[QUOTE="JoelF, post: 3920752, member: 8829"] I like the idea of explicit levels for items, but hate that all items of the same level are the same price. Especially at low levels, this makes it very hard to have the existance of minor magic items. The biggest problem would be for minor nifty items that fell between the range of level 1 and 2. If level 1 items are all minor potions or scrolls, and level 2 items start to have more permanent items, then there's no room for minor permanent items, such as a magically always clean set of clothes or something along those lines. I also can't figure out at all why lightning would be cheaper than fire - unless they're suggesting that the damages from one to another aren't the same. I'd be much happier if the levels were tied to a range of prices. So level 1 items could be 1-150 gp, level 2 151-500, etc. The rope being the same cost as the +2 flaming sword also make no sense to me price wise. I can't imagine who would buy it unless they knew they'd be constantly climbing mountains. [/QUOTE]
