#2 jgumbyrx Aug 29, 2010 10:22:54	well, what specific class abilities are you talking about?

The class is called a Tinker he is looking for something that increases his 'tech score' limit I was mainly hoping to get pointed to items that function by directly stacking on existing class features like something that increases a rogues sneak attack by 1d6 or for instance rings that Increase caster level.  The orange Ioun stone seems to give a pretty solid case for setting a rough formula at Bonus squared x 15k with 2x cost for not taking up a body slot I was just wondering if there were any other items out there I could use to try and establish some sort of base line.
#4 jgumbyrx Aug 29, 2010 14:33:16	okay .... what is this 3rd-party product? (hint: I probably have it)  If I don't know what it is, then I can't help very much. here's the deal ... for stuff like class features, you can't really put a hard formula to it.  because of the huge variability between class features (both in power and in utility), making a magic item that boosts them are highly custom, and should be priced individually based on relative effect. for example .... let's look at the monk's belt.  it treats you as if you were a monk of +5 level for determining various class features. now, lets say than we create an item that lets a wizard cast spells as if he were +5 levels (and I'm not just talking about +5 effective caster level ..... I'm talking about spell slots; but not necessarily spells known). the price difference between those 2 items should probably be 1-2 orders of magnitude; even though, in theory, they do basically the same thing (i.e., increase utility of scaling class features). that probably doesn't help much, but it is what it is.
