02-10-06, 05:45 AM I am thinking about making a magic item, one that consumes a normal slot that would grant a weapon enhancement.

I am curious how people would handle this, particularily if a reasonable scale can be arrived at then it would be easy to use for any given enhancement by checking the + cost.

The thing that really throws me is that when putting enhacements on weapons the price scales and this would be a way to avoid that. It is because of this I do not know how to price the item.

For example a pair of bracers that grant the Bane(Fey) property to any weapon you weild, including natural weapons.

Thoughts?

02-10-06, 08:00 AM Check out the Scabbard of Keen Edges or the Sacred Scabbard for official examples. Using a standard action to activate it makes this kind of item much less useful at high levels, where actions are extremely important (since combat is often over in two or three rounds).

As a matter of pricing, consider the items above, and consider the DMG rules for custom item creation for the cost of an item in that slot that grants continuous use of an appropriate spell, like Foebane from Spell Compendium. This will be an expensive item.

1) Negating the Exponential nature of weapon pricing.

2) Use on multiple weapons

The simplest solition is as follows.

1) It only applies to non-magical weapons/attacks, or costs double normal price.

2) It applies to all attacks you use but costs triple (like the Amulet of Mighty Fists)

--------------------------

Here are the three versions you might be interested in:

Lesser Bracers of Magical Fay bane.

All attacks you make with the last weapon you held while activating the Bracers gets the benefits of being Fay Bane,
Cost is 12,000 gp.

Mundane Bracers of Many Fay Bane.

Any attack you make while wearing this strike gets the benefits of being Fay Bane, as long as the strike is not otherwise magical.
Cost is 18,000 gp.
-----------
Greater Bracers of Magical Fay bane.

All attacks you make while wearing the Bracers gets the benefits of being Fay Bane.

Cost is 36,000 gp.
