[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8681100, member: 6987520"] First, I would re-tag this to 5E since that is more appropriate than General. So, a 12th level PC wants to create +4 items? Those are artifact level items and would involve a tremendous amount of questing, etc. IMO. For crafting items, I would agree. But personally I have given a +3 weapon to a 5th level character (who had a heck of a time keeping it LOL!) because I let items be determined randomly, so such things are possible. For myself, to address each request: No. Again, it is a +4 item. At this level I would allow this as a very rare item since the maximum bonus is +3 for PCs. Since rounding down is the default rule, this would only be +3 at 17th level or higher. At her current level of 12th, it is +2, so only a bit more powerful than a normal ring of protection. Again, using the crafting magic items rules in XGtE, this would require a CR 13-18 challenge/encounter as well. Sure, I would make this an uncommon or rare, depending on the number of charges and how it regains them. 3 charges, regaining 1d3 daily, like a Wand of Magic Detection would be uncommon, but 7 charges regaining all each day would definitely be rare. As an item, I actually really like this. I can see a caster waving the wand over a creature to cast Mage Armor on them. :) This seems like the most reasonable request IMO. LOL, no, they don't stack. ;) This is interesting as well since she is a bard. I like the idea of a magical dress which has certain properties your player might like: [/QUOTE]
