[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 2974044, member: 1164"] Definitely. Depending on how one wants to cost it as a Wondrous item, it can be real cheap. For a cosmopolitan game where being detected as evil is not that big of a deal or It is considered ‘wrong’ for a paladin to use his gods’ given ability… 2000k for a phylactery or necklace { 2nd level bard [minimum cast] x 1st level spell x 2k gp x .5 [24 hour duration] 3000k for non customary slot. 4000k for non slotted. For campaigns where being detected as evil is a big problem, I recommend costing it a touch higher 6000k for a phylactery or necklace {3rd level cleric [minimum cast] x 2nd level spell x 2k gp x .5 [24 hour duration] 9000k for non customary slot. 12000k for non slotted.I slightly disagree on this.
