Ive looked around , and I hope this isnt posted somewhere ( but if it is a link would be handy ) What does it take to create the different types of Magical Arms ..... for example , what do I need to create a Flaming Holy Sword ? I have a Chaotic Evil Cleric of Vecna , and a Chaotic Evil Wizard , but at level 7 the only options that light up for Arms is +1 , +2 and +3 ....... Does the creator have to have a certain alignment to create the different "alignment " qualities , and do I need certain spells to make the " element " qualities ? thanks
Yes, and yes. For example, to create a holy weapon, your character must be a good cleric. To create a flaming sword, your character must be a wizard with the Burning Hands spell. IIRC, your wizard must also be at least 8th level, though I could be wrong about that.
Here's my faq on the subject: http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/temple_of_elemental_evil_crafting.txt You can find info on the exact prices here: http://d20srd.org/index.htm
IMO, not really. If you have the gold and XP to spare, and the right spells, you should be able to craft what you want.
Yeah, I don't think it's a biggie. Plus, crafting is such a huge part of ToEE (moreso than in PnP), I'd say cutting the player a break here is okay.
