Give me advice and opinions, and help me deciding the cost of this item.Bracers of Platinum Scales [Relic]Price (Item Advice) : 99,000 gp (20th-level)Body Slot : ArmsCaster Level : 20thAura : Strong (DC 25) TransmutationActivation : --Weight : 1/2 lb.This pair of platinum bracers have engraves which resembles scales of dragon.Any weapon you hold and any natural weapon you have are treated having Good and Lawful alignment for the purpose of overcoming DR. This power functions if you are Lawful Good, Neutral Good, or Lawful Neutral.  Relic Power :  If you have established the proper divine connection, Any weapon you hold and any natural weapon you have gain both "Dragon" bane and "Evil Outsider" bane abilities. To use the relic power, you must worship Bahamut and either sacrifice a 6th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 11 HD.  Cost to Create : 49,500gp, 3,960XPMy reasoning for calculating the cost is as follows (using guideline in MIC, not that in CD).Basic "Alignment" properties are like 2 Align Weapon spells (good and lawful) and 2 Align Fang spells (good and lawful) activating 24-hr/day.So,Align Weapon (good) = Spell Level 2 x Caster Level 3 x 2,000 =18,000 gpAlign Weapon (lawful) = Spell Level 2 x Caster Level 3 x 2,000 x 1.5 =27,000 gpAlign Fang (good) = Spell Level 2 x Caster Level 3 x 2,000 x 1.5 =27,000 gpAlign Fang (good) = Spell Level 2 x Caster Level 3 x 2,000 x 1.5 =27,000 gp= 99,000 gp in totalFor the relic power, the most similar spell I can think of is a 4th-level spell Undead Bane weapon, which gives Undead Bane ability to a weapon. Now, it gives 2 kinds of bane abilities to both manufactured weapons and natural weapons. Thus, roughly equal to four 4th-level slots. As Versatile Spellcaster feat can convert two spell slots into a single 1-level higher spell slot, I have decided to make it a 6th-level slot.Give me any suggestions, ideas, criticism, etc. for making this item a balanced one.Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
