But this does not replace the main impetus for this thread: what should things cost to make it feel like 5E?This is especially relevant for "bounded accuracy breaking" items such as magic armor. We still need to price these items. Then and only then comes the second step, where the DM might still decide to not have his shoppes stock them... or only stock them at ten times the price.Again... overpricing things is not a problem. At worst, it works much like not featuring the item at all. It is to guard against accidental underpricing this thread exists. For example: I found out that I regret simply using Sane prices for scrolls - they cost far too little too give anything else than an unwanted "d20 in my 5E" feeling. The key here isn't to answer yes or no to this question, but to keep asking the question for progressively lower levels!Should we price them as level 19 items, since level 19 character would gladly pay for them? Should we price them as level 18 items, since level 18 character would gladly pay for them? Should we price them as level 17 items, since level 17 character would gladly pay for them? ... Should we price them as level 1 items, since level 1 character would gladly pay for them?I bet each and every one of you would have stopped me before reaching 1 here! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So this is really the same set of problems as for the +1 armor. We need to focus on the lowest appropriate price here. If you then don't want your heroes to have a bag holding until 20th level, you can simply... not have it available for purchase until then (and possibly at a much higher price to boot).</blockquote>
