Price an item of 1/week sending.

[RangerWickett]

Sending is a 4th level cleric spell. If an item can cast it 1/week, by my math that's:

7 x 4 x 2000 gp. Divide by 35 (since you have 1/7 of a charge per day, effectively). That ends up being a meager 1600 gp. Considering that a scroll of sending, which you can use once, costs 700 gp, I think perhaps 1600 is too cheap.

If I made it 1/day, the party could still use it to stay in touch with folks, but would only send vital information, and it would cost 11,200 gp. For a 7th level party, that's not too bad, is it?

The rule we've used before for 1/wk items in out tabletop game is that they cost 1/2 as much as a 1/day item, and that you can't scale down for time any further than that.
