A question on Magic Weapons

[Mihalis00]

Hi there,

Even after playing for a while, I am still boggled by Magic Weapons and Armor. So, I ask you how it works with a scenario:

A +1 dagger costs 2000 + Masterwork costs etc, right?

So, does a +1 dagger with Flaming (cost= +1 Bonus) cost 4000 + Masterwork costs etc?

I originally thought that's how it works but another player in my group has informed me otherwise. He thinks that the "+1 Bonus" cost for flaming means it is the cost of a +2 weapon. So, does that mean a +1 dagger with flaming would cost 8000 + Masterwork costs etc?

Sorry if this is confusing, but I'm really confused by the whole lot of it.

Thanks.

Your player is right. Cost is based on total bonus, including special properties.

Ok, I'm glad that is clear. I have some unintended cheating to fix.

Thanks.

If a Property such as Flaming says +1 or the like, it is just an easy way for you to add up costs. So if you want a +3 sword with an equivalent +3 worth or properties then you buy as a +6 weapon.
