If you Ray of Enfeeble someone, and then Ray of Enfeeble them again, the Str penalties would overlap, rather than stack. If you affected someone with 2 different Symbols of Pain, they would only be affected by both, but the effects would overlap rather than stack. If you had a monk friend punch them with Pain Touch (CWarrior), it would stack, since its a different effect from a different source, regardless of the type. Items of True Strike are generally a bad idea. The "guidelines" tend to break apart when you use them. Instead of using the forumla presented above, (SL x CL x 1800g), follow Mage Armor's example (Continuous Mage Armor should cost 1800g, but Bracers of Armor (based on MA) follow the 1000 x (bonus)^2. Thus, an item that grants TS often enough to be treated as continuous or nearly continuous would probably follow the weapon enhancement guidelines, or 2000 x (bonus)^2, or 800,000 g.  And thats not even including TS's ability to ignore concealment. All magic item creation guidelines are subject to DM adjustment and arbitration because they aren't hard rules.</blockquote>
