09-13-07, 11:05 AM What would the market price be for an item that takes an item slot and offers magic protection in the form of a +5 resistance bonus on one saving throw (Fortitude, Reflex, or Will)?

Also is there already any magic items that grant bonuses to reflex save only?

09-13-07, 11:09 AM Agility || Reflex Save +1 || 500 gp
Improved Agility || Reflex Save +3 || 4,000 gp
Greater Agility || Reflex Save +5 || 8,000 gp

RAW, it's for anything on the body slot (armor, robe, etc.).

09-13-07, 11:26 AM Thanks, but don't you mean that +3 is 4,500 and +5 is 12,500 (according to MIC you have to have Agility to get Improved Agility and both of them to get Greater Agility).

I was actually leaning to that conclusion that it would cost half as much as +5 to all saves, which is quite steep IMHO.

It might be up to interpretation; but, I read it simply as:

"whatever" Armor of Agility = Ref +1 = 500 gp (+ "whaterver" armor cost)
"whatever" Armor of Improved Agility = Ref +3 = 4,000 gp (+ "whaterver" armor cost)
"whatever" Armor of Greater Agility = Ref +5 = 8,000 gp (+ "whaterver" armor cost)

Go to your local magic armor smith and buy whichever one you want!

If your imbuing existing armor with Greater Agility, I don't see why you have to pay for Agility and Improved Agility on top of that. That would be like paying for a +1 bonus, a +2 bonus, and a +3 bonus... just to get a +3 bonus!

Well Improved Agility and Greater Agility specifically mentions that they have Synergy Prerequisite.

09-14-07, 07:12 AM I'd say use the standard rules for crafting an item that provides resistance bonuses! Of course, as it only applies to one of the three, divide it by 3. 5^2*1000/3=8333
Seems reasonable.

Hmm, simple yet effective. Why didn't I figure that!?

I decided to add those Agility enchantments on my armor after all.

Thanks for all the comments.
