[QUOTE="Black_Skull, post: 1782397, member: 24629"] Yep, that´s 32K, but that is no money for a high level character in relation to the benefit obtained from it. I agree such a weapon would be most of the time unused [B]in low level campaigns[/B], but it would be [I]most of time useful[/I] in high level campaigns, when monsters that really are a true challenge for the adventurers have an amazing SR. The spenditure of 32K is not worthless since you have a [B]permanent[/B] magical item that allows you to slay such powerful enemies who you would not be able to slay by any other means. Besides, you spend 32K only once. If you think that a scroll of [I]Time Stop[/I] is enough to decide an entire encounter whose CR would give lots of XPs, you are probably refering to the not-updated version of the spell. In 3.5 rules this spell can´t be used to cast 1d4+1 spells against an enemy nor can you affect phisically your opponent by any means. [I]Shapechange[/I] is better to gain XPs.
