MIC - Gauntlet of Infinite Blades - what do you think of the price?

[Quartz]

This item should really be enhanced by having the ability to cast Blade Barrier 1/day.

You are absolutaly correct - it's 3 rounds - for what it's worth I will edit it.

Well, that effectively kills all of my ideas for fun with this item. It does make pricing seem much better.

I voted "a bit low" on accident. One dagger per round? Uses your Swift? Cheaper than a +2 weapon? Sounds about right.

One of my PC's used this in my last game. It was funny:
Squishy Player: "I DRAW A MONSTROUS HUMANOID BANE DAGGER AND CHARGE THE YUAN-TI LEADER!"
Me: "Okay. But she's templated, and not an M-Human any more."
Squishy Player: "...Argh!"
Me: "Yeah. She does a full attack with her Glaive..."

I think it's fine. Once per day you get a cool +3 weapon, fine, but that item is useless for throwers since you can only summon one dagger per round thanks to that Swift action... heck, my level 2 halflings throw 3 daggers per round, e.g. they need Quickdraw.

The item is a nice backup to waste one BBEG though.

it's very Jarlaxle

he has a bracer which generates daggers that disappear a few rounds after he throws them, but it does it fast enough that he can use his full base attack bonus (create 4+ daggers a round and throw them)

This is rather better than the guantlet, but similar method.

I voted about right. The main reason for that is that the vast majority of the people that would use this item would have to enchant it with DEX as well... so it would be much more expensive than this. In the back of the MIC (which I don’t have in my hands) there is a chart about enchanting items and what it cost… I think a +2 was an extra 6k? So if I number is right it would be 12,500 before someone would realistically use this in my campaign. *shrug*

I found no item in the book to be ‘broken’ or over/under priced. I found 100’s of good items however.

I voted Slightly Underpriced.

I am not very happy with the Bane supercharge. Seems like a very easy means to get your hands on a +5 weapon at lowish levels.

OTOH, I think that MIC philosophy tends to make the cost of the slot non-trivial. Likewise, the cost of a Swift action may be non-trivial once you hit mid levels.

its 4000 k. +2 dex is big 6 and so it can be added without a price hijack to 3 different slots, one of them is gloves, one for boots, and i forget the last one.

So thats 10,500. Thats about right in my mind.

Where in the description does it say the +3 versions last for minutes? I just looked it up, and the only duration listed is that each dagger conjured lasts only 3 rounds.

Also, with it being a swift action to make the dagger appear, you cannot make a full attack action by throwing a bunch of daggers from the thing-- only 1 per round-- so I don't think the item is overpriced.

Essentially, for 9 rounds a day, you get a +3 weapon for little less than the cost of a +2 weapon, and a free dagger to throw each round.

However, where this could get broken is with the Flick of the Wrist feat.
