I was wondering, when do actual weapons and armor become epic, at least in regards to price.
From the SRD it seems that a weapon becomes epic when it's weapon enhancement becomes greater then +5 or has a special ability greater then +5. Honestly, I didn't see in any book an enhancement that has a bigger modifier then +5(that being Vorpal for weapons, or Freedom I think, for armor)
My question is thus:
A party member has a plate mail +2 with a +2 special property(forgot the actual name, it's the one that assembles the armor on you in a single round or something, so you don't really have any problems of being caught without your armor, since it transformer like forms on you).
So basically, it's a +4 armor. Now, he wants to buy the Freedom property on it, which is a +5 to price bonus. Do I look at it like a +9 armor, meaning he has to pay the difference from +4 to +9 which is 65 000, or is it considered epic the moment the stack of enhancements passes +5, meaning the price should be multiplied by 10? Or would that be if he got one more enhancement after Freedom, making it a +11 armor where this would come into play?
