And I like the cubic wealth formula for epic characters. We simply need to determine what we deem appropriate/desirable for characters of a certain level to possess.It would be nice if we could maintain a continuity in item pricing, though, i.e:Type I:Ability bonus (enhancement)Armor bonus (enhancement)Save bonus (resistance)Type II:AC bonus (deflection)Natural armor bonus (enhancement)Save bonus (sacred, profane, insight or luck)Weapon bonus (enhancement)Type III:AC bonus (sacred, profane, insight or luck)The cost ratio in the DMG is 2<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/4.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":4:" title="Four    :4:" data-shortname=":4:" />5, and it would please me if we could maintain that. My only real concern is stat-boosting items which force higher spell DCs - I think that this could be problematic in conjunction with multiple Heightens from AMC. At the same time, I'm reluctant to cap them, and I don't want to price mental stat items differently than physical ones.[I would suggest that we revisit the [augment] seed to see gain a clearer perspective, here].I think bonus^3 x 200 : bonus^3 x 400 : bonus^3 x 500 might work - especially if we're looking at things in terms of 3 x 25% items, rather than 1 x 25% plus 3 x 10% items. Honestly, I think I'd prefer that anyway. I also think that they really should be 25% items, though - not 27% or 29%. Individual DMs can award whatever treasure they like, of course, but I think we should stick tightly to the guidelines.I'll whip up a 30th-level fighter (armor x 200; weapon x 400) just for kicks, to see how it looks.</blockquote>
