[QUOTE="Troll Wizard, post: 2125059, member: 17513"] Ok I fixed it now so that when you enter "0 or 0.5" for spell level; it equals 0.5 in the equation. I also fixed it in the formulas for the stave creator. See v7 in my first post above. The excel calculator is purely an electronic aid for the equations in the DMG. It works pretty well for potions, wands, armor, weapons, and staves, but not so good for wondrous items. The player and DM should still compare a "new" wondrous magic item to an existing similiar item to get an idea of its "actual" game value. Which is based on the (designers criteria) of the item usefulness within the game - the final price is determined "subjectively;" wondrous items with a combat benefit (or significant game mechanic impact) tend to be priced higher and items of a role-playing benefit tend to be price lower... WOTC has said that you can create item's at lower level than what's stated in the book. Recently there were 4 articles on WOTC website about item creation rules and guidelines, plus S. Reynolds and Monte Cook might still have their web articles up for item creation posted on their websites. That might help you price new wondrous items. [/QUOTE]
