Magic "item" for druids.

[Ferret]

I'm not sure what format would be best, so I've written this out in pure text, no code or columns etc. I hope you can understand what I mean.

Claw bracer: These bracer look like animal claws, of bird talons etc. They deal 1d6 points of damage, and are tiny weapons. The magical enchantment that affects them is that when a druid wild shapes they retain the damage and any further enchantment that the Claw bracer possesses, in there new form.

I've had a pair of these in my game for almost a year.

So it works! What did you/ would you pay for a set? Are they balanced? Tell me all about your druid.

I'm the GM actually. I don't really cost out items I give a party. If I want someone to have an item they get it. If I were to find it was unbalanced at a later date I can always remove that item. I'm the GM, I'm God.

They work out fairly well. I gave them a +2 enhancement. This way the Druid can be effective against creatures with DR while in a Wildshaped form. The Druid also has a chest ornament that provides a +2 to AC while in a Wildshaped form.

Interesting. So you have no idea on what it should cost?

The claw bracer, as an item, exists in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (as an exotic item that deals 1d4 damage. blech).

1d6 sounds more like it, and I would price the "retains enhancement bonus in wild shape" as a +1 weapon ability.

Normally Items that retain their abilities in Wildshape are considered +3 enchantment. At least by the rules.
