Thanks for the extra info.  Added together it would come out to 109,000 - 30% for alignment specific = 76,000 ish.  So rounded to 75k for a nice number.  Makes sense.

Hmmm Mighty Wallop wouldn't work though, since it requires a Bludgeoning weapon.  I will certainly keep that in mind if I play a monk though.   :D

Any thoughts on the Robes of the Archmagi's cost though? (I edited the first post instead of making a new thread since it relates to the original topic a bit.)

And then putting Greater Mighty Whallop on top. Cost effective way to get lots of effective bonuses in a hurry.

Ironwood Spiked Chain.

I heard you like spikes so I put Spikes on your spikes so you can spike with your spiked chain.

Hmmm, that is an interesting idea.  Automatically treated as +1....

Though we were thinking of going with Glassteel.  More expensive, but a golden glowing crystal chain of devil/demon eating goodness just has a certain appeal.  (Will have to ask DM about Fleshgrinding undead that have flesh though, since it does technically say living targets only.)

I just want to make sure I understand it right.  If I am correct, you can make an item up to a  +10 in bonuses or 200,000 GP in value pre-epic [MIC].  You can have a maximum of +5 enhancement bonus pre-epic; and an enchanted item requires at least a +1 enhancement bonus by default.

So a +1 Holy, Sacred, Fleshgrinding Spiked Chain of Sizing: would be priced as a +6 weapon, +5,000 gp for sizing?
And would only give +1 to attack and damage? (not +6)

I just want to clarify since one of our group members was saying the bonuses acted like enhancement bonus.  Meaning that if we had a +5 in other bonuses;we'd also get +5 to attack and damage.  Which from my reading of the DMG and MIC is incorrect.

Part 2:
Robes of the Archmagi - I'm curious how these get priced out.  +5 armor bonus (+25k); +4 to all saving throws (+16k); SR 18 (+4 bonus or 5?; +16k-25k) + misc extras (~10k for a feat; Spell Penetration).
It's listed as 75k.  It seems like armor bonus (not enhancement) and saving throw bonus are not considered +X Bonuses, while SR is correct?

As a pixie the SR is rather moot; and the SR penetration while nice will also be moot at higher levels. Vitriolic Blast...  :D

So a Robes (or bracers) or Armored Resistance would be 50k? (25k for +5 armor bonus, +25k for +5 to all saving throws)? and only 25k to craft?

Can a warlock emulate being a dragon, using Use Magic Device, in order to gain maximized eldritch blasts?

(Draconomicon, pg 82)
"..., and applies the effects of the Maximize Spell feat the dragons spells and spell-like-abilities.  These benefits come at no cost to the dragon, ... and its maximized spells do not require a higher level spell slot."

The "..." being notes about the items affects on the dragons breathe weapon.

Hello again, it's me Oni.  Back to read all the wonderful handbooks for great ideas for the rare times I get to play in campaigns.

I started off with RPG's playing Neverwinter Nights.  I spent quite a bit of time scripting code for the game with the PrCC; helping add many classes to the game.  Myself I worked on the Frenzied Berserker, Tempest, and a few others while mostly overhauling the scripted combat engine.  I was planning to continue on in NwN2: but the game used an older version of the engine and we couldn't port it over.  I haven't really worked in it years though, as shortly after NwN2 came out I lost interest -- especially since we couldn't port our code over.

It wasn't until after that I started playing PnP.  DnD 3e first, then 3.5e.  Now we sometimes play GURPS, World of Darkness (Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf the Apocalypse). I have some exposure to a few other systems, but not a whole lot really.

I enjoy programming, photo editing, web design, and blowing the crap out of <insert creature type> with eldritch blasts. =)
