Message: <blockquote data-quote="dok" data-source="post: 1031683" data-attributes="member: 12780">A few gripesIf you want a Bead of Karma from a Strand of Prayer Beads, it costs 20,000 gp. Or 0, depending on which strand you get it from...The "animated" shield enhancement is unchanged, which means it still sucks to try & fight with weapon & shield, since you can use a two-handed weapon with an Animated Shield for the same AC. (It actually sucks more now, thanks to revised Power Attack)Luckblade (three wishes): 142,960, with a creation price of 71,480 gp +5,718 xp. -8K for the +2 bonus, -2K for the luck bonus on saving throws & - 310 for the Masterwork shortsword leaves us with 132,650 gp market price for three wishes & the once/day reroll power.A 'book of stat increase +3' is 82,500 gp, with a creation price of 3,750 gp + 15,300 xpA ring of Three Wishes is 97,950 gp, and costs 11,475 gp + 15,918 xp. Someone want to explain why a Luckblade costs nearly 1/3 the XP as the Ring of Three Wishes?Somebody wanna try explaining why three wishes dedicated solely to ability score increases (the books) gets a 15% market price reduction, an 80% creation price reduction, but only a 618 xp adjustment as compared to the unrestricted wishes in the Ring?I haven't looked up the cost for NPC spellcasting, but I suspect there are going to be more wierdness for comparing the costs of having an NPC spellcaster cast Wish three times.(oh, and please don't reply with "IMC, we don't allow characters to buy wishes!" That's not what I'm griping about. I'm trying ot figure out why the internal game mechanics are so inconsistent.)</blockquote>
