If you're allowing PCs to invent their own not-in-the-book items, that that's intrinsically the House Rule. The pricing guidelines are specifically for DM-created items. As an example, any PC can make whatever potion/ scroll/ wand they want (those prices are in the PHB), but other kinds of brand-new items are the province of the DM (other prices being in the DMG).Here's my page on the issue, pointing out that nowhere in the core rules are PCs given the right to invent new magic items: <a href="http://www.superdan.net/dndfaq3.html" target="_blank">www.superdan.net/dndfaq3.html</a>Monte Cook is one of the designers who've gone on record that players should not be accessing the DMG pricing tables: <a href="http://www.montecook.com/arch_dmonly3.html" target="_blank">http://www.montecook.com/arch_dmonly3.html</a></blockquote>
