Item Point Costs

These are the general guidelines for all item creation.

- No item can have Haste, True Sight, Freedom of Movement, or Improved Evasion as permanent abilities.
- No item may grant the wearer to combat feats such as Called Shot or Knockdown.
- No item can have blanket immunity to a category of effects, ie; (death magic, mind spells, sneak attacks, etc).
- No item may have melee damage reduction or soak a slot that can be hotkeyed and shifted during combat. This basically limits it to shields, visible helms, and armor.

Point Caps:
(Level 7-14) Tier 1 to 3.5: 75 points
(Level 15+) Tier 4 and 4.5: 110 points
(Level 20+) Artifact Tier: 140 points
(Level 21+) Tier 5:
(Level 21+) Ascension: --

Ascension Tier 1: 165 points
Ascension Tier 2: 205 points
Ascension Tier 3: 250 points

- Items may be given a cost reduction for impacting flaws/curses/etc and special limitations (for instance, an item that gives bonus spell slots, but for which the bonus spell slots must be used for necromancy spells). Subject to Admin approval.
- Certain specific items, when following the rules literally, end up being excessively expensive. This may be discussed with an Admin.
- Properties not listed below are subject to Admin approval.

This property can only be put on armour and shields. In addition, the item can only negate its own penalty; not more.

Cast Spell (Spell Level)
0 - Non-Factor
1 - 5 points
2 - 10 points
3 - 20 points
4 - 25 points
5 - 35 points (Tier 4 and 4.5)
6 - 40 points
7 - 50 points
8 - 60 points (Ascension/Artifact)
9 - 70 points (Ascension 2)
This is per day. If an item has multiple uses of the same spell, you multiply it x the amount. However, if the item has different spells of the same level, you add 50% on the cost of second/third/etc use. This rule also applies to spell combinations if they are not of the same level and if they essentially represent a goodie bag. Flame Weapon + Elemental Shield would be an item that is not a goodie bag, while Flame Weapon + Improved Invisibility would be. Please keep in mind that these values are essentially averages. Some spells are worth more than the values listed for their level, while others are worth less. This also depends on how accessible the spell is in the module.
- For example - while Shadow Shield and Delayed Blast Fireball are both the same spell level, Shadow Shield is clearly superior and would be worth the full point cost, whereas Delayed Blast Fireball may not. Also, while Haste is quite useful, potions of Haste are readily found all across the module, so 20 points may be a bit steep for the spell.
When it comes to charges, 25 charges of a spell on an item is equal to 1/day. You can extrapolate from there. Do keep in mind that once an item is out of charge, it is destroyed. When in doubt about items that cast spells, especially when you are close to the point limit of your item, you should feel free to contact the admin.
When adding spells to an item that does not need to be equipped the activate the spell, costs are increased by 50%.

Bonuses versus Alignment/Race/Damage Type

If you want to calculate how much an armor class/attack bonus/enchantment bonus/damage bonus against a specific race/alignment or such costs, you apply the following modifiers. It should be noted that if an item also has a value that applies versus everything, the modifier only applies over the difference between the main value and versus value.

Ab/AC/Enhancement bonuses that apply against an alignment group/race/damage type (for AC) have their level restriction lowered by 1. So a weapon with +5 versus humans would be a level 15+ item, not a level 21+ item.

Versus Alignment Group(Good, Chaos, Law, Evil) - 0.6 Versus Alignment Group (Neutral) - 0.75 Versus Specific Alignment - 0.25 Versus Damage Type (AC only) - 0.4

Versus Race: Outsider - 0.6 Undead - 0.5 Human - 0.4 Aberration, Elemental, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Gnome - 0.25 Orc, Dragon, Goblinoid, Monstrous Humanoid, Magical Beast, Reptilian, Construct - 0.20 Shapechanger, Fey, Ooze - 0.15 Animal, Vermin - 0.10

If a single item has multiple bonuses versus race; the most expensive race keeps its modifier but other races have their modified halved. So a property against both Outsiders and Undead would have a modifier of 0.6+0.25=0.85.

Example item: +4 Enchantment Sword, with +5 versus Undead. +4 Enchantment = 50 points +5 Enchantment versus Undead = (75-50) x 0.5 = 12.5 Total= 62.5
