As the title says, what should be the cost for an item that provides a permanent, use-activated Death Ward effect? Going by the guideline formulae in the DMG, it comes to:
4 (Spell lvl) x 7 (Caster lvl) x 2,000 (Use-activated) x 2 (it's a 1 min/lvl spell) = 112,000 gp
Does that sound about right?
The reason i'm asking is because of the Soulfire armor property, which I believe has the above effect and is from BoED and is considered +4 for pricing purposes. While I'm away on summer break, one of the other members of my group (Rackhir, here on ENWorld) has been running an 18th lvl game allowing material from many different sources, and half the PCs are walking around in Soulfire armor. I opined that a +4 pricing is too cheap and it would be better priced as a permanent Death Ward item.
