Fancy Furniture Pricing

[toastedamphibian]

Say I want to make a Chair or Camp Chair out of Darkwood. How would you go about establishing a price? What does a "Masterwork Chair" entail?

The material component for the spell is magical reagents worth the cost difference between a normal item and the equivalent masterwork item (typically 300 gp for a weapon, 150 gp for armor, or 50 gp for a tool). If an object has multiple masterwork options (such as a double weapon, or a spiked shield that could be made masterwork as a weapon or armor), you choose one option of the object to affect (though you can cast the spell again to affect another option).

That 50gp for a tool is consistent with almost every masterwork non-weapon/armor item in print.

To determine the price of a darkwood item, use the original weight but add 10 gp per pound to the price of a masterwork version of that item.

So regular item price + 50 gp (masterwork) + 10 gp/pound (pre-darkwood weight decrease) = final price.

And thank you for not asking for a dev ruling on this as seems to be unfortunately in fashion at this time.

Hmm.... guess I just need to figure out what aspect of which skill I want my chair to give a +2 bonus on.

Knowledge checks in a library? Handle animal checks involving the entertain trick?

Thanks.

If you want fancy furnishings for a whole room, it will cost 300gp to purchase, or half of that to gather the goods and labor to assemble yourself, per the rules for Downtime room building in Ultimate Campaign.

That could easily include things like magnificently carved darkwood furniture with exotic silk cushions and the like.

Honestly, the question arouse for a much stupider cause. Getting a chair light enough that a player character could magehand it while sitting on it.

22lb female grippli sorcerer
Reduce person = 2.75 lbs

1.25 lb tiny chair
Darkwood = .625 lbs

Leaves room for 13lbs of pre-reduce gear.

An easier, but more expensive solution than Mage Handing yourself around could be a Soaring Cathedra.

I got one for my bloatmage.

Oh all sorts of BETTER solutions, no doubt.
