[QUOTE="Pyrex, post: 2077821, member: 11600"] Items that need to be held in your hand are not slotless, they take up one of your hand slots. The associated cost here is that it takes move actions to shuffle items around during combat. (if you're holding two light hammers you can't use the Prayer Beads because both your "hand" slots are full. You have to drop/put away the hammers, then retrieve the Beads first). Spell-Trigger is the correct type. That was a goof on my part. 4200gp for one use of 10min +1 caster level is not that cheap. :) I was just pointing out that comparing the cost with the Ioun Stone (which in addition to being Continuous is also Slotless) is a bad comparison when the Karma Bead is only used 1/day for 10min. The template in the SRD for the Staff method is indeed based on 50 charges, but as this is a similar concept it seemed like the best model to use for the Bead of Healing. If I understand your math correctly you're still off by a factor of 2 on the cost of the Karma bead. You forgot to remove the duration modifier (probably x2, based on a duration for the bead of 1min/lvl) costed into the Ioun Stone. Where are you getting the .7x modifier you're using [/QUOTE]
