Smite Attack item pricing

[RedShirtNo5]

Sacred sash, usable 2/day, swift action to activate, next melee attack that round does +2d6 holy damage if opponent is evil.

For some reason I'm having trouble pricing. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

IIRC a Belt of One Mighty Blow costs 1500gp and gives you 1/day +2d6 damage. Based on that, I'd probably Ad Hoc a cost at 3500gp.

Thanks, is that from magic item compendium?

Yes.

Hi,
Does the +2d6 holy damage make the rest of the damage from that attack holy? If so I'd say 3000 would be about right, maybe 4000. If not, 2000 would be a good number IMO. The restriction of only working against evil can be quite limiting.

Why not just Holy enchant a Weapon? Same effect, no? attack related.. yes... balanced.. yes.. And everyones happy

2 times per day.. hmm.. i would go for 3,5 K too... (limited number) Seems fair etc. holy as weapon enchant is +2 and is unlimited.. so

I've got to pick up magic item compendium. Too many cool items. I suppose it is not a surprise that I picked the same slot as the MIC item.

My concept is that the attack would not be wholly holy. Sort of a weird hybrid, but only the +2d6 would bypass appropriate DR.

Limitation to evil is actually not a big problem IMC. Planar adventures with lots of evil opponents, particularly evil outsiders.

I didn't want a holy weapon because I wanted something with significantly lower market price that nearly any PC (other than the pure spellcaster) can use.

Seems like 3k is appropriate for my campaign.
