[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1737378, member: 5777"] I dont have the proper source book with me, but I dont believe the sacred/profane bonuses only work against the opposite alignment unless they specifically note that. Which would incur a price reduction if they did (limited usefulness across the board) but wouldnt be worth considering in either way for this example. Also, for those who are saying that they would not allow the 30% reduction most/all times just remember: trading one cost for another. Making something useable only by monks? not a cost, so not a fair trade. If you will note in the example I made the character has to be a monk of a certain order that made the robes, there has to be a special ceremony performed just to be able to use them, and any other bonuses of types already in the robes from other sources will not function. The first is not a cost, it is flavor. The second can be a cost, but is a minor one and also mainly flavor. The third one however has some serious meat to it. Put them altogether (spiced up a little here and there of course, that was only a first draft) and it is an actual cost that could be represented by the price reduction. Note that this item is being made by the dm, if a player wished to make a similar item there would be a lot of roleplaying involved to make it possible, which I think is nothing but good for the game ;) some will disagree of course, I just wanted to put that forward.
