WARNING!
KO, Stephanie, Gruber, Zainen, Grace, and Zajas ... Look no further!
Several points, listed in no particular order.
Staves
I've searched the core rulebook, and can't find any idea on how much a staff costs. To be clear, I'm the DM, and I want to introduce a staff that's not like any of the other ones in the book. My players are still low level, but the staff will have mostly low level utility spells in it.
Anyone know where to find that math?
Broken
If I'm giving a broken item to one of my players, how much should the item's value be reduced? The item can never be repaired. For reference, it will be a greatsword with some kind of sundering bonus on it. (price for combat maneuver bonuses would be handy too.)
Metamagic effects
A bow that fires elemental (MM+1) acid arrows, 4/day, once each for each of the primary elements. (so one acid, one fire, one cold, one shock). I have the chart for spell effects x/day, would I count this one as spell level 2 (acid arrow) or 3 (acid arrow with elemental metamagic)? My first impulse is to go with 3, but since it specifies once for each different element, i'm not sure it's as versatile as the elemental boost would imply.
Pet-only items
Would a belt of giant strength cost a different amount if usable only by animal companions and familiars?
