12-11-06, 09:07 AM Does anyone have any idea on how to calculate the base price of magical arrows like sleeps arrows or the arrow of slaying?

I want to make some new arrows for my archer and feel like adding some adaptability to him by giving him some arrows with certain magical effects on them.

An example of the kind of arrows I would like would be an arrow of telekinesis that would cast the instantaneous form of telekinesis on the target is struck. More specifically the sudden burst of energy that allows for a trip, disarm or the like.

12-11-06, 09:51 AM Arrows generaly oare produced in lots of 50 - so take the cost per item as normally determined for a weapon and divide by 50.

OR

You could have a poweful "artifact" arrow which cost (roughly) as much as a normal magic weapon but which did not break when fired - in other words a re-usable magic arrow. This latter is entering DM discretion area as it is uncertain if the power of such an arrow would be commensurate with the price.

exactly which part of the power are you trying to use? I am sure that would affect the price also.
