[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 3272496, member: 23094"] Remember that magical items have [b]one[/b] caster level, which is a minimum of three times the enhancement bonus for weapons and armor. Consider, therefore, a minimum +1 sword of True Striking (1 / day): Enhancement: 2,000gp True Strike: 1 * 3 * 1,800 * (1 / 5) = 1,080gp Total: 3,080gp Now, let's say he wants to make his sword +2. That ups the caster level to 6, which results in: Enhancement: 8,000gp True Strike: 1 * 6 * 1,800 * (1 / 5) = 2,160gp Total: 10,160gp These prices don't seem horribly unbalanced to me for an ability which requires two rounds to use. If, instead, he wants it all in one round, then he'd need a quickened True Strike, which is a 5th-level spell and requires a 9th-level caster. For just that on a +1 sword, you get: Enhancement: 2,000gp Quickened True Strike: 5 * 9 * 1,800 * (1/5) = 16,200gp Total: 18,200gp [/QUOTE]
