Re-enchanting


3.5/d20/OGL


Ok, forgive me for possibly asking a stupid question, but I'm at work (no books on me!) and I just had a friend ask me about something.
Hypothetically, let's say I had a +3 fiery burst longsword. Could I have it enchanted to ALSO have something else like thundering or keen, for example? And if so, what would the cost be?

I don't have my books either, but the answer is yes. Take the cost of a +3 thundering fiery burst longsword minus the cost of a +3 fiery burst longsword (that is assuming that a the total enchantment of a +3 thundering fiery burst longsword is <= +10)


Cool, thank you! I guess that makes sense. I didn't think it would be as simple as paying for ONE +1 enchantment.

It's actually the difference between the cost a +7 weapon minus the cost of a +6 weapon, which IS different than just adding the cost a +1 weapon. If that makes sense.


Yeah, I got it, and it does make sense. I'm glad it costs more than just paying for a single +1 enchantment...that happened recently in my Fortress of the Yuan-ti adventure, and it seemed overpowered. Now I'll just give the players the choice of paying the extra loot (if they have it) or something. I don't know, I wouldn't feel right simply taking away powers their weapons already had....

start sundering their weapons then LoL...or have a disenchanter show up...eeek..then put other items of the appropriate level in as replacements.


The difference in cost between a +6 weapon and a +7weapon is $26,000 gold pieces.

I hope this helps. I also hope it doesn't get posted twice. My apologies if it does.
