[QUOTE="Pazu, post: 2726946, member: 679"] Thanks for the quick response! The reason I used the examples I did was because, unlike the [i]vorpal[/i] example in the DMG, the weapons I mentioned all had special abilities that weren't from the itemized list of enhancements (e.g. [i]frost, shocking, wounding,[/i] etc.) but were implied to be less...standardized, for lack of a better term. In a similar vein, I assume that non-standard enhancements (like the [i]frost brand[/i]'s ability to extinguish fires) are assessed as flat increases to cost/price, rather than as enhancement equivalents (i.e. equal to a +1, +2, or whatever). So if you wanted to make a [i]+2 frost brand[/i] warhammer from scratch, you would figure the cost by taking the cost of the [i]+3 frost brand[/i] sword listed in the DMG, subtract the cost of the +3 greatsword, and add the cost of a +2 warhammer (I don't have the book here, so I can't quote numbers, sorry)? And if you wanted to add the [i]frost brand[/i] power to your existing +5 scythe, you would need to pay the cost of the original [i]+3 frost brand[/i] sword minus the cost of the +3 greatsword?
