Shopping for Magic

[soppathekeitto]

MAGIC ITEMS
Savah’s Armory is the best place to go to get magic weapons
and magic armor, while the best place for other magic items
is the Feathered Serpent. Prices for items always in stock are
listed on the table to the right. You can also randomly roll up to
one minor magic weapon (page 50) and one minor wondrous
item (pages 56–59) to be for sale as well—these random items
should change every time the PCs finish a new quest

So i just roll for the d% dices and that decided what item(S) ar in stock before quest and after quest they change.

ok but

Lets say that only one of the party survive and lootet all the GP from the other member and got like 4000gp and he got 800 all ready so 4800gp so he buys -Any +1 weapon +2300x2 means that he get +2 to AR and +2DMG rolls. 4800 - 4600 = 200gp ? is that right ?

[DonDuckie]

I'm not entirely sure what the question is, but you should add the cost of the weapon or armor to the price listed for those, so +1 chainshirt is 100 + 1150 gp. The list appears to be what is always in stock, and only one item changes during adventures.

A +1 weapon gives you +1 to attack and damage, I don't know if the beginner box includes rules for wielding two weapons. If it doesn't, he gains no benefit from the second +1 weapon unless it deals a different type of damage: Slashing, piercing, bludgeoning, but he would only use one at a time.

[soppathekeitto]

first question is about thos random magic items for the shop
and the second is that can the player buy +1 for twice like you but

+1 chainshirt is 100 + 1150 gp so the AC is then +4 +1 = +5?
but if he insteat buy two times that +1 so

100 + 1150 +1150 to get +2 to the armor so chainshirt is +4 and +2 = +6

or is it that you can only buy one time that +1 to any armor, weapon or shield ?

[DonDuckie]

Yes, you roll once for the random item, it's less important if you do it before or after the adventure.

He can only "buy one" +1 for an item at that price.

a +2 armor/shield would be +4150 gp, and a +2 weapon would be +8300 gp. There's a formula to it.

[Dazz]

What Don said.
If you're curious, the formula for magic weapons is: bonus² x 2000 +300 +cost of weapon.
Armor/shields are bonus² x 1000 +150 +cost of armor/shield

i.e. a +5 weapon would be:
5² x 2000 + 300
25 x 2000 + 300
50,000 + 300
50,300 (+cost of base weapon)

[MurphysParadox]

Yeah, you are not buying the +1 enchantment to add to your own stuff. You are going in and saying "that magic armor on the armor rack looks nice; I would like to buy and wear it". Then you sell them your old armor (half price) and put on the new magic armor +1.

[soppathekeitto]

THANKS for answering and clearing things for me. +5 weapon is way expensive B). But now i can clarify this thing to my PC because they where wondering how the +1 items works. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU !

[soppathekeitto]

do you sell normal and masterworks items for halfprice like magic items ?

and this feels like stupid questions. i see minor and major on the items i think i know that minor is for the 1-3lvl but major is 4-5? but what is the difference ? +1 armor minor 1-62 and major 1-13 i know that you roll the d%

[DonDuckie]

Everything (almost) is sold for half price.

It's just probabilities of getting it, and I suspect the major item table needs room for more advanced stuff.

[soppathekeitto]

I hope that this is last question is the +1 do we mark that to Attack Bonus box and Dmg section ? So the rule if you got attack bonus +1 or higher you can draw a weapon as free action and so on.

and this is buggin me now even thought the armor or shield is MAGIC you just but the +1 to the shield box or armor box not in the magicbox in the AC section ?

[DonDuckie]

the draw as free action is based on Base Attack Bonus, which is determined only by level and class, not items.

So the +1 is only weapon attack bonus and weapon damage.

Yes, the +1 of armor and shield is added to the bonus from that item, the MAGIC box is for items such as "Ring of Protection +1"

[soppathekeitto]

i got txtmessage one of the PC -fighter he asked me that if she sold the +1 dragon-bane long sword do she get 8310 or 4155 and asked do she have to give gp to other PC ( i told her that halfprice 4155 and depents what aligment she is ) i think if she is lawful good then she (have to give 1/4 for each PC ) is this correct thinking ?

[DonDuckie]

Yes, 4155 gp.
The rules don't cover how to distribute wealth of sold treasure, and a character can justify any scenario with any alignment. And more importantly alignment never dictates actions. Players decide the actions of their character.

Personal opinion, anyone who helped in getting the treasure should benefit from it. You don't want your players to get to far apart in wealth/power, as it can disrupt the fun of some.

It's also a benefit to be on even footing powerwise, because it strengthens the group and makes it less vulnerable to (temporarily) losing the stronger member.
