[QUOTE="orangefruitbat, post: 1538109, member: 3013"] I'm just about to start playing in a new, high-level campaign. My character is a high level assasin, and I want to equip him with an improved version of the assasin's dagger and a sword of subtlety. ------------------------------------------- Assasin's Dagger: This wicked-looking, curved +2 dagger provides a +1 bonus to the DC of a Fortitude save forced by the death attack of an assassin. Moderate necromancy; CL 9th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, slay living; Price 18,302 gp; Cost 9,302 gp + 720 XP. So, the improved death attack ability is basically considered an additional plus - correct? If I want to increase the basic plus, or provide additional powers (bane, speed, etc), I can just add to the total plus and find the cost - correct? Can I also increase the Death attack bonus at a cost of one additional plus each? ---------------------------------------- Sword of Subtlety: A +1 short sword with a thin, dull gray blade, this weapon provides a +4 bonus on its wielder’s attack and damage rolls when he is making a sneak attack with it. Moderate illusion; CL 7th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, blur; Price 22,310 gp; Cost 11,155 gp + 892 XP A +1 short sword has a cost of 2,310. So, does the +4 sneak attack bonus cost a flat 20,000 gp, or is this figure calculated some other way? If I want to increase the basic plus, or provide additional powers (bane, keen, etc), I can just add to the total pluses and find the cost (adding the additional 20,000) - correct? ------------------------------------------- In addition, I would like to make a customized version of the Eyes of the Eagle miscallenous item that also provides the benefit of the Daylight Adaptation feat (FRCS). How do I calculate the value of an item that basically provides a feat capability? Eyes of the Eagle: These items are made of special crystal and fit over the eyes of the wearer. These lenses grant a +5 competence bonus on Spot checks. Wearing only one of the pair causes a character to become dizzy and, in effect, stunned for 1 round. Thereafter, the wearer can use the single lens without being stunned so long as she covers her other eye. Of course, she can remove the single lens and see normally at any time, or wear both lenses to end or avoid the dizziness. Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, clairaudience/clairvoyance; Price 2,500 gp. [/QUOTE]
