Yet another pricing question...


Homebrew and House Rules


I would like some help with the pricing of this item. Since it is an item that the PCs will find in my game, the question is more, what would be a fair price for them to sell it, if they don't want it.

Blade of Sands
Type: Weapons
Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) conjuration and evocation
CL: 10
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, flame blade, sand whirlwind
Price: ???? gp
Cost: ???? gp
Weight: 4
Description: The blade of sands is a scimitar made in the deserts of Osirion. It is well balanced and can be used in conjunction with the Weapon Finesse feat.
This weapon functions as a +1 flaming scimitar, in addition the wielder can use the following abilities:


  • Blinding Sands: When the wielder scores a critical hit with this weapon, the target is blinded for 1d4 rounds, unless he succeeds on a Fortitude save (DC 13 + your Dexterity modifier). This ability needs no activation.
  • Sands of Decay: Whenever you reduce an enemy to negative hit points with a hit from this weapon you gain concealment until the start of your next turn. This ability needs no activation.
  • Whirlwind of the Ages: Once per day, when you hit an opponent with this weapon, you may activate this power. You create a stationary whirlwind of sand in a 10 ft. radius centered on your target. This whirlwing persists for 10 rounds and is considered diffcult terrain for your enemies and obscures their vision, as a fog cloud. Your allies can move and see through the whirlwind as normal. Activating this ability is an immediate action.


Anyone a good guess?


Don't have my books with me. If someone hasn't helped by this weekend, I'll see what I can do after looking through the books.

My guess it is _at least_:
a +2 masterwork sword = 8300
plus Greater Sand Whirlwind use activated once per day = 5x9X2000/5 = 18000
plus similar power normal sand whirlwind use activated = 3x5x2000*75%= 22500 (actually 2 powers but special use activation required)
plus something for the weapon finesse

So 50K+?

That seams resounable, I will put it at 46.000gp to make sure that my players will want to keep it. Thanks
