had an idea for the incarnadine elven chain; swap crimson chain for red dragon scales.
Making it:
Sylvan Chain
Red Dragon Scales
Andar Gems [--- if you read the description of these gems, it says they glow green and red; a nice touch I think
Fire Agate Gems [--- these too
25,000 gold
Incarnadine Elven Chain
AC0
+25%FR
Glows red and green (as aslyferund glows yellow and green)
Edit: Weakened it a bit and removed ring of prot +3. Any abilities on top of what it already has seems overpowered.

first of all thx for the explanation, it clarified alot.
maybe addiing the amulet of power as a component
and a ring of protection+1 or +2 but it will not have another effect than just augmenting the enchantment of the chain to AC0 (together with the red dragon scales)
still AC0
negativeplane protection
fr 25%
+5% MR
-1 to casting speed
The customization is something I'm liking alot , is drooling to get his hands on the item ()
maybe even dropping the 5% MR cause the chain is already rather powerfull , but the obvious reason why I'm giving this is because i hate reremembering my spells after a fight with vampires (grmbl , if I had a rocket they would have been shot to the moon , thinks about it a while , better make it sun, then they return to dust "evil grin")
REMARK : And think about it , you are using a very unique item (heavily enchanted) as an ingredient , do tha netto result wouldn't be that unbalancing
This is for the good side (was a thought) (So if you are good)
Then we were thinking for the bad side only (so if you were evil)
REMARK : maybe for making these chains adding a reputation requirement for example: good 20 , bad 2 (not 1 bacause normally they don't sell you anything anymore)
On the case off the human flesh armor , this is already upgraded in the itemupgrademod so i don't know if it will be better that that will be altered, but i will make an attempt .
maybe saying that due to the dragons blood there where pieces of the flesh that have been dissolved into the chainmail making it possible to hold on the one hand the strongness and advantages of the drowchain and on the other hand expanded it with a little bit of the advances from the normal upgrade(human flesh+5) and made it resistant to the surface light.
You could picture the chainmail as some trobbing and beating piece of meath (aka flesh) on some places and on the other places there are only straps as black as the night . And cespenar then can later put in the soulstone of malla , thats at your own leisure. But if you do it the armor leeds its own life , it speaks to you (strange , but it is telepatically or it establish contact with your sinews and communicates on this way)
put what i pictured at this moment is :
drowchain+5 (better name must be founded, but first the global characteristics)
AC=0
savingthrows -1
+15% magicresistance
-1 to casting speed
+1 to each spelllevel (0 --> 6)
-3 charisma
-2 dexterity
-5 hp
+1 intelligence (extra effect off the noble silver dragonblood)
only evil and reputation of 9 and lower to make the upgrade possible , if the reputation ever comes above this the armor will just deupgrade(or lose one of its enchantments , because the other is a little bit drastic)
souly drowchain+5
the same as in the above except
-3 charisma --> -6 charisma
-2 dex becomes -1 dex
+1 str, +1 const, +2 intel(so in total it is +2),+1 wis
negative plane protection
-15 hp
+1 to thaco
only evil and reputation off 6 and lower
more susceptible to death attacks (for example normally a deathsavingthrow off 4, now one off
(but with the -2 to savings throws it actually comes down to +2)
But like i said before just an idea cause it is one heck of a powerchain ,so let the brainstorming commence
Now because you wanted to make also one for goodalligned people, I didn't add the melodic chain otherwise go right ahead , the other requirements are pretty much the same as before , 45000 gold ,protection from magic , chain contingency/spell sequencer/spelltrap, a roque stone/emerald and a diamond.
now the second upgrade (with malla's stone) uses another 60000 gold pieces , protection from undead, a special necklace (normally used to get a lot of money"not a pearl necklace but the other expensive one" and a roque stone)
REMARK this bad one was just a thought, must be weakened a lot (but only added to get the ball rolling)
THEN we added something of a plate
REMARK is for single class fighters only (has nothing to do with the chainmail)
Now about the plate ,
from Renmauzo
Actually I never thought of merging human flesh with other armor, but like you said it does make some kind of sense--for an evil person.
This is off topic a bit, but since you got me thinking about it-- I can imagine mixing human flesh with drow plate:
Human Flesh
Drow Plate +5 --> this is actually generic plate+5
Blood of the Silver Dragon
Liums journal of malevolent magics
Horn Coral Gem
Black Opal
Skull of Death
Malefic Plate
ac -2
immunity to death magic
can cast death fog 1/day
10% MR
Now Me again,
is that full plate or a very highly enchanted version of the normal plate ? And is it for single class fighters only ?
Because if so my Sarevok is going to make a little flikflak together with a nice victorydance in hell "ehe"
If it is full plate i'm alright with it , cause for a fighter i never use something else except naturally in the beginning of the game or if I'm not allowed to use it (for example kensai , berserker)
REMARK : it is a ordinary plate --> -3 to slashing attacks , nothing else
Now on the hand of wat the abilities have to be before you can wear the chain ?
15 Str ,10dex,16int ,12 wis
for the plate:
at least 18 str , 14dex,con10(due to the hide inside , less chafing --> no fatigue).
Or what do you guys/girls think
Renmauzo : looks fine , but didn't realy thought about it
Thx for letting your minds ponder over these possible upgrades
And to be complete legal: "adding the writers , so giving credits" (hehe)
