<p>The mantle of faith has always seemed a bit too high priced to me, but if you think it is pretty good I'd suggest something like:</p>
<p>5000 • DR # for slashing, piercing or bludgeoning
<br />
10000 • DR for cold iron or silver
<br />
15000 • DR for alignment (this comes up to just 1000 lower than the mantle of faith close enough I think).
<br />
20000 • DR for adamantine </p>
<p>Using that system a DR2/bludgeoning shirt would cost 10,000 GP.</p>The 3.5 Magic Item Compendium had the shirt of bones that gave DR3/bludgeoning (as well as shirts for other types) for a market price of 9,000 GP.

The simplest pricing landmark I can suggest within the system is medium adamantine armour, which grants DR 2/- and costs 10k.</p>
<p>Considering this is DR/blunt, halving its cost to 5k seems a reasonable step. If you intend it to stack with other sources of DR, you could leave it there. If not, halving its cost again to 2.5k would be my suggestion.</p>
<p>I'll note adamantine armour is not exactly praised as worth its price in a competitive sense, but if you want to rate it yourself, it would probably require a scaling cost like enhancement bonuses to armour. I think I'd put DR/- at about half the value of the same enhancement bonus to AC (e.g. DR 2/- costs half as much as a +2 armour enhancement). DR/blunt I would again half further, so by that measure it's 1k. That's just my take on it mind.</p>That's a good question.
