I have been reading through the Ptolus previews, and found this description of the greatsword of one of the main characters:
From http://www.montecook.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?mpress_Ptolus_comic2
"This blade is a +5 unholy defender greatsword. It adds a +4 enhancement bonus to the wielder's Strength and it allows her access to haste (self only) as a spell-like ability 1/day. Plus, it has all the powers of a hungersword: made of black adamantine, its every strike inflicts one negative level if the victim fails a Fortitude saving throw (DC 22). When a negative level is inflicted, the wielder gains 5 temporary hit points, to a maximum of 50 hit points in a given day, at which time the sword inflicts no more negative levels. The hit points last no more than twenty-four hours."
I wanted to price this out in order to put a rough estimate on Sheva's level.
adamantine 3,000
+8 enhancement 128,000
ability bonus +4 16,000
haste effect ?
hungersword effect ?
Any other ideas on pricing?
Also, if I read the rules right, the creator’s caster level must be at least three times the enhancement bonus of the weapon. That puts the creator at minimum 24th level. Does that make this an artifact?
