Correct price on druid's vestment?

[Napftor]

In the DMG Minor Wond Item table, the vestment, druid's is listed as 3,750 gp but in its descriptive entry the price is 10,000 gp. One of my players just queried me about it and said there was no errata on it and the srd has the same values. So which is it?

 

[CRGreathouse]

As usual, the descriptive entry overrides the table.

 

[Erratic K]

The table is probably wrong (eyeballing the value of the abilities granted), the description is probably closer to a balanced value.

You are the DM.

The prices are merely suggestions. Your word is final.

Possibilites for statting out a druid vestment:

1. The item grants the equivalent of a 3rd level spell slot for a druid only
so - base price is 9000 (as per 'pearl of power'), possibly with a reduction for requiring a class ability.

2. The item grants the equivalent of a specific 3rd level spell once a day, so the price is 3x5x1800/5 = 5400, with a reduction for requiring a class ability

3. The item grants the equivalent of a specific 4-8th level spell (polymorph is weaker than wildshape, but poly any object is stronger). The price is anywhere from 4x7x1800/5=10,080 to 8x15x1800/5=43200.

It would seem that it's priced almost identically to a "polymorph once per day" item, which seems about fair.
