OK our characters have just finished a long adventure, and we have lots of extra gold sitting about, so its time to shop for those long awaited magic items.
We are using the PF books as our main books, but our GM is letting us uses the Magic Item Compendium for its large list of magic stuff.
From reading the rules I know I can combine two magic items of the same slot by (C1 * 1.5 + C2). But what if both items share the same ability? Or you don't want some of the abilities?
While wearing these boots, you are affected as if by a pass without trace spell. In addition, you produce no smell and cannot be detected by the scent extraordinary ability. (6000 gd)
Wearing a pair of these boots, provides you with a +10-foot enhancement bonus to your base land speed, and you can ignore any extra movement costs for difficult terrain. You also leave no tracks, as if affected by pass without trace. When you activate these sandals, you gain the benefit of a water walk spell for 60 minutes. This ability functions once per day. (9000 gp)
The first pair of boots has exactly want I want, but I would also like the bonus to base land speed and the wilderness stride like ability. I think I understand how to add the long strider spell, (CL x SL x 2000 x 1.5 ) = 1 x 1 x 2000 x 1.5 = 3000. Its here that math gets all crazy, and things doesn't seem to add up. You are left with 6000 gd to cover the pass without trace spell, water walking, and the WS. If you go the other way, and see the PWT spell costs (CL x SL x 2000 x 1.5 ) = 1 x 1 x 2000 x 1.5 = 3000 to add to an item, that would leave 3000 for the produce no smell ability.
So either I am very lost, or it is another one of those items that "doesn't add up".
So how would you go about adding them together? Is it cheaper to just take them as is? Is there any discount for overlapping powers? What would it cost to just build it from scratch? PWT, No Smell, WS,and continuous long strider.
Ideas? Suggestions? Help?
