Hilt Clasps

A locking clasp that will fit snugly over any Hilted or Hafted weapon
usually made of mithril and possibly a gem or two.

Grants a weapon a +1 or +2 weapon enhancement while attached.
Can not grant weapon attack bonuses.
Can not be combined with any weapon with existing non+ enhancements.

Only 1 hilt clasp per weapon.

Requirements: Identical to creation abilities for the existing weapon enhancement.



The problem i am having is how to price it seperate from the weapon.

Can not grant weapon attack bonuses.
Can not be combined with any weapon with existing non+ enhancements.

By this do you mean that the clasp can grant flaming or flaming burst, but not an actual enhancement bonus to damage?

Gauntlet of Ice and Fire

Bracers of Striking (MaoF) and the Cold Resistance armor ability would be a good place to start for pricing.

That is correct the items can not grant a straight plus as in +2 hit and damage but they could for example grant Holy

I do not have access to the bracers of striking info but thanks for the thought on the armor resist

Here's my take and suggestions:
Hilt Clasp
Useable only on non-magical weapons. If put on a double-weapon, only affects one side. Can add an enhancement bonus to the weapon.
Pricing: As the weapon effect plus perhaps 10%-20% premium because it's transferrable.

Greater Hilt Clasp
As a Hilt Clasp, but useable on magical weapons which have a total enhancement bonus of no greater than +2.
Pricing: Double the cost of the weapon effects plus a 10%-20% premium on top of that.
The problem with pricing this for a magic weapon is the variable nature of any particular weapon. This is probably okay for most campaigns but be aware of abuse.

Gauntlet of Ice and Fire
Flame: 2000gp
Frost: 4000gp
priced as a normal magic weapon
Resist Fire 10pts: ((18,000x1.5)x2)= 54,000gp
Resit Fire 10pts: (18,000gpx1.5)= 27,000gp
priced as the normal armor bonus which is already 1.5 times the ring of the same ability. The 1.5 multiplier is for a non-associated body slot affinity. Resist Fire is doubled as the most expensive property for a Multiple Special Ability item.
Fireball or Coldball 1/day at 10th lvl: ((10x3x1800)/5)=10,800gp
Grand Total: 97,800gp.

Talisman of Spontaneous Arcane Casting
Greater: Keyed to a single spell of 1st-5th level. Use Mordenkainen's Lucbration.
Lesser: Keyed to a single spell of 1st-3rd level. Use Rary's Mnemonic Enhancer.
I'd probably look at either a Pearl of Power or one of the Metamagic Rods for pricing. Essentially it's a 3/day Pearl of Power, but only for one spell. Maybe x2 or x2.5 an equivalent Pearl of Power.

Talisman of Spontaneous Divine Casting
Lesser: Imbue with Spell is probably a good choice.
Price the same as the Arcane one.

Thnaks for the information Seravin it gives me a place to start.

Not a problem.
Note that these are just my best guesses. The gauntlet is the one I'm least sure about. One interpretation of the rules that I came up with made it slightly more expensive.

The Hilt Clasp's biggest problem is how the costing can break down depending on whether it's used on a magical weapon and how powerful the magic weapon is. The only way I can think to overcome that is to limit on what the item can be used on and cost accordingly.
