[QUOTE="Trench, post: 3997274, member: 40464"] I'm running a PbP City Watch game in Ptolus. As a result of the format, and the fact that most of the PC's are actually somewhat honest- loot often goes unclaimed or left. So I'm trying to make up for it. The PC's are currently 3rd level. I recently awarded them a message badge, inspired by the magic item from the Blackcloak Watch pdf sold right here on EN World. That magic item runs for 2500 gold and can use the message spell between recipients of the badges within 150 feet. For the Ptolus campaign, I want to extend that range to 1500 feet, as Ptolus is a large city. This will allow PC's to communicate (they split up often on investigations) but also prevent it from being horribly abused if they're a few districts away. Is it just a simple matter of adding the extend spell range metamagic feat and up the price? Or could I mitigate the price a bit by making them similar to walkie talkies, forcing them to speak as opposed to whisper a la the message spell and prevent them from abusing the real sneaky properties? So how much would a message badge with a range of 1500 feet cost? [/QUOTE]
