Refurbishing Magical Items

[3Sheets2theWind]

So... we have come to the problem of finding an evil robe of the archmagi. Problem is, being lawful good and role-playing can't bring ourselves to sell the darn thing knowing that it WILL fall into someone evils hands.

I have decided to pursue the idea of refurbishing the item and making it a good robe of the archmagi. That way when we sell it, something good will come out of it.

Does anyone know if Pathfinder has rules for such thing? I know it's mentally challenged half brother WOTC does. Just did not know if there was some paragraph some where that addresses this topic.

and. speaking of slow half-brothers... I read somewhere that making armor out of dragon hide now gives resistances, is this still the case?

I could just be crazy...

Why is this a problem?

Somewhat related, personally I find "role-playing the characters is a reward in itself" a more suitable way of playing than "everything the characters happen to find or loot should be changeable to gold". I'd burn the damn thing - in the rare occasion I'd be playing a good-aligned character.

(1)Find a big city with an important temple of some LG god.

(2)Go there and bluff/diplomatize the clergy into "buying it for safe keeping", because you "can't be responsible for what happens if you sell it on the open market".

(3)Profit!!!

No. Dragonhide armor provides resistance to the armor itself, but not to the wearer (although if the armor is enchanted with resistance to the same element, the enchantment gets a 25% discount).

To the main question: Is there any reason you can't use the rules that WotC has published for this purpose?
