People in my game want Always On items that have utility or defensive magic. I'd prefer that to items that can blanket an entire party with multiple iterations of that spell. And I just wanted to come up what seems like a fair cost. These are cheaper than what they can canonically get but are also one person only. That's a compromise. And without having the Power enchantment available for purchase <i>at all</i>, all we need is a fair price. It only needs to measure up to the money charged, the pre-ruling items.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-1118336645094906262016-03-07T19:42:28.477-05:002016-03-07T19:42:28.477-05:00Math nitpickery:

If X>Y, (X+Y)/2<X.<br /><br />This means that always on version expensive items with low power requirements come at a discount in this system. <br /><br />I freely admit that I have no idea if there are any such items.<br /><br />I'm also not 100% sure that "Always on" is actually better than "can cast on other folks by spending energy" - but I do lean that way.<br /><br />X+(Y/2) or X+(Y/3) might be better if these are valid concerns.martinlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046036634336503492noreply@blogger.com
