Ok so, I'm statting up an NPC to go with the party, and that made me go over the wonderful task of eternal wands/continuous items. Which made me re-think something.
I have a friend who is in the game with us. He has an Artificer with a Dedicated Wright (We haven't started yet mind you, so it's all still up in the air.) He wanted more or less Anklets of Translocation, except he wants to be able to use them an unlimited number of times per day.
This is where the math gets rather confusing, at least for me personally. Standard Ankelts of Translocation Cost 1400 GP, that number makes no sense to me. Or I'm missing a big step (Which I probably am.) In the item creation process. That big step might help me to alleviate other issues I'm having.
Standard math on that would be. Spell Level (4th) * Caster Level (7th) * 2000 GP (Swift Activation) = 56,000 * 0.4 (Two charges a day) =22,400
I realize it's no where even close to what the Standard spell of Dimension Door does, which is where I'm having issues finding a solution. As I can't find what it being taken away to get the low cost. (That being a limitation on a spell. ) If someone could point me to this that'd be superb as I can't seem to find it anywhere. Which means making an item like Anklets of Translocation is impossible, at least for the price they list them at.
The aforementioned player (after calculating his 3 feats fromt he Eberron book.) said that Anklets of Translocation (An equivalent item) that was use at will (Unlimited times per day) was only 10K this price seemed exceptionally....wrong to me. He then cited a discussion on GITP which said that making very limited uses of the spell could reduce cost but I can't personally find anything on that anywhere.
So help would be appreciated. Thanks.
