Message: <blockquote data-quote="dcollins" data-source="post: 447101" data-attributes="member: 876">The first thing he mentioned was "a use actived magic item with a Cure Light Wounds". He's not thinking about an in-game item, or any particular desired effect, nor did he think he needed to ask what it would cost. He's just looking at the "new items" table under "use-activated" and wondering what he can get for the presumed low-low price of 2,000 gp. Your other points are all quite reasonable -- but they assume that the PC is interested in being an item-crafter. I would handle a PC crafter much the same way in-game as you describe, but in point of fact, none of my player-crafters have ever requested a "new item".The only time I've ever heard interest in a "new item" was from a player making a higher-level PC (non item-crafter), thinking he'd be able to just be assigned a "new item" at a given market price. I suspect a lot of other players in other games expect the same. I did in fact tell this player "No, core items only". In this case, it got his PC created faster and the game running sooner than any other response.</blockquote>
