D&D 3e/3.5e/d20The forum for conversations specifically related to the rules and procedures of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, 3.5 Edition, or any fantasy game using the d20 system or a variant thereof (commercially published or not).
Ranks in Profession: Something boring or disturbing. I loose my gear, the table gets a lesson where tanneries get some of the chemicals they use on hides or the day to day operations of a fish and cabbage stall.
Most classes are gear dependent. If a DM wants to bring a game to a grinding halt, that is okay with me. I'll earn it back a few copper at a time.
I'm imagining an All warforged society in which even gold pieces have been made as warforged components, so that the warforged walk around paying for other components for themselves with bits of their shirt.
Gives a new meaning to "costs an arm and a leg", no?

No, all Warforged just need the slot-machine attachment.

He may well be running around with flat out total immunity to harm, he does not walk outside without an entire bevy of defensive magics around him and enough magic items to buy himself a nation.

That it does. The poor from such a society would be left with barely a leg to stand on.

It's not using the custom item rules at all. Warforged Components are perfectly legit (straight out of ECS, no changes), it explicitly says any item can be one, and you don't even need a special feat; anyone can make Warforged Components.
The last time I got pickpocketed at our home table was on my Cleric of Hextor who had a habit of walking around everywhere with a held charge on the highest Inflict spell he could cast.
Got pickpocketed 10ft off the ship in a new town by a little orphan kid and won the Spot vs Sleight of Hand roll...DM says "You feel something tug at your coin purse, and your hand reflexively darts out and grabs the wrist of a small child with his hand in your pouch."
I literally said ""
DM goes, "Oh."
That was 2 years ago.

Funny, I've had a similar situation before, only it was with Necrotic Cyst, not Inflict. Let the little scamp think he got away with a creepy smile at him. A block away (and a 7-th level spell slot from me), he suddenly felt compelled to come back and give me my coins back. And then ended up as the talk of the town when he blew himself up and almost killed the captain of the guard the next day (slow adventuring day, I had a few spare spell slots).
On a more on-topic note, a thing I've bound useful for guarding my stuff is useless minions. The same Enveloping Pit that holds my stuff also holds all the zombies, skeletons, or other undead made from creatures that aren't a match for things now. Keep them in the pit, leave them with instructions to deal with anyone trying to remove things from the bag that aren't you. Even when they come out of your command, the undead follow their last given instructions, so it's all right as long as you don't need your party members to get something from it.Incorporeal guardians are useful because you can shove them anywhere, without regard for space issues.
