Re: My take on 3e helms

A note on the Craft Portal feat.

In the 3.5 upgrade, they removed that feat and created a Portal Master
feat (I'm not quite sure of the name) in the Player's Guide to Faerun
book. The reasoning was that Craft Wondrous Item was good enough for the
creation of portals.

The Portal Master feat (or whatever its called) cuts the cost of portal
creation. I think it would be better to go with this model. YMMV.

A few comments on Craft Wondrous Item in relation to helms.

In the Stronghold Builders Guide (A book that has a lot on wondrous
architecture which can be transposed to SJ) they include the Craft Portal
feat. This feat allows you to create a permanent gate to another plane in
your stronghold. It also requires a caster level of 17. Something like this
would, IMHO, be far mnore appropriate for making helms than Craft Wondrous
Item.

Helms are extremely powerful magic, I would say minor artifact level. They
are only so common because of the Arcane (or Mercane if you prefer).

I will try to write up a sample Craft Helm feat later, but dinner just
arrived and I am starving!
