[QUOTE="orion90000, post: 6152336, member: 48030"] I know a lot of this is going to be fiat, but I'm trying to break down some of the specific weapons into component costs. I'm stuck on Frost Brand ([URL]http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/magicItems/weapons.html#_weapons[/URL]) the total price s 54,475 GP +3 Frost Greatsword = 32,350 GP leaving 22,125 GP it absorbs the first 10 fire damage (I interpret as Resist Energy, although the requirements list Protection from Energy) per my interpretation continuous fire resistance = 2000 GP x 2 x 3 = 12,000 GP. (Now under magic Armor adding fire 10 to armor cost 18,000 GP because apparently x1.5 the cost is fair for adding a level of protection to armor (?)) So, i'm down to 10,125 GP left (assuming that I spend 12,000 GP on fire resist) Dispel Fire (As dispel magic) CL 14, SPL 3 = 2000 x 3 x 14 = 84,000 GP (!) Granted this is a very limited version of Dispel Magic that can be used unlimited times per day (1/round) = so according to my calculations (10,125/84,000 = 0.1205) this only cost ~12% of the Dispel Magic Cost. Any better breakdowns you can suggest? [/QUOTE]
