Partial Prayer Beads

[0-hr]

If I wish to buy a Necklace of Prayer Beads with just a "Bead of Karma" on it, how much does it cost?

A strand of prayer beads has a bead of healing, a bead of karma, and a bead of smiting.
...
Reduce the price of a strand of prayer beads that is missing one or more beads by the following amounts: bead of healing –9,000 gp, bead of karma –20,000 gp, bead of smiting –16,800 gp.
...
Price 9,600 gp (lesser), 25,800 gp (standard), 95,800 gp (greater).

So 25,800 - 9,000 - 16,800 = 0

By the book, it looks like they're free!

I believe I saw an unofficial solution to this somewhere something about the beads being slightly mispriced typo kindof thing, or maybe the whole strand itself.

still though, you cant make one with only that bead to begin with, and with those numbers it sounds like a single karma bead would be 20k.

If your DM decides to charge you 20k for just the Karma bead, you're still okay.

A strand with just the Healing bead has a market price of -1000gp - shopkeepers will pay you to take it off their hands. So just pick up twenty of those. That'll net you 20k, and then you can afford the house-ruled overpriced Karma bead
