Hello All,
There is a spell in Complete Adventurer called 'Sniper's Shot' that allows you to make a ranged sneak attack disregarding the 30' maximum that usually applies.
My question is...If I wanted to add this to my ranged weapon as a use activated ability-a la 'Flaming' or 'Sonic'-what should the 'price' be?

+1?
+2?
or some 'set' price as is found in some of the books?

If it only worked 5 times a day? 3 times?

I can figure out what it would 'cost' as a wondrous item, but I wanted to get some opinions from you fine people.

I would say, personally, if you wanted it to work like Flaming, then it would be a lot higher than +1 or +2 IMHO.

Now, if it applied to a few shots per day, +1 or +2 would work, but Sneak Attacking from a long distance is a very powerful thing to do.

ok, from the RAW in DMG i get this

(Spell level) x (caster level) x 1800(if it works like flaming)

which works out to 9000, +cost of masterwork item(the bow)

if you give it charges/day, say 3/day, it would only cost 5.4k, and be far more balanced.

hope that helps
