Ring of enlarge person?

[jason_gosse]

I am trying to create a ring of enlarge person but am having some trouble working out the price. Does anyone have an idea of how much it would cost?

There is one in savage species, but I don't the book with me.

That's not a good idea.

Some spells are a bit unbalanced if allowed in non limited items... e.g. CLW. By the rules you might craft a 2000gp ring IIRC that allows you to cure yourself for 1d8+1 points each round...

i really dont see a problem with such a ring anyway...

I see no problem with it if its price is adjusted to match the utility of the effect. I suggest about 20,000 gp. I consider it about as useful for a fighter as a Ring of Invisibility would be for a rogue.

Well, Enlarge Person is:
+2 Size to strength
-2 Size to Dex
-1 Size to AC
-1 Size to Attack
Extra reach (for medium or larger persons)
Extra space (for medium or larger persons)
+damage (size change).


Now, mostly it means the Wizard/Sorcerer doesn't need to take an extra round to buff the Fighter into a combat control monster (a Fighter with a reach weapon and either Armor Spikes or a spiked floating shield to bash with - or a Spiked Chain, but that costs a feat, which the Fighter gets a lot of) as the Fighter is so already due to the constant ring.

Now, if it was a cursed ring (wouldn't come off), it could make for an interesting item - can't stay at the inn, armor and weapons cost twice as much, no horse can carry you, some dungeons you just can't get into, et cetera.

I'm inclined to say it should be more expensive than the ring of invisibility. Just my guts though.
