I sent in a comment on the web page, but thought I might add it here too. If Caster level is reduced to three and the first level spell, protection from evil is used instead of magic circle against evil, then the cost becomes 6000 anyway, which seems about right to me as well.

I also think that those barred entry should be allowed a saving throw; so as to make the protection less sure against more powerful evils (a common trope: powerful demons sneer at wards their minions can't overcome).

Its a nice item though and something most homes would have, even if only in a more minor form - I could see a cheaper version being available for the peasants.

I'm nervous about being misunderstood, having made some light-hearted comments elsewhere on the internet this week only to have them taken as a serious rant.

Interesting.

On a more serious note, I like the potential with this item. I think I may have an NPC use this against a specific PC. For example, the PCs storm the bad guys hide-out but the Paladin can't cross the thresh hold. Let's see you take him down without your holy meat shield! Mua-ha-ha!

This could be a good challenge for groups that use the same combat routines in order to force them to make some adjustments.


@Joe;

Just make sure the Meat shield has something to do, like have some minions then ambush him outside, or if he has a ranged weapon remind him he can still use that.

Depends on which of my lists he is on at the time.

I normally would not single someone out like that without providing some diversion. Maybe ALL the PCs are kept out as the evil nemesis laughs at them. He might yell, "You think you are dealing with a half-wit? I've known you were coming for me before even YOU knew it!" Then he proceeds to gather all of his (very visible) expensive magic items and steps through a magic portal to destination unknown.

A lot of potential here. I'd have to come up with a counter-measure the PCs could uncover with some research though.

That could be a great idea. The paladin of Iomedae can't enter this place of unspeakable evil, so while the other brave souls enter without their holy support, the paladin has to stand outside, fighting of a half-score of the evil overlord's half-fiend minions as they try to reinforce him.
