Infiltration Belt

Post by vawton » Wed Jan 06, 2021 4:13 am

Always love to see new craft-able gear; always a highlight for those of use into the merchant RP. But, I'm curious why the new Infiltration Belt has a dwarven rune on it? There's no explanation for it in the description and seems like the creator might have made a mistake.

Pure flavour - why wouldn't it be dwarven?

Frankly all magic items should require dwarven incantations. Then have them as an item craftable only for dwarves (duergar dont count) using writing paper and snot.

Dwarves generate snot every tick. Snot will fill up backpacks if left unchecked and must be dropped or wiped on surfaces if the supply grows too large.

I expect this to generate a colossal amount of rp.

Not every infiltrator has a DEX build. Maybe the belt should provide a CON bonus by default.
DEX builds could still enchant it with their primary stat via the rune, and other characters with the stat they need most.

2 Displacer Hide
5 Pots of Dirt (Under Herbalism)
1 Silver Ingot
6 Spider Silk
Hrm. I recall that was supposed to be the recipe. I'll take a look at it and maybe altar it later if I can. Good catch.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

Then you'd have almost every character wearing it despite the fact it's clearly supposed to fit a particular idiom.

Ehh, not really. It's really not that great of an item, be it with a +1 CON or a +1 DEX bonus.

Pretty good item. +4 bonus. 2 main stats + slapping on a masterwork for whatever you want.
