Message: <blockquote data-quote="Artoomis" data-source="post: 292931" data-attributes="member: 111">This weapon seems to not follow the rules.Semiempathy give ONE primary ability only and adds +10,000 to the price.This sword has 5 abilties associated with it (2 primary, 2 extraordinary, one special purpose) - the table does not even go up that high.  At 4 it's +90,000, but we'll be generous and say that 5 abilities would be 100,000.This item appears to be of minor artifact status - and I would guess is semi-empathic to ensure complete character control over the sword - and I think the powers were selected and not random at all.  (the odds of getting 2 primary, 2 extraordinary and one special purpose at random, starting with semempathy, are, roughly, 1 in 325,000,000  [I think - that's probably wrong, but you get the idea]).Because you must roll an 81-90 five times plus a 91-00 three times, plus a 91-100 (that's not the only way to do this, but teh other ways are equally unlikely).According to the intelligent item creation rules, powers are selected randomly, not by character choice.Anyway, this is definately a minor artifact, I'd price it at:315 + 32,000 + 100,000 (for the powers, including the "shaken" ability, but not the Flame Strike) +  81,000 (9*5*1800 for the Flame Strike) or 213,315 g.p.Of course, I wouldn't let him create this as written in the first place.</blockquote>
