By "delta of the base," I assume you mean the number over the base value?What might work is something like:The combined item level = the highest level + the delta from the base of the lower level item. In the example I have above, that of a paired vicious +2 weapon, you start with the paired +2 weapon as the base, as that is the higher of the two - 8th - and then you add the delta of the base of the lower, which is 1, so you get a 9th level item.I suppose you could add another level simply by virtue of it being a combined item, but maybe that is too much. So you'd get:+2 weapon - 6th level +2 vicious weapon - 7th level+2 paired weapon - 8th level+2 paired vicious weapon - 9th or 10th, depending upon which variant is usedYou could even combine three or more magic items, adding whatever the differences over the base of the lower level items. This could offer intriguing possibilities for further enchanting magic items over time, a variant on legacy items. Rather than simply bringing your same old +2 weapon in to increase the bonus, you could add various qualities, in effect creating what could become an artifact by epic level.</blockquote>
