A better question is whether 10 points of healing 10 times per day for the cost of a +1 slot is better than 5 points of healing 10 times per day and no +1 slot.Let's look at the total cost...+3 weapon: 18kgreater crystal: 6kTotal cost: 24k+4-equivelent weapon: 32k2x greater crystals: 12kTotal cost: 44kSo you're paying 20k more, almost twice as much, for that extra healing. And this is in a minimal case scenario... Let's say that this was a +5 flaming weapon.+6-equivelent weapon: 72kgreater crystal: 6kTotal cost: 78k+7-equivelent weapon: 98k2x greater crystals: 12kTotal cost: 110kIn this case, you're paying 32k more.Ultimately, though, I think the real answer is much simpler: Just don't allow the same type of crystal to stack. If they've got two greater crystals of life drinking, they get healed for 5 20 times per day instead. There's plenty of precedent in the d20 system for not allowing similar bonuses to stack, and on top of that I think it is just a lot more interesting to use multiple different crystals rather than just sticking whatever fits there and gives the biggest bonus.Plus, IMHO, the Crystals of Life Drinking are way ahead of the curve compared to other augment crystals.</blockquote>
