For items that heal damage or produce effects with a crucial duration, maybe, but for an item that produces such minor effects (such as this item, which can only use 0-level spells) it's hardly too powerful. The less powerful the effects, the less flawed the pricing is.That being said, I'm asking what the guidelines in the DMG say about an item of this pricing. And the guidelines show how to make items that use these spells at will. (They also show how to make them usable a certain number of times per day.) I'm quite well versed in the pricing of magic items, and I'll do a little bit of the math for you guys. A slotted item of command-word activation for a 0-level spell would cost 900 gp (1800 base cost x spell level of 0.5 x caster level of 1). However, I've never been clear as to how to price additional effects onto magic items. My group I used to play with simply had each additional effect's cost doubled (the equivalent of having an additional, slotless item), but it came to my attention that this may not be correct (as I recall some chart somewhere saying something about 1.5x for similar effects, and 1.75 for different effects, or somesuch), which makes a lot of sense, considering it's easier to disarm or destroy one item with multiple effects than to disarm or destroy several items.Also, I've never been clear on whether or not a held item is considered slotted or not. So far I've been inclined to say yes (since, as akbearfoot said, it has to be held, and therefore takes up part of what you can hold/wear, unlike an Ioun Stone), I just wanted to make sure.So, since nobody felt it was worth trying to figure out the math, let me just shorten the question: How are additional effects priced? Double? 1.5? 1.75?</blockquote>
