Making your final base price 1,078gp per mask. Crafting is an art-form subject to DM whim, so adjust the actual game price as you see fit using similar items for guidance. As you can see, the calculations base the Charm effect using a preset CL, so increasing it latter simply reflects using a higher level preset. The Save DC reflects the creator's CL and thus is already factored into the calculations, thus the basic 1st level Charming mask would be 1,078gp per above.the 2nd level improvement would be: 2,156gpthe +3 CL would be 3,234gpetc.Presumably the user would need to sacrifice the equivalent value in some manner in-game to unlock each improvement. ie: adorn the mask with additonal gems/etc worth 1,087gp per improvement, donate it to the creator's diety, slay some specific creature worth that XP, or whatever seems approbriate.</blockquote>
