    How do I price a sword that absorbs other weapon's abilities?

    The cost of the spell in the ring is a one time use, yes, so it makes sense that it has to pay the price of another one time use item (a scroll). The sword is an at-will use item, so to speak, but so is it when it is inside the WF sword. Also, let's go back to this: According to the SRD, this...

    How do I price a sword that absorbs other weapon's abilities?

    I have, as a PC, often paid spellcasters to fill items like this with spells I was unable to cast. Are you saying that they should have done it for free? If not, then what happened to the value of what I just paid? because, according to your logic, my ring still has the same value, so I didn't...

    How do I price a sword that absorbs other weapon's abilities?

    I don't think you're actually taking into account what I'm trying to do. Obviously the sword isn't worth the same when it is empty than when it has 4 swords in it, especially if one of them is one of the 9 swords! That's almost like saying that a blank scroll costs the same as a scroll with a...

    How do I price a sword that absorbs other weapon's abilities?

    The sword is indeed an Artifact, since it was made before the downfall of Netheril, so it cannot be duplicated. The thing is that I need to have an approximate value of it anyway. The idea is to have a base value if the weapon itself, without including the absorbed weapon, and add it to the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D3.5 - How to calculate the price of a fully unlocked legacy weapon?

    If I substract the amount they SHOULD have instead of what they have, they are still uneven and I would be giving an unfair bonus to the players that had more wealth, even through by consensus with them this should feel as a fresh start.

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D3.5 - How to calculate the price of a fully unlocked legacy weapon?

    It's not really a penalty, just a way to even out the differences in wealth before they turn abysmal. At the same time, even when some of the characters were around level 16 and others at around level 12, I'm making them all level 24 now, so it makes sense that if I even the playing field in one...

    How do I price a sword that absorbs other weapon's abilities?

    Actually, a +11 weapon can exist, it would be an Epic weapon costing 2,420,000 gp, and there's nothing to stop this sword from absorbing it. Now, epic weapons could go over +20 at 8,000,000 gp, so... yeah, this kinda doesn't work. Unless you mean I should use the normal magic weapon cost...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 - Help out with a dual-wielding hand crossbow fighter

    If you're willing to spend that much, making one of them Self-Loading (Arms and Equipment Guide) costs 10,000 gp. I don't have any books on me right now and I don't really remember, but is there an official item that lets you have a continuous effect of Unseen Servant? If not, you could ask...

    How do I price a sword that absorbs other weapon's abilities?

    I've always been a big fan of giving PCs in my games non-standard equipment, but now that I need to calculate their full GP cost (to calculate how much their equipment is worth) it's giving me nothing but headaches. So this is about a sword that a PC found in a pretty extreme situation that he...

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D3.5 - How to calculate the price of a fully unlocked legacy weapon?

    I need to calculate the total sell value of fully unlocked legacy weapons; for example, a Faithful Avenger with all legacy rituals completed. Its non-legacy price is 4330gp, and the cost of the rituals are 1500, 13,000 and 39,000 gp, but it's not worth just 57830 gp, or is it? I'd like some...
