[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6289315, member: 63"] I am more and more coming to believe that "magic item creation" should entail two sentences: "What do you want it to do? Are you sure you're okay with the party getting their hands on that?" Maybe add some paragraphs of examples of things that can ruin people's fun in games. But why in the [i]hell[/i] do we need rules for pricing +3 flaming falcatas. It's a bloody magic item. Just give them three categories of minor, major, and artifact. All items in each category have the same price range people bargain over (500 to 5000, 5k to 50k, 50k to 500k). Limited use items might cost 1/10th the normal price. Famous items might cost 10 times as much. Potion of healing? Fifty gold pieces. It's a hat that lets you speak a foreign language? Two thousand gold pieces. It's a sword that glows in the dark?! Ten thousand gold pieces. It's a wand that can slice a man's arm off once per day? Fifty thousand gold pieces. Oh, it's Bookslayer, the sword of that little blonde butt-hole of a king? Well, all it does is cut things really well, but it's famous, so sure, I'll pay you six thousand for it. [/QUOTE]
