MIC trumps DMG?

There are lots of ways it can be used to spice up a D&D game, but I'm not sure it can manage to do that!

Thanks for the reply. This is what I was getting at.

We may well have different definitions of "accurate" and "reprinted", but what the heck

As far as I am aware, none of the DMG items appeared in the MIC, except in the table. I also believe that they did intend to change them, by repricing some of them to make them more attractive.

Possibly they also intended to make them more attractive by making minor changes (for instance changing a typed bonus into an untyped bonus).

Mistwell has stated that they did not intend this. Other people think maybe they did, but no one has come up with a source.

So DMG wins.

Can you name any DMG item that was listed in those MIC lists and which has a different price than the price in the DMG? I can't.

Off the top of my head? No.

After 30 seconds of research? Yes.

Helm of Underwater Action.

Price per DMG page 259; 57,000 gp
Price per MIC page 250; 24,000 gp

The table descriptions are just summaries, much like the spell lists in the PHB. Just as the summaries in the PHB spell lists are not rules text, the summaries in the MIC item tables are also not rules text.

It is still too expensive... But if they change this prie why they don't changed some other ridicule high prices like, for example, the 85,000 gps Rod of alertness

No, I can't and I don't think there are any. I think you are right and I was wrong.

My helm of underwater action example in post 15 is spurious, as the table in the DMG shows the same cost as the table in the MIC.

It just so happens the table in the DMG doesn't agree to the text in the DMG.

... his mom on the other hand is a different story...

Ladies and gents, let's not get a flame war going, please.
