[QUOTE="Dross, post: 5592892, member: 33802"] Some things to note: Generally text in the description beats text in a table, so 57k would seem the value (but then there is the SRD:-S). Magic items that are created with spells do not always EXACTLY follow what the spell does. There are a lot of items in the DMG (weapon flaming & frost come to mind) that behave differently to the required spell. Pricing magic items is not as simple as a strait caster x spell level, especially when the item does not behave exactly like the spell. Again that probably covers >50% of magic items. Not everything translates between editions either. Don't know how 2e handled it but 3.5 helms are part of a suit of armour, so under normal circumstances you can't buy one "off the shelf." The values of experience points don't match either, so a 15th level 2e fighter wasn't ported into 3e as a 15th level fighter. [/QUOTE]
