[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 255292, member: 2829"] Keep in mind this is just a guideline. Your DM will no doubt want to tweak the prices. [b]Amulet Cost Breakdown[/b] ------------------------------------------- +4 Constitution = 16,000gp (bonus squared x 1,000gp) +2 Wisdom = 4,000gp x 2 (second similar power on slotted item) = 8,000gp (bonus squared x 1,000gp) [b]Total = 24,000gp[/b] [i][b]Note:[/b] Unless you're in a low magic campaign, this price is just fine. It shouldn't need to be tweaked at all, neither up nor down.[/i] [b]True Strike Weapon Addon Cost Breakdown[/b] ------------------------------------------- True Strike 3/day = 1,250gp x 2 (secondary power on weapon)(spell level <1> x caster level <1> x 2,000gp) = 2,500gp [b]Total = 2,500gp[/b] [i][b]Note:[/b] No doubt, your DM will want to tweak this price, but this is the base and a good place to start. Personally, I don't really have a problem with this price, since it's a standard action to activate, so if he suggests more than 4,000gp, I wouldn't bother if I were you. If, however, you want this activated as a free action, good luck.[/i] :) [color=orange]Also, I've found a pretty good way of balancing these costs out in regards to placing them on a weapon.
