Price List

Sane magic item prices

The prices are grouped by how the original list expects an item to affect play. Item names link to their corresponding equipment entries where that source is available in Bookwyrm.

Consumables

Consumables represent all items that can be used up when used in their intended manner. By default, consumables are somewhere around one tenth the price of an equivalent permanent item. The scroll prices represent a typical scroll of that level; scrolls with significant direct value, such as scrolls of fabricate or wish, may be priced differently.

Special cost: a Robe of Useful Items costs five times the value of the items it contains.

Combat Items

Combat items are primarily good for killing things. A few have other uses as well, like the luckstone or Ioun Stone of Mastery, but their biggest effect is making their owner better at killing or not getting killed. Increase these prices if you want players mostly getting oddball items that interact less with combat. Weapons and armor add the cost of the base item to their listed price.

Noncombat Items

Noncombat items provide problem-solving abilities not directly related to combat. Some are also useful in combat, but that is not where the bulk of their utility comes from. Increase these prices if you would rather players resort to combat more predictably instead of devising schemes that avoid direct fighting.

Summoning Items

Summoning items give their users new allies to help destroy enemies or solve problems. Most of their value depends heavily on how expensive mercenaries are in the campaign world, so adjust these prices if hiring combat-ready allies is not relatively cheap in your setting.

Gamechanging Items

Gamechanging items significantly affect either the game world as a whole or the kinds of challenge their holders can face. They are not necessarily overpowered, but the GM should decide carefully whether each one suits the campaign and setting.
