Ring of Giant Size

[atomn]

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the cost of a Ring of Giant Size, useable 3 times per day. Did I get this right:

(Spell level x caster level x 1,800 gp) / (5/charges per day)=

(Spell level 7 x Wu Jen 13 x 1,800 gp) / (5/3)=

(7 x 13 x 1,800 gp) / 1.66666=

98,280 gp

Thanks!

Per the rules it looks correct.

Awesome, thanks for the check!

I would call it 100,000gp. It's uniquely powerful, and deserves a little surcharge. Maybe for all the pretty emeralds on it or something.

I'd be tempted to just figure out the cost of all the bonuses and see what that equals instead.

That'd work too. A its current cost, an extra 1,720 gp wouldn't be that big of a difference.

Although this is technically feasible, I would disallow it due to the fact that the spell is personal.

WotC only disallowed personal spells in Potions, but I think that they should seriously be regulated in Rings and Wondrous Items.

As a little backstory, I wanted this because I'm making a fighter who is focussed on grappling. The problem is that any grapples with a foe more than one size larger than you automatically fail. In case he ever ran into a Huge, Gargantuan or Colossal foe, he'd lose his typical fighting style. Which is why I figured a Ring of Giant Size would be nice, so he could go up against those foes. But in my calculations I forgot that the size you grow to depends on the level of the caster. A 13th level Wu Jen could only make a ring to grow to Huge. To grow to Gargantuan the Wu Jen would need to be at least 16th level (so the ring would cost 120,960 gp) and to grow to Colossal the Wu Jen would need to be at least 19th level (so the ring would cost 144,216 gp). But a more cost effective way to get around it, is to get a Ring of Expansion. That could be used to grow to Huge and would only cost 21,600 gp. And I'd just have to hope I never ran across a Colossal enemy.

I allow rings a little more power, to make up for their limited slots and higher-level requirement to take the feat. Often for other doodads I will require two item creation feats (e.g. a "potion" of Restoration (1500gp) can only be made with both Brew Potion and Craft Wondrous Item).

Then how about a Ring that lets your size become the size of your "grapple foe", solely for the purpose of grappling?
It won't be much, just a +4, +8, +12 or +16 in your grapple check a couple of times per day, and since it will depend on the adversary you are facing it won't be much of a difference.
Or a ring that gives a +8 size to grappling "grapple as a huge creature"?
