Here is another item by me for you. Critique, steal, love or hate.
DESNA’S SUDDEN ACCESS
Aura strong transmutation; CL 10th
Slot ----; Price 175,000; Weight 1 lb.
DESCRIPTION
Appearing as a tarnished bronze doorknob, this item is capable of creating a 3x6 foot door. When the user holds the knob on any flat, solid surface that is at least 4x7 square feet and speaks the command word, the door is created along with the frame.
The door and the frame are made of wood, and it is hinged in bronze in the middle enabling it to swing both ways. The door goes to 1 foot of depth and has a knob on both sides, but lacks a locking mechanism. If the door is grown onto a surface thicker than 1 foot, it still only grows to 1 foot of depth. As such, the door can only be opened towards the user.
In addition, the door can be dismissed in the same way it is created. The door can only be created and dismissed each once per day. Also, the door will not work on any magical surface or any surface that has been magically treated.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, passwall; Cost 90,000 gp
considering that this item only works 1/day (both ways) and only really works on thin walls, I think this item is very overpriced.
if this item let you pass to the other side of any thickness of wall, or had more uses per day, then it might justify the price.
as is it is interesting but my characters wouldn't buy it.
how about having it activate as passwall ? minimum caster level for the spell being 9th would allow you a tunnel 25' deep. even if you kept it at the minimum for the spell (10') it would be a vast improvement.
Let the effect do the same thing as passwall does for easier use of item and spell effect. Just keep the unigue fluff.
Passwall is Spell level 5, Caster level 9th
Command word (cheaper) = (5 x 9 x 1,800) = 81,000
Charges per day 1 = ( 81,000 divided by 5) = 16,200
Slot: -- so no space limitation = (16,200 x 2) = 32,400
Duration of spell (passwall is 1 hour/level, so would say it is a wash)= (32,400 x 1 ) = 32,400
So would price it at
32,400 retail
16,200 creation cost.
pass wall for 32,400 or cheaper if I make it, that would be cool. I may have to look into this for my pathfinder campaigns.
PS = Assuming your making high level PC (and not advancing them from scratch), There starting gold would help determine what they could buy or make.
Wealth by level = page 399-400 = 25% on miss magic items.
PC could buy the item at retail cost, 32,400 gp at level 13 = when they get 140,000 starting gold.
PC could make the item at creation cost, 16,200 gp at level 11 = when they get 82,000 starting gold.
