Help me price a magic item

[ChimericDream]

I'm thinking of trying to get gloves of quick draw. I'm looking at the Ioun stone that grants alertness, and since it's a doubled value item, the base price I'm considering is 5k gp. Seeing as quickdraw is a little more useful than alertness, would that warrant a bit more of an increase? I'm trying to decide if the item is best priced at 5k, 6k, 7.5k, or 10k (or higher). Opinions?

Considering it's only a feat, it shouldn't be that much. I mean you can get quick draw as a fighter at 1st level after all.

5k seems pretty reasonable to me.

Well, the only thing I was thinking is that Quick Draw tends to be significantly more useful throughout all the levels than Alertness does. As is, they are on fairly equal footing very early on (1-4), but after that, the +2 bonus from Alertness isn't quite as good as saving a feat slot on something as nice as Quick Draw.

Though, I guess a balancing factor on this is that it takes up the hands body slot, which is something that has a lot of other items that are just as useful for someone who uses QD a lot.

Muzak,

So does the feat Power Attack but it's only as useful as the guy that has a high Str score. The point is magic items that grant feats should be judged solely (in my book) on the requirements to gain it. In the case of Quick Draw, it's hardly that good. Helpful, yes but not necessarily a game breaker.
