Two items taking the same slot, both necessary - Help!


Rules Questions


As a paladin with a charisma of 26, it only makes sense to start my own following. I've taken leadership, and am considering changing my cohort from the sorceress it is now to an oracle, as it makes more in-game sense, and even though she's of lower level, invaluable to the party. However, I realized I can't give her a Phylactery of Positve Channeling and a Headband of Cha. Is there a way to move one of them to another slot? My DM said something once about it costing 1-1/2 the price and you can do it, but I just wanted to be sure. Is it possible?


You can combine two same-slot items into a single item of that slot; you just need to pay 1.5 times as much for the cheaper of the two item.

Some GMs allow equivalent items to be crafted for a different slot; some don't.


It is. Your gm is giving you an option, and I believe by RAW that is the correct one.


you an additional 50% of the lowest priced enhancement onto the stacked item. You only have to do this once.


The relevant rule for stacking them from magic item creation.

Multiple Different Abilities: Abilities such as an attack roll bonus or saving throw bonus and a spell-like function are not similar, and their values are simply added together to determine the cost. For items that take up a space on a character's body, each additional power not only has no discount but instead has a 50% increase in price.


Oh, sweet. Thanks guys!
