Magic item pricing - insight, luck & competence?

How much are insight, luck, and competence bonuses worth, per plus, when making a magic item?

What reliable/reasonable spells can you use for prerequisites when making said items?

Thanks,

We now return you to your regularly scheduled propagnada.

Out of the DMG Luck Bonus (to hit&damage, Saves, AC, etc) is Bonus Squared x 2,500GP.

Using the Stone of Good Luck as an example it uses the spell Divine Favor for the base.

You could also use Prayer.

For insight and competence I do not know.
 

Well...the bonus "plusses" are what is listed in the DMG for the appropriate category (i.e. luck, insight, and competence).

For example (and just an example)...

What if I wanted to create a magic headband that granted an insight bonus to AC? or a hat like Indiana Jones with a +3 luck bonus? or a pair of bracers that help a warrior fight better (+4 competence bonus to hit for ecample)?

I don't really need the mathematic breakdown for the above items - just the actual cost "per plus" and the formula (like bonus squared times 2,000 gp)

Thx again
 

Anything that adds to AC and is not an armor bonus would be the same cost as ring of protection or amulet of natural armor (I think bonus squared times 2000gp).

Same with tohit bonuses that are not enhancement bonuses (altho they do not add to damage).

This is simply because of the possibilities of stacking with the standard bonuses for their type.

Bye
Thanee
