How Much!
« on: November 26, 2013, 05:52:19 PM »
So I've made these magical collars for cats.  so far so good.  Then I got stupid and invented Collar Charms, which are the little accessories you can attach to collars, and had them act as a second collar, effectively allowing you to wear two magic items on one body slot.  The cost is the same as whatever collar the charm mimics plus x. 

So what does everyone think would be a fair price for x?

Basically the charms are magic items that don't take up a body slot.  Usual pricing is double the cost.

I'd price it like adding additional effects to an item. Maybe with a surcharge or something as they're interchangeable.

Can you add as many charms as you want or are you limited to a set amount?

I was gonna limit it to one so it didn't get too abusive...

So, yeah, same as additional effects, with a small increase to account for interchangeability.

If it's limited to 1, then I would also do it as additional powers.

Although the idea of weapon/armor augment crystals pricing might be an idea.  But I don't know the pricing scheme behind those.

If it's limited to one, rather than doubling why not at cost +50%.

It's limited to one charm at a time, so rather than being slotless (double), it gets a half again-maybe even a +25% since it's *just one*?

I'd say it would depend on the potency of the collars as well. I mean a collar of dex with a charm of cha wouldn't be that big a deal, but a collar of freedom of movement with a charm of evasion would be pretty damned strong.
I wouldn't always have to be right if so many people didn't insist on always being wrong.
