Cost of Magic Item Enchanment

[ceratitis]

Wounding is damage, not drain. Drain is a-whole-nother level of badness. And stunning is exceptionally powerful. As a PC I would much rather get drained 1 CON than get stunned 1d4 rounds EACH hit. Put this weapon in a fighter 20's hands (remember, ECL 20), and you could easily get hit 5 times per round (haste or boots of speed very likely), losing 5d4 CON DRAIN and being stunned for 5d4 ROUNDS.

yep, simply broken.

FWIW, I agree with the consensus: Seriously broken, and not allowable at any price IMG.

Even seriously toned down (allowing a Will save or two), it would still be very expensive, probably well into Epic.

EDIT: BTW, it's 'enhancement'; enchantments don't affect items.

Call it +5, and you have to speak in a high, squeaky voice when you use it. Deal?

you know what just how much would you price a weapon that stuns for d4 rounds w/o a save on each hit? try running a battle with such a weapon and see the effect.
