[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2798843, member: 35788"] Well, as far as the lesser goes: Price = (6,000*Level adjustment) - 3000 gets you right on for 1-level and 2-level adjustments and pretty close to 3-level adjustments. However, it is admittedly way off for 4-level adjustments. EDIT: Assuming these are linear formulas and not quadratic (meaning nothin gets squared) ... I think the lesser rod for +4 level is way off. Using linear mathematical analysis gives a price of around 21,000 as appropriate. This using linear progression - which is NOT always the right way to go (see weapon prices for example because they are not linear progressions). Also, dividing the regular rod price by the lesser rod price gives a result of 3.67 for 1-level, 3.61 for the 2-level, 3.86 for 3-level, and 2.16 for 4-level. That alone tells me something is up with the 4-level lesser price. I'm not saying it is wrong, but something is going on behind the scenes that is not readily apparent. [/QUOTE]
