Re: vow of poverty gold value
For AC use Bracers of Armor. For the +4 that is 16,000 gp, +5 25,000 gp, +6 36,000 gp and for the +7 that is 49,000 gp. (Formula for price: 1000X^2, where X is the bonus)
Under Level 11, your forgetting a 0 in the 16,000 for the +4.Last edited by Gralamin; 2008-05-25 at 09:41 PM.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
A 50gp Chain Shirt replicates +4 AC
600gp for Half Plate replicates +7 AC
Since you can't wear armor with VoP, I assume that AC bonus is meant to replace the AC you'd be getting from wearing armor.
Of course, if you're using an Unarmed Swordsage or Druid, which don't require armor, and are thus generally better candidates for VoP, the AC could be compared to Bracers of Armor.
+4 is 16,000
+7 is 49,000
So it depends if you're using VoP on an armor-wearing class or non-armor-wearing class.5e D&D Mythos Classes

Re: vow of poverty gold value
Mind Shielding can be gotten with a Third Eye Conceal (its in the psionics item section of the SRD), but it will cost you over a hundred K.

Why not just a Ring of Mind Shielding - 8,000.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
I would argue to use the cost of Bracers of Armor anyway, as its halfway in between armor and Bracers of Armor: It does not apply to incorporeal touch attacks or touch attacks, but does apply against Brilliant Energy. It also doesn't have a maximum Dex bonus, Armor Check penalty or Arcane spell failure that is associated with armor.
Best to use this, as its exactly what the corresponding ability does.Last edited by Gralamin; 2008-05-25 at 09:47 PM.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
That's pretty neat. me and my friend earlier were having a discussion about Warforged's and how through the use of a feat at our level 2 game, they were getting bonuses that would normally cost 16,600.
@Xefas: I think OP is calculating it as if it were the magical items, not armor. Much like using a monk and taking VoP.The Necroswanson's Deviantart.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
As has been stated, the AC bonus is an armor bonus, and is equivalent to bracers of armor (in that it doesn't count as wearing armor, or restrict dexterity or mobility in any way.)

Re: vow of poverty gold value
I wish I knew of guidelines for costs to add a feat to a peice of equipment.
The real sticker is that not all feats are worth the same amount. Nimbus of Light, for instance, is worth about 25 GP, that being the cost of a casting of Continual Flame. On the other hand, it's a prerequisite for a few other exalted feats which aren't quite so worthless. And any character will relatively quickly run out of exalted feats useful for that particular character.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
I'd say 5,000 for a feat sounds reasonable as an approximation.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
My pricing suggestions:
SpoilerI'd price Sustenance by the Everlasting Rations in the Magic Item Compendium - the Vow's benefit is only for food and water, not reduced rest. Price: 350 gp
Exalted Strike (good) is the difference between a lesser and a least Fiendslaying Crystal, which is 2000 gp.
DR 5/magic = +1 armor of invulnerability = 16000 gp.
Greater Sustenance is actually a little inferior to the Necklace of Adaptation, 9000 gp.
Energy Resistance 5 = 2.5 Rings of Minor Energy Resistance = 30000
Freedom of Movement = Ring of Freedom of Movement = 40000
DR 5/evil = Mantle of Faith = 76000
Regeneration = Ring of Regeneration = 90000
True Seeing = Hathran Mask of True Seeing (from Unapproachable East) = 75000
DR 10/evil = ?
Energy Resistance 15 = 5x Ring of Minor/Moderate Energy Resistance = 100000
If you add it all up, it does come up to a reasonably impressive total. However, quite a bit of it is dependent on the AC bonus being equated to bracers of armor rather than the vastly cheaper (and usually just as good) magical armor. Also, the Ring of Regeneration is one of the most overpriced items ever published in my opinion, the energy resistance also isn't really worth that much, DR/magic is virtually meaningless, the Mantle of Faith also costs more than I think it's worth, and Mind Shielding is little more than flavor in most circumstances.Last edited by Douglas; 2008-05-25 at 11:20 PM.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
"Exalted Feat" is a very limited concept (and let's face it, most of them are fairly crappy never-do-anythings), so as normal games don't allow Chaos Shuffle (or any games, really), they should be somewhat cheaper than normal feats, or even Fighter-feats. You could probably use Heroics (the 2nd level spell that grants you a Fighter-feat of your choice; it isn't a predetermined feat you get so the price should be about same as that of an Exalted Feat, mayhap a bit higher - use your judgment) made into a permanent Magic item as a guideline.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
Depends a lot on the feat. Nymph's Kiss is pretty much a +20 skill item at level 20. The +1 damage v. evil, +1d4 v. evil outsiders feats is probably appx. equal to .5 of a bane enhancement.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
The value must be set for an average feat, not for the best nor for the worst of them. Really, to accurately price one Exalted Feat, first of all, the first should be the most expensive and they should get subsequently cheaper as you're forced to take worse and worse feats. Since that's not really doable as the price has to be set for an open feat slot (that is, for the possibility), which could become anything, so the price has to represent the price of an average Exalted feat, which is probably about the same as an average Fighter-feat.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
Not breathing: Necklace of Adaptation would be the closest... although that also makes you immune to vapors and gases, which the exalted bit doesn't. Call it 4,500 gp?
Higher +'s: I'd be more inclined to price it out as an enchanted chain shirt - 100 gp base, becoming 1,250 when it hits +5, 4,250 at +6, 9,250 at +7, 16,250 at +8, 25,250 at +9. For higher +'s than that, change the base armor type, and add Mithral. So at +10, price it as +5 Mithral Breastplate (29,200 gp) - there's no real exact match, but that's probably good enough.
Damage Reduction: Check out Adamantine armor add-on. Gives you DR 1/-, 2/-, or 3/- for 5,000, 10,000, or 15,000, respectively.
Energy Resistance: A ring of Minor Energy Resistance (10, for a specific element) costs 12,000 gp. Making that 5 vs. all would probably cost a similar amount (although the rings of energy resistance don't follow the standard scaling A*B^2 scaling).
Exalted Feats: Their mechanical effect varies, a lot. You're on your own, there.Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
It's only +23 to a skill that you have zero ranks in. That's a lot weaker than +23 to any skill.

You know what's the funny thing?
The +8 stat boost numbers in the millions when bought from an item, but it doesn't save most classes from being completely worthless under VoP.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
No, more correctly, it's one more skill with 23 ranks in. Or, 2 more skills with +11/+12 ranks, etc. That's actually better than an item of +skill, because it gives you at least one more trained skill.
Nymph's Kiss is like getting the human bonus to skill points, (again if you're already human), in addition to a +1 stacking bonus to all saves.
"Useless" is a great exaggeration, (unless you're one of those very bad rules lawyers who thinks you can't carry a holy symbol or spellbook as a wizard or cleric with VoP). However, yes, for many classes it's a very bad idea, overall.Last edited by Talya; 2008-05-26 at 06:44 AM.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
A key problem, perhaps the key problem, with VoP is the loss of flexibility. What makes the wizard so strong? A massive selections of solutions to any problem he might face. Same goes here. The lack of ability to select what you want hugely hampers you.
VoP isn't that weak, it's just inflexible to the extreme. If you meet a challenge, ie. a flying monster with ranged attacks, you are somewhat screwed. Sure you can use a sling but the monster can just fly away if it gets seriously wounded.
Therefore VoP is more valuable to some classes than other ones, the same way a corresponding set of magic items would be more valuable to one class than another.
That being said, it's not a bad choice for druids.

Re: vow of poverty gold value
Nymph's Kiss gives you only 1 skill point per level, with no x4@1st, which is three less than a human's bonus, IIRC. So 20 points by 20th level. [/nitpick]
