I assume you already know you cannot create other magic rings with the bonded item craft ability as you do not actually have the feat.

I think you should be able to add multiple abilities, but they might not work in tandem (one or the other effect can activate at a time?).

I assume that penalty applies to the Spellcraft check which I will have to make regardless, or does it being a bonded item affect that too?
<p>Does anyone know if I can apply multiple abilities to the ring? Magic Weapons (for instance) exist with multiple abilities but there are no standard magic rings which do, not that I know of... </blockquote><p>Basically here's how the rules go.
<p>Pretend you don't have the arcane bond feature And instead substitute the item craft feats that would be appropriate for your arcane bond item. Now pretend you're crafting a standard magic item and follow all of the normal procedures, requirements, spell craft dc adjustments, costs etc. When you're done forget about the pretend feats and put in the arcane bond designation back.</p>
<p>Basically ALL the arcane bond feature does is let you pretend you have the magic item creation feat(s) you need to get the enchantment done. Everything else, you're still on the hook for as per standard, including DM approval for whatever monstrosity you're going to create. And you get to whip one spell out your library once per day.</p>Wiggz wrote:Guardianlord wrote:Crafting a magic item requires you have the appropriate craft feat (ring), since you have the bonded item (ring) you automatically qualify for crafting it (this particular ring only).

<p>I imagine the character will want to continuously 'upgrade' his bonded item, and it would seem that he can do so at 75% normal cost (150% for additional ability x 50% for bonded object).</p>Zog of Deadwood wrote:The most expensive ability in an item is crafted at normal cost and every additional ability at normal cost x 1.5.
