ok, im being kinda vague... Lemme try to explain.

I would like to buy gauntlets of Armor +5, enchant them with +4 to hitting and damage (normal weapon enchantment), and then make them of ogre strength.

To add +5 armor to them it costs 25,000 gold
To add a +4 enchantment to them its 32,300 gold
And to make it ogre strength its 4,000 gold

So, my question is, how much do u want me to pay for it?

 

[assassination]

first off. i talk to some other dms that i know and they say that gautlents can't be made ass you say. but i will let you make them into bracers of armour. costing 64,300 GP.

I think, if we follow the rules, it would cost 118 600GP. Let me explain. There is a rule in the DM guide who tell a magical object would cost double if he don't use a slot. So combining power in the same magical items would tell, I want 3 object in 1 slot, so you pay 2 of them at double cost. Now, which one. That I'm not sure. I think it is the most costly you need to pay double, and since the Ogre power gauntlet is the most usual enchantment in you package deal, it make sense, so the cost would be:

4000 + 25000 x2 + 32300 x2 = 118 600.

Now, assassination have the last word in that, but here what my usual master do when we want such custom items.

hmmmm, well how bout... I get gloves of armor +5, with gauntlets +4 to wear over them, and then add ogre strength to the gauntlets. I thought it was double, at least thats what everyone else told me, so this way, I would pay 8000 to get ogre strength on the gauntlets. Would this be acceptible?

Velmont, the difference is that the gauntlets aren't weapons, thus you can't give them the +4 modifier. If you take gauntlets that count as weapons, it's a weapon and normal enchantments can't be put on it.

Easiest option would be to move the bonuses to somewhere else, like your belt, and get gauntlets that already count as weapons to be enchanted as +4 weapons.

Yeah, I approve on that, it would be simpler to have belt of giant strenght, Gauntlet +4 (or spiked gauntlet, which the later , you are consider having a weapon...) and have bracer of defence +5. Three slots, 3 normal magic items you can find in the DM Guide.

P.S: There is always a way to create any magic item you are thinking... it's just it can be named as artifact if you are too gready on it.

Ok, so if assassination says its ok, ill have weapon gauntlets of +4, bracers of armor +5, and a monk's belt of ogre strength, lol.

I emailed you my character, Assassination. Please let me know if/when you receive it.

 

[assassination]

ok i see where the debat is now and i will have to give it more though into how you could make them.
you can make the item but they would be bracers of armour +5/ogre strength. barsers cost 25,000 + (4,000 X 1.5 = 6,000) so total cost for this item would be 31,000, you can't add a +4 to hit onto these because there considered not to be a weapond. but you could take you weapond and put the +4 to hit on them.
