I brought an idea to my DM the other day about the Chasuble about why there isn't one greater than +2d6. The +1d6 one costs as much as a +2 weapon, the +2d6 one costs as much as a +3 weapon. So why not higher ones upto +9d6 costing as much as a +10 weapon?

He agreed, and added them to his campaign. Now, I know he's biased on Warlocks (they are his favorite class), and we have 2 warlocks in the party (and I'm not one of them), but I suggested an alterantive so that Warlocks didn't take over the world with their +9d6 neck slots. 1d6-(+2), 2d6-(+3), 3d6-(+5), 4d6-(+7), 5d6-(+10), 6d6-(+14), 7d6-(+20), 8d6-(+29), 9d6-(+43), ...

I don't know the name of the pattern but I know it goes 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34... thats what I suggested for the price scaling on the higher chasubles. He ignored me.

Thoughts?

I'd argue that the price should continue along the lines of an enhancement bonus. Hence, after the +5, it would trigger the epic x10 multiplier.

thats basically what my suggestion was, a +5d6 chasuble would cost as much as a +10 weapon, and everything else would cost as much as epic weapons and require craft epic wondrous. But he didn't go with that idea, so now +9d6 costs 200k.

Fibonacci.

As for the other stuff... learn from this mistake.

Well, Warlocks are underpowered, so this might not be too overpowering. If it is and if he is smarter than a squid, he will realize this and be merciful and either adopt your idea of Fibonacci-ing the price, ban the ideas, or just bask in the glory of his favorite class pwning all. In sinerios 1 and 2 all will be fine and dandy, but in #3 I suggest you find or make a new group.
