An item that grants a continuous bonus is not calculated as if it were a continously functioning spell. It's calculated strictly as a bonus derived from the pricing guidelines in the DMG. If you just calculate it as a continuous spell, you get wonky results pretty much across the board.For example, take a maximized bull's strength spell on a belt. Such an item would provide a flat +5 bonus to Strength (this is just an example, even though these types of items generally provide bonuses of +2, +4, and +6). If you calculate the price based upon a maximized bull's strength spell, you get 90,000 gp (5 x 9 x 2,000). If you calculate it based upon the bonus itself, using the guidelines presented in the DMG for ability enhancements, you get 25,000 gp (5 x 5 x 1,000). That's a huge difference, and the later method is the correct one, not the former.See what I mean?</blockquote>
