Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sepulchrave II" data-source="post: 3163171" data-attributes="member: 4303">I wonder if the prices of *more* epic items should increase by the cube.Say weapons. If you define epic as:a) Any weapon with a combined bonus total of +11 or higher;b) Any weapon with a +6 or higher enhancement bonus to hit and damage, orc) Any weapon with an epic special quality (like fiery blast)and calculated the price of an epic weapon with the formula bonus^3 x 200, levelling a flat epic surcharge of 200K (the epic 'speed bump' - some of this is a good thing). You'd get:+6 longsword (basic model) = 243,200+4 frost keen speed wounding longsword = 466,200+6 unholy power mace = 748,800+10 everdancing vorpal greatsword = 2,633,400Which makes a lot more sense than the current rules. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fighters don't have to shell out as much at low epic levels. The basic model is available at 25% of wealth at level 23. Using ELH prices and UK's wealth guidelines, it wouldn't be available until level 32. According to the ELH and the ELH guidelines, level 26.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A souped up version of a nonepic weapon (say you wanted to add speed to your +4 frost keen wounding longsword - costs you an extra 338K instead of however much it was before. How this weapon should be otherwise costed is not adequately explained in the ELH.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The +10 everdancing vorpal greatsword, at 2.6Mgp instead of 10.5Mgp: a fighter gets it at level 48 instead of level 75 (UK wealth rating). According to the WotC wealth rules, he'd get it at level 53 ish. I suggest a cubic method of pricing items might be a better fit with UK's cubic wealth rules. Interesting 2:3 ratio.</li> </ul>Any of these weapons (even the ones with an enhancement bonus to hit and damage less than +6), should be considered 'epic' for the purposes of creation feat prerequisites and the ability to penetrate epic DR.And a 48th level fighter should be as viable to play as a 48th-level Matt, right?Edit: Epic special abilities are lame.Edit: that's fiery blast</blockquote>
