Item creation question


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion


I am wanting to give a character a special suit of armor, and wanted to see if I could get some help on what the item value would be. I want to make a "Chain Shirt of the Barbarian King" The item has the following abilities:
-Mithral Shirt +3
-The wearer gains fast movement, +10', as a barbarian, stacted if worn by a barbarian
-Also can rage 1 additional time a/day.
I know the +3 Mitheral Shirt has a market value of 10100gp, the fast movement could be added on via longstrider spell like the boots of striding and springing, this has a market value of 5500gp, I would guess 5000 for the longstrider. That puts the item up to 15100gp. What market price could I put on the rage?
My goal is to have a market value of 20000gp or less.

Going by the item creation rules,

Mithral chain shirt: 1,100gp
+3 enhancement bonus: 9,000gp
Continuous longstrider: 2,000gp x 1.5 = 3,000gp
Rage +1/day (eyeballed vs. druid's vestment): 5,000gp x 1.5 = 7,500gp

Total market price: 20,600gp

If you make it a plain masterwork chain shirt (250gp), intead of mithril, the market price becomes 19,750gp. Since a chain shirt is light armor already, a barbarian gains limited benefit from a mithril version. If you want to keep it under 20,000gp, then ditch the mithril.

Thank you very much, this will work out fine.
