How much would cost a +2 Dagger of Venom?


Homebrew and House Rules


It's all in the title.

I'm making an assassin character, and I'm gonna ask my DM if he's okay with this item.


Well, it looks like a dagger of venom is a specific weapon version of a +1 dagger that costs 8302g. I've not seen rules on improving specific weapons, but you could make the argument that the price breakdown is thus:

Dagger = 2g
Masterwork = 300g
+1 bonus = 2000g
Venom = 6000g

So the cost to upgrade it is the standard 8000 - 2000 = 6000g. So a +2 dagger of venom would be 14302g.

I would treat Venom as a +1 bonus cost. (due to the fact that a Dagger of venom costs the same as a +1 flaming dagger, 8000 gp + masterwork + weapon cost).

Thus a +2 dagger of venom would be a total of a +3 weapon for costs 18,302 gp.

(at least that is how I would work it out)


Thanks for the advice !

Actually it works like this. (Also i know they break it down in Ultimate Equipment i just don't have it yet.)

The Dagger of Venom is just a +1 Dagger, it even says as much in it's description.

+1 Dagger = 2,302 Gold

Then it has a Use Activated Poison effect at Caster Level 5th, 1/Day.

Use Activated = Spell Level(3)x Caster Level(5)x 2,000= 30,000

Charges Per Day(1/Day)= 5/Charges Per Day(1)=5

30,000/5= 6,000

So the Poison effect costs 6,000 Gold.


Thanks for the breakdown. This Ultimate equipment book does look interesting :-) !
