help pricing an item
OK, so I'm playing a True Necromancer. There are not a lot of good qualities about the True Necromancer class, so I want to maximize the things that are. My first thought is to improve on the Desecrate aura that he has. I want to make an item that will, mechanically, act as a shrine to an evil god in regard to the Desecrate spell. That will effectively double the effects of my aura while the item is present. I'd like it to be something wearable, like a cloak or belt. I just have no idea where to start with pricing a "mobile shrine."
The effects of the aura are as the spell Desecrate (see below). Essentially, turning checks in the area would suffer another -3 penalty and all undead in my aura would gain an additional +1 profane bonus to hit and +1 hp / HD.
Any thoughts?

First, would you rule that this item would count for doubling the aura? Second, if the answer is no, would it at least be a decent base to start with?

Re: help pricing an item
The Darkskull should work, I would think, but it might not be worth the price for your purposes, since you won't be getting the full benefit of the Unhallow spell. Note that both spells provide profane bonuses, and therefore won't stack.

Re: help pricing an item
I didn't pay attention to the fact that they were both profane bonuses. The item is really expensive for what I'm looking for, as well. I might still pick one up for flavor reasons (or make my own). It just seems spiffy to tote around a skull that resonates EVIL.
