I know there have been a ton of these threads, but these are some questions that have been bothering me for quite some time about enchanting.
so lets start with the max enhancement amount. So a weapon should be able to get to +10 correct? does this mean I can have a +10 longsword? or can I have +10 worth of special abilities on it? Or is it like a split in between?
second, how exactly does adding more enhancements onto an already enchanted or magic item work exactly? what kind of costs do you pay and whatnot? do you pay the differences for putting it up to that enhancement bonus?
as a specific example, I have a 10th level assassin who has a sword of subtlety (Mythic rules are in effect and I was considering making it legendary if that changes anything)
So the sword of subtlety is a +1 shortsword with a fancy effect and requires CL 7th to create.
so lets say I want to add the bane enhancement to my sword of subtlety. what kind of costs and enhancement bonuses am I looking at? Can I not add more enhancements to it since it's a specific magic weapon?
