[QUOTE="spot10, post: 1940485, member: 27437"] [FONT=Times New Roman] OK, here's an example. Book says that it costs 1/2 market price in materials to create a magic item. So here's the question: What materials would be required to create my own Bag of Holding IV? Sounds simple, but maybe not. OK, Book says that bags are about 2 ft. by 4 ft. and a Type 4 bag costs 10,000 GP. So besides the minor costs for spell components used, where am I going to find cloth, (The physical component to make a bag), that is worth about 5,000 GP. So I need a few square feet of cloth, first of all. Even the finest cloth known to exist wouldn't cost that much. Does that mean I have to find some obscure rare component to make up the cost gap or what? Or do I just burn 5,000 GP and be done with it? Now, unfortunately, my DM is anal retentive so what I am looking for is documented proof, In the rule books, to answer these questions. Pretty much if you can't point to a page in a book to back you up then don't even bother. I know that is naughty word up, but that's how my DM is. When it comes to gaming my DM doesn't believe ANYTHING , without proof. THANKS GUYS [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
