[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 1404469, member: 1622"] As jgsugden said, magic item prices are guidelines. How much would I charge? Hmm... belt of giant strength +2 is 4000gp. Start there. Of course, the strength bonus is a size bonus, not enhancement, so double the price for that is 8,000... now you also get natural reach and increased die damage and bonuses to a bunch of special attacks.... this is hard to compute, but bigger damage dice is almost always +1 or 2 damage on average call that 4000. Reach is damn useful... call that 10,000. There are drawbacks, but they're pretty minimal for anyone who would actually want to use this thing and are easily balanced out by the bonuses to special attacks, so that sounds about good. So... 22,000gp. I think that's fair and balanced. In general I don't bother with the item slot restrictions... I mean, what makes the belt slot more appropriate for strength than the shirt slot? So, that's how I'd price it... but then again, I pretty much never go by what the book says, I base it on what exists, and what I would trade for it. -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
