'''Codex of the Infinite Planes: '''The ''Codex'' is enormous—supposedly, it requires two strong men to lift it. No matter how many pages are [[SRD:Turned|turned]], another always remains. Anyone opening the ''Codex ''for the first time is utterly annihilated, as with a ''[[SRD:Destruction|destruction]] ''spell ([[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 30 for only 10d6 damage). Those who survive can peruse its pages and learn its [[SRD:Powers|powers]], though not without risk. Each day spent studying the ''Codex ''allows the reader to make a [[SRD:Spellcraft Skill|Spellcraft]] check ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 50) to learn one of its [[SRD:Powers|powers]] (choose the power learned randomly; add a +1 circumstance bonus on the check per additional day spent reading until a power is learned). However, each day of study also forces the reader to make a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will]] save ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 30 + 1 per day of study) to avoid being driven insane (as the ''[[SRD:Insanity|insanity]] ''spell). The [[SRD:Powers|powers]] of the ''Codex of the Infinite Planes ''are as follows: ''[[SRD:Astral Projection|astral projection]], [[SRD:Banishment|banishment]], [[SRD:Elemental Swarm|elemental swarm]], [[SRD:Gate|gate]], [[SRD:Greater Planar Ally|greater planar ally]], [[SRD:Greater Planar Binding|greater planar binding]], [[SRD:Plane Shift|plane shift]], ''and ''[[SRD:Soul Bind|soul bind]]. ''Each is usable at will by the owner of the ''Codex ''(assuming that he or she has learned how to access the power). The ''Codex of the Infinite Planes ''has a [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] of 30th for the purposes of all [[SRD:Powers|powers]] and catastrophes, and all [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are 20 + [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]]. Activating any power requires both a [[SRD:Concentration Skill|Concentration]] check and a [[SRD:Spellcraft Skill|Spellcraft]] check ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 40 + twice the [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]] of the power; the character can’t take 10 on this check). Any failure on either check indicates a catastrophe befalls the user (roll on the table below for the effect). A character can only incur one catastrophe per power use, even if he or she fails both checks. |
