[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3323730, member: 29746"] That idea is actually exactly what I use; my "Minor Artifacts" which are really just ELH-style Epic items have a x5 multiplier (though it's worth noting, as it often has been in my Epic game to date, that only items which break the limits on bonuses such as +5 enhancement get their prices multiplied- see the Mantle of Epic SR for an example of one that isn't). Major Artifacts get the full x10, and are the nearly-indestructible sort of item. That could work well for weapons and armor, but IME skill bonuses are worth a lot less in terms of game power- so those should have a different limit. Also, there are examples of items even in WotC books that grant +6 enhancement bonuses to more than one ability score simultaneously; if you were to make an item granting +6 to four or more scores, would that also be an artifact even though it could be made (by core rules) for under 200,000 gp?
