[QUOTE="Jeff Wilder, post: 5379449, member: 5122"] Damage is one of the benefits of Strength, so I think you start there, by asking yourself what percentage of the benefit of Strength does damage equate to? (You'll have to estimate, obviously.) The +2 to Strength is 4,000 gp. A +4 to Strength would be 16,000 gp. The difference is 12,000 gp. Personally, I'd put the damage benefit of Strength at about one-third, or 4,000 gp. (The damage won't be multiplied with a two-handed weapon, e.g., but nor would it be modified for a light weapon, so that's a wash.) I'd give a slight price break due to the restricted nature of the item -- to people with the Death domain -- but only slight. Restrictions like that are not as limiting in practice as a lot of people think. Call it 10 percent, or 800 gp. Final item cost, 7,200 gp. Note that there are other ways to approach this (e.g., considering damage bonus as part of the benefit of an enhanced weapon, instead), but IMO it's better to go with Strength, because that way you can justify not upping the cost of one of the components due to stacking effects in one body-slot.
