Magic Item Creation

[vorpalwarrior]

Pathfinder 1st Edition

My dwarven monk wants to invest some substantial gold in a homemade pair of "Gauntlets of Strong Jaw," leather and scaly gauntlets that continuously grant the wearer the effects of the spell Strong Jaw. I would apreciate a check on my understanding of the rules regarding magic item creation.

Strong Jaw has a duration of 1 minute/level and is a 4th-level druid spell, castable by a 7th-level druid. For an item with a spell effect that is continuous, the base price is [spell level x caster level x 2,000 gp]. If a continuous item has an effect based on a spell with a duration of 1 minute/level, multiply the cost by 2. Therefore, Gauntlets of Strong Jaw would cost [4 x 7 x 2,000 gp x 2 = 112,000 gp].

If two of my dwarven monk's compatriots, an elven evoker with Craft Wondrous Item and a gnome druid who can cast Strong Jaw, work together, they can create this wondrous item for half its cost or [56,000 gp]. The elven evoker has the Hedge Magician trait to reduce the required gp cost of a crafted magic item by 5%. Therefore, the final cost would be [0.95 x 56,000 gp = 53,200 gp].

My dwarven monk is looking forward to the extra damage.

Yup, that looks correct, with the caveat that it is a custom item which is always subject to GM approval.

If you can convince your GM to go for it, you can also reduce the price by making the item monk only for another 30% off.

+1 to "sounds right, ask permission".

The closest existing item I can think of would be a +1 impact amulet of mighty fists, handwaving for the fact that impact normally cannot be applied to natural weapons. That only increases the damage by one size category, includes a +1 enhancement bonus, and would cost 18,000 gp before the hedge magician reduction. It isn't unreasonable to require a higher cost for the second size category increase.

Impact is a +2 bonus for one size increase.
Growing is a +1 bonus for 1/day (10 minutes) one size bonus.
Strong Jaw is 4th level druid for 1 minute/level and two sizes bigger.

I would double the +X bonus to get double the effect. So +4 for continuous, or +2 for 1/day.
