Unless the base was a multiple of 2.  (2X+10)^3 x 25 for swords, which is (X+5)^3 x 200.  Then a shield could be (X+5)^3 x 100.  2X+10 indicates level 22 for a +6 weapon- level 30 for a +10 weapon.  That's our old system, pretty much.A much shallower curve would be (4X)^3 x 25 = X^3 x 1600.  That gives a +6 weapon at level 24, and +1 every 4 levels.  X^3 x 1000 would correspond to +6 at 21st level, and a +1 about every 3.4 levels thereafter.  That's a very elegant formula.  Shields could be half that amount (x 500 multiplier).  At +10 total bonus the formula would match the ELH formula of X^2 x 10000; that would be at level 35.  A little early for artifacts, perhaps.</blockquote>
