the last few days I've seen it... This is awesome! Great job! I haven't gotten a chance to read it in-depth yet, but I would actually use this in a campaign if my players would let me.

On a side note, I'm not the best at game balance, but I do have my own skills to offer. How would you like all this compiled into a .pdf?

[Zeta Kai]

RoC: Most of your suggestions have been implemented.

Daracaex: If you wanted to make a .PDF of this, I wouldn't stop you, but this project is far from complete. Of the 275+ pages (in MS Word) that I've written so far, I've posted about 81, plus most of the tables. This project is continually being expanded & edited, so you should probably wait before compiling it into a PDF.

[Realms of Chaos]

One thing that I think you might have forgotten is the actual enhancement bonuses of the legendary weapons. In order to have any special abilities, a weapon needs at least +1 enhancement bonus. I don't know whether I could, in good conscious, recommend scaling the bonus up as you gain levels (if you want a weapon with a total bonus of +16 in special abilities, being forced to use a +1 weapon at 20th level might be a suitable price to pay).

Just letting you know I'll do it for you once you're done. I'll definitely keep checking this, but drop me a PM when you want a .pdf.

[Soup of Kings]

Maybe you should rephrase the legendary weapon descriptions to read "When fully unlocked with the _____ Crest and the _____ Sigil..."

Unless you were planning to address that later. IIRC, you need both for the final form, and people might ignore the Crests the way you've written it.

Also, if you want more pictures for this I can go hunting and spare you some work. I'm pretty sure this is all fair use, and if you were going to get in any trouble I don't think it would be any worse if I nabbed some pictures from the interweb for it...but it's your call.

Items
Alchemical Items & How to Make Them

Spoiler

Show

Alchemical items are one-time-use magical substances, meant to confer a spell-like effect when used; this makes them similar to potions. The primary difference between the two is that potions are liquids which can only be ingested, whereas alchemical items are usually solids which can be ingested, inhaled or applied to the skin, depending on the nature of the item itself.

Another major difference is that alchemical items require a central ingredient to function, regardless of the spells involved; without this key ingredient, an alchemical item cannot be made. This ingredient does not always have any monetary value, but costly ingredients are factored into the price of the item. Although some ingredients are extremely rare &/or difficult to obtain, only ingredients with a well-defined market value are factored into the price of the item.

The creator of an alchemical item needs a level working surface & at least a few containers in which to mix substances, as well as a source of heat to cook the concoction. In addition, he needs ingredients. The costs for materials & ingredients are subsumed in the cost for crafting the item: (25GP × the level of the spell × the level of the caster) + the cost of the key ingredient, if any.

All ingredients & materials used to craft an alchemical item must be fresh & unused. The character must pay the full cost for crafting each item (economies of scale do not apply).

The user of the item is both the caster & the target. Spells with a range of personal cannot be made into potions.

The creator must have prepared the spell to be placed in the item (or must know the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard) & must provide any material component or focus the spell requires.

If casting the spell would reduce the caster’s XP total, the creator pays the XP cost upon beginning the crafting in addition to the XP cost for making the item itself. Material components are consumed when he begins working, but a focus is not (a focus used in crafting an alchemical item can be reused). The act of crafting triggers the prepared spell, making it unavailable for casting until the character has rested & regained spells (that is, that spell slot is expended from his currently prepared spells, just as if it had been cast). Crafting an alchemical item requires 1 day.

Item Creation Feat Required: Craft Alchemical Item.

New Feat:
Craft Alchemical Item [Item Creation]

Spoiler

Show

Prerequisite: Caster level 3rd.
Benefit: You can create an alchemical item of any 9th level or lower spell that you know & that targets 1 or more creatures. Crafting an alchemical item takes 1 day. When you craft an alchemical item, you set the caster level, which must be sufficient to cast the spell in question & no higher than your own level. The base price of an alchemical item is 50GP × the level of the spell × the level of the caster. To craft an alchemical item, you must spend 1/25th of this base price in XP & use up raw materials costing ½ this base price.

When you craft an alchemical item, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever uses an alchemical item is the target of the spell. Any alchemical item that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when crafting the alchemical item.

[Realms of Chaos]

As sorry as I am to poke another hole in FFX's reality, it is only common sense that any item that can be sold can be bought back. As such, each of the items should get a market price and method of creation.

Otherwise, I dare you to try explaining to players how a random fiend came to be carrying an item that it is not only completely incapable of using but that cannot be made by the most powerful of mortals.

If you want a price basis, figure the price of the actual item in DnD and compare this price to that of its selling price in FFX (because I'm pretty sure you can sell megapotions and such) x 2 (because an item costs twice as much as what it sells for) before using the higher of the two values.

Edit: I now see the line saying that all other items have a strictly negotiable value. Even so, you may want to provide a baseline price (for the sake of starting negotiations if nothing else) and provide some way for mortals to make it. In the case of megapotions (which are obviously intended as medicine) for example, it makes little sense that the most powerful of mortals would be unable to create such an item while a random fiend may be carrying one around. If you want, require epic caster levels for their creation.

[Soup of Kings]

Maybe short descriptions of what the items actually are or what they look like? Since I can't imagine anyone inhaling a feather, especially when unconscious. Is it a Mega-Phoenix, what, a bunch of powdered Phoenix Down? And so on for all the other ones that might need clarification.

Just trying to help.

[littlechicory]

Remedy costs less than Soft but is more useful (cures more status issues)?

[Zeta Kai]

Alright, you guys caught me. I was gonna totally skim over the items & just move on past them because item design (& especially item creation design) is not my specialty. But you got me red-handed, so I overhauled the items, adding a means of creating such things & detailing the requirements & price for each one. There you go. I have many more items on the way, so I'll be working on apply these rules to those objects as well.

As for descriptions, I may come back here & add them, but I've been even busier than usual (RL stuff, don'tcha know). Besides, there are actually no visual representations for these items in the game, & the effects are... abstract, to say the least. I imagine that a Chocobo Feather uses an actual bird feather in its construction, but I'm not sure precisely how.

More to come! Thank you, & sorry!

EDIT: I've made a minor edit to the items entry above. I added a note about ingredients, & I've also added key ingredients for each item.

[Daracaex]

Are you planning on bringing over FFX's alternative form of turn order? I always thought that might be interesting to see pulled into a D&D game.

[Realms of Chaos]

You may want to try pricing some of those items by comparison. It makes no sense, for example, that a supreme gem costs twice as much as dark matter while only dealing half as much damage.

Also, although characters from regular DnD can now make these items, characters from this setting cannot (I don't believe that the spells harm or slay living, for example, are available to summoners or black mages).

1) Dark Matter has been fixed; that was a mistake on my part. I'm checking the others; they mostly look okay. If you see any other suspected errors, please PM me so that I may fix them. You can also PM me with other suggestions, especially if you have fluff text for FFX monsters, as I've been wracking my brain on monster crunch.

2) Nothing gets past you, does it, RoC? You are correct; I have completely neglected to provide item-creation routes for the FFX classes in this setting. This is actually intentional. The PCs in FFX cannot create alchemical items; they merely find them & use them to make other things (such as magical weapons & armor, hence the multiple item creation methods for those items). I provided a means for more traditional D&D spellcasting classes to create such things, as it would only be right to do so. But since the classes of Spira lack true spellcasting ability, it was easy to ensure that they could not make them, & therefore stay more in line with the game. I intend to provide an alternative treasure entry for each monster, detailing the alchemical items that they typically carry. It may not completely make sense, but I think that is part of the game's charm.

Event Items
These extremely rare minor artifacts can never be bought in stores. They are usually one-of-a-kind relics with a specific purpose, often unlocking an extraordinary weapon of legendary power (which is in itself a major artifact). Other than that, most of these have little practical use.

Coming soon: Overdrives!

While I see the fun of keeping their in-game effects a secret from characters who do not meet the required Arcana check, you really should provide the information for the GMs. ;)

Other than that, it's coming along pretty well and I'm still looking forward to Blitzball.

Actually, if read carefully, one can find use for Other Items here & here. Also, I kind of like the idea of leaving the use of some magic items for the individual DMs to decide for their own campaigns. I think it's fun to have some mysterious McGuffins in a game setting. Besides, in the game, those items had no use other than unlock spells or abilities.

For some, yes, it implies there use. Not all the items are used in item creation, however, such as the key spheres. Those, at least, should have their uses defined along with the item. At the very least, I'd include a note about their use in item creation for those where it is appropriate, for completeness because it seems unprofessional to have an entry of an item include only its name, even if its use is implied elsewhere (it just looks incomplete).

Overdrives
NOTE: The following section is an updated & revised version of the information presented in Final Fantasy Limit Breaks. It is recommended that you use the rules presented here for FFX-related Overdrives, as opposed to the older version, because significant improvements & clarifications have been made.

Rules Overview
Each PC (& a select few eligible NPC’s) accrues Overdrive Points (OP’s) under certain conditions. Once they have accrued 100 OP’s, they can then spend them to power an Overdrive, which is a special ability (usually an attack) of amazing power. Unless otherwise noted, all Overdrives take 1 full-round action to execute, they ignore damage reduction (DR), they never provoke attacks of opportunity (AoO), & only allow saving throws if specifically noted. All such Overdrives cost 100 OP’s to use, & a PC cannot accrue more that 100 OP’s.

Conditions
Initially for PC’s, the default condition for accruing OP’s is Stoic (Gain 2 OP each round in which you are successfully dealt damage by an opponent; physical, magical, & psionic injuries count, while wounds received from traps, environments, etc. do not). Accrual conditions can only be changed when a character gains a level. The conditions under which one can accrue OP’s can be chosen from the following list:

Spoiler

Show

• Warrior: Gain 2 OP each round in which you successfully deal damage to an opponent
• Healer: Gain 2 OP each round in which you successfully heal damage of an ally; healing oneself does not count
• Comrade: Gain 1 OP each round in which one of your allies are successfully dealt damage by an opponent; physical, magical, & psionic injuries count, while wounds received from traps, environments, etc. do not; you must designate no more than 5 allies that this applies toward; all other allies do not count; this list can only be changed if a designated ally leaves the party (no communication) for more than 24 hours
• Slayer: Gain 5 OP each round in which you successfully kill an opponent
• Victor: Gain 3 OP each round in which your party successfully kills an opponent; you must designate no more than 5 allies that this applies toward; all other allies do not count; this list can only be changed if a designated ally leaves the party (no communication) for more than 24 hours
• Tactician: Gain 4 OP each round in which you successfully bestow a negative condition on an opponent; negative conditions include the standard D&D set (blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, turned or unconsciousness resulting from a sleep effect) & the FFX Status Effects set; no other conditions count
• Hero: Gain 5 OP each round in which you successfully kill an opponent using a coup de grace maneuver, or whenever you kill an opponent by dealing damage that is 5× (or more) your opponent’s current HP
• Ally: Gain 1 OP each time it is your turn in combat
• Daredevil: Gain 4 OP each time it is your turn in combat & your current HP is 10% or less than your maximum HP
• Solo: Gain 4 OP each time it is your turn in combat & you are the only active combatant on your side; all allies are either not present, dead, disabled, dying, petrified, sleeping, staggered, unconscious or otherwise helpless
• Coward: Gain 3 OP each time you successfully run from a combat situation; initiative must be rolled, your opponents must have made at least 1 attempt to attack, & you must succeed in completely evading the opponent; opponents who succeed in catching up with you & engaging you in combat later negate this
• Dancer: Gain 4 OP each round in which you successfully evade an attack from an opponent; attacks that would normally hit you if your armor bonus were lower do not count toward this, nor do attacks that hit but fail to deal any damage (due to DR, SR, & the like)
• Rook: Gain 2 OP each round in which you successfully counteract a negative condition on yourself or an ally, or your negate damage from an element-based attack; negative conditions include the standard D&D set (blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, turned or unconsciousness resulting from a sleep effect) & the FFX Status Effects set; no other conditions count
• Sufferer: Gain 2 OP each round in which you acquire a negative condition dealt by an opponent; negative conditions include the standard D&D set (blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, turned or unconsciousness resulting from a sleep effect) & the FFX Status Effects set; no other conditions count
• Victim: Gain 4 OP each time it is your turn in combat & you possess a negative condition dealt by an opponent; negative conditions include the standard D&D set (blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, turned or unconsciousness resulting from a sleep effect) & the FFX Status Effects set; no other conditions count
• Avenger: Gain 6 OP each round in which an opponent successfully kills a member of your party; you must designate no more than 5 allies that this applies toward; all other allies do not count; this list can only be changed if a designated ally leaves the party (no communication) for more than 24 hours

Aw, overdrives are way rarer in this than the game. Slayer gave you 20% per kill (not even just 20% in a turn in which you kill a thing or multiple things). Admittedly, that may have been a little too much as I recall using Energy Rain or whatever every other round against the sin spawn on the ship near the beginning of the game (kill four of them, get 80%, kill one, overdrive, etc.).

Yes, the actual Overdrive gauges in the game filled 4× as quickly. I reduced them by 75% for game balance reasons, as I thought that frequent Overdrives would either break the game, or need to be massively nerfed. Since the über-powerful Overdrives are too much fun to mess with, I decided they would better serve the game (& the player) as a rare & special treat. As it is, they may still be too powerful. I dunno; I worked out some math on them, & they probably won't break the game, especially using the classes in this setting.

um, hi.

I was looking over this, and I have to say, I LOVE IT!

but, looking at the summoner class and potential problems with multiclassing...

In the games, anyone could go into Yuna's sphere section and get the healing spheres... BUT nobody but her could summon anything.

I know it make take a little review and work, but why not have a White Mage class instead for the reflect, dispel, and cure stuff?

and then have a "Summoner" template (or whatever) that can be added to any class. In the game it never says that all summoners were white mages. Some of the ones you meet actually seem to lean toward black mage, and other summoners in stories about Spira's past seem like they were some type of "fighter"...

-----

Also, I noticed something prevalent. RoC's advice, while extremely well thought-out and quite sagely, keeps seeming like he's saying these classes would be in typical DnD encounters and situations.

I may be wrong, but it seems like Zeta intends this to be "stand-alone" from other DnD concepts, and PC's with these classes would never encounter something from the Monster Manual. i.e., a Lancer could never multiclass to other classes outside this setting like "Fighter" or PrCs. A PC from FFX D20 would never run into Dryad or Tarrasque.

One time in particular RoC spoke about a lvl 11 Bandit's encounter with a Marilith and the use of Spare Change. Ignoring that under my previous assumption this would never EVER happen, FF monsters drop things of value very rarely and a bandit would never be able to consolidate his loss with the tactic you mentioned. In DnD, the Spare Change ability, as it was first conceived, would be incredibly broken, agreed. BUT let's wait til he puts up some FF/DnD monster examples before saying what's completely acceptable in terms of the classes's abilities.

Also, on something else, if the status effects are as prevalent in this setting as they are in FF when it comes to the monster's abilities, low costs for recovery potions and such may be perfectly acceptable; in fact, an easy-to-use life spell may be invaluable if the PCs in this game are expected to die as much as the characters in FF often do.

Yes, & I thought of this, so I made sure that unlocking Aeons would be a minor hassle for each one, so that only a dedicated Summoner would bother. This, I believe, should prevent most instances of level-dipping from PCs who just wanna summon Aeons while not actually sticking with the Summoning class. They could still do so, but the level-dippers would still have to unlock their own Aeons, & they could only summon once per day, whereas a dedicated Summoner can work themselves up to 5 times per day.

Also, your 2 points contradict each other. You say that I should cull the summoning mechanic out of the Summoner on the grounds that PCs could just take a level dip to get it, & then you mention canonical cases (such as Seymour, Mi'ihen & Gandof) that exemplify this very same kind of multi-classing.

No, removing summoning from Summoner would present some major design issues (just when I got this thing mostly hammered down), & I don't see a reason to so, based on your reasoning.

Edit: My thoughts on FFX D20's potential compatibility with standard D&D can be found here & here. Brief re-cap: I still fully intend for this to be a stand-alone setting, but I'm also attempting to design the whole thing so that any of these races/classes/Aeons/items/etc could fit into a "normal" D&D campaign without causing major issues.
