[QUOTE="Gerion of Mercadia, post: 3418789, member: 50527"] A Percentage price break is usually 10-30% of the cost of the entire item. The market price for a +2 longsword is 8310gp. If you try and cost this as a +1 property, and apply a "pricebreak" how do you explain a 50% discount on the magic? IMHO, you can't. This is the same as making the "echoblade" a +1 feature. That is clearly not the design intent. The feature clearly is intended to cost less than a full +1 market price adjustment. Right, and if you later want to add ghost touch - cost as +3 and add 2000 gp. uh - 1 and 2 are the same thing, and we wind up at the same price actually 10,310gp :) As far as option 3 there is no precedent for it at all, but plugging +2.5 weapon feature into the WotC formula for weapons yields a cost of 12,310gp. The problem with 4 is consistency. I want my players to be able to expect consistency in the rules, regardless of the situation they are confronted with. The fewer times I have to go by the seat of my pants or pull a number out of... The better. Leads to fewer arguments. [/QUOTE]
