Re: Half Elf outlaw from the future!
Cornucopia's energy cost is based on the cost of the ammo. So the energy requirements for a bullet from two tech levels ahead will be 200 times the dollar cost of that bullet at TL 6. The spell cost is 50X the dollar cost which will be 4X the list cost due to being in a lower TL setting. That means a TL 6 .38 Revolver from Basic Set will require 133 energy per round and they must be fired within one minute of loading them into the gun because they vanish one minute after leaving the casters hand. To fully load the gun would be 798 energy. To go this route requires a spell caster with a huge energy reserve or a huge power stone.

Re: Half Elf outlaw from the future!
Presumably, the cornucopia item was created in the future. If the game moved to a TL0 world, would the energy cost to create the cornucopia item make it suddenly unusable since the ammo is now priceless?
Also note, the energy cost for the cornucopie spell is to enchant the item. You don’t pay 100 fatigue for every arrow you draw from the quiver. The ammo-creation is free. |

Re: Half Elf outlaw from the future!
to clarify, the intent was yes, to have the skills to create guns normally. the idea being that in the future he worked for a small company that made firearms, but it went under so he ended up becoming a bandit and outlaw. and that magic is relatively commonplace, and used for industry (a-la Eberron) the idea was use magic to make guns quickly, and without proper tools or materials. I liked what I could do with transform object, I was just hoping I could find something that'd be a little longer lasting

Re: Half Elf outlaw from the future!
RAW the starting cash doesn't increase. I was planning on starting with the TL 5 revolver, and then using magic and skills to make tools to build better guns amd ammo for myself

Re: Half Elf outlaw from the future!
Given that he can churn out an unlimited number of futuristic weapons to sell there's no reason why he wouldn't be fantastically wealthy.
