How on Earth is this magic item costed out?

[FoxWander]

If it helps, the "Swordbow" (Races of the Wild, p. 171) Mavrik mentioned above works out to a +2000 gp cost. It has Shrink Item as a prereq and allows you to change between the two forms as a free action- even allowing change between bow and sword attacks as part of a full-attack action. The sword and the bow are individually priced according to their enchantments and then the Shrink Item switching part is a +2000 gp add-on.

Hope that helps.

Dcollins - my post wasn't meant to dismiss your comment; the answer was, basically, it's a judgement call based against the items found. It won't always work out well. FoxWander's post about the Swordbow is precisely what my PC did; he took his ancestral relic, we agreed that it was the equivalent of a +1 enhancement, and fwack! It's a bow! It's a sword! It's a bow again! Worked out just fine.

And, yes, I know that somewhere you have to have a starting point, but why is a long sword 15g and a suit 30g? Who knows? That's some Armani right there. I was being sincere when I thanked you for your input; I was being a smart--- when I did it, that's my bad. Didn't mean to cause you grief or have you repost.

Thanks again!

Fair enough. Good gaming!

Actually, in the FR Underdark book, there is a weapon property called morphing that is indeed a +1 bonus!

The other problem is, that once again they have forgotten that there's no such thing as a +1 staff.

Is it a +1/+0 staff, or a +1/+1 staff? All double weapons should have both ends statted out.
