The system was designed that way to keep balance. A +6 bonus on a weapon is extremely potent in system terms. You're effectively getting a bonus to hit equal to that of 6 levels of fighter on every swing (luckily not base-attack) and the damage bonus alone is the average damage done by a two-handed sword added to the damage the weapon is normally doing (not counting any other magical properties). Ummm... that's alot of damage added on top of what a normal warrior class can do with a NON-magical weapon... and that's the weakest of the epic shiz!------------------------The problem I have with it is in the sudden huge leap, sure a +6 weapon is potent but it isn't 670,000 gp more potent then a +5 weapon.  Consider that with the 720,000 gp you can get either:a) A +6 weaponor b) A +5 Heavly Fortified Set of Mithril Plate mail (100,000), a +5 Vorpal Sword (200,000), A helm of brilliance (200,000), Boots of Speed (slotless 8,000), Boots of Striding and Springing (Slotless 12,000), Boots of Flight, Belt of Strength +6 (36,000), Belt of Dex +6 (72,000), +5 Ring of Deflection (50,000), and other things <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=":)" />I don't think this is a good way to do things.As a more direct comparison, look at a +8 to wisdom item 640,000, instead of that you could get a +6 wisdom item, a +30 to every wisdom based skill, a +5 to your Will Save (luck) A +5 to your Will Save (Resistance) And still have enough left over to pick up several rings of wishes (just incase you wanted more wisdom)glod</blockquote>
