From Conventional to Magical: The Evolution of Heating Systems

By admin

With the onset of winter, staying warm becomes a priority for many. Sweaters, blankets, and heaters are common ways to combat the cold temperatures. However, advancements in technology have now paved the way for an upgraded magical warmth solution. In the enchanting world of magic, where spells and potions exist, wizards and witches have discovered new ways to stay cozy during the winter months. Say goodbye to bulky sweaters and hello to a more refined and efficient method of staying warm. The concept of upgraded magical warmth is simple but revolutionary.

Upgraded magical warmth

The concept of upgraded magical warmth is simple but revolutionary. Instead of relying on external sources of heat, such as fire or electric heaters, individuals can tap into their inner magic to create a personal heat source. By harnessing the power within oneself, one can generate a warm aura that envelops the body, providing continuous and sustainable heat.

Cost to upgrade magical armor.

The rules on the cost involved to upgrade magical armor were in hot debate around my gaming table last night. I have chosen to submitt this question here to prove my point to a player. Here it is:

How much would it cost to get +1 leather armor upgraded with the shadow special ability?

I hope I am not made a fool.

Figure up the cost of the new armor, then subtract the cost of your old armor. That's it.

The cost to "upgrade" magic items is always the same.

Take the cost of the new item, subtract the cost of the old items, and now you have the cost.

"Shadow" is a +1 bonus modifer for cost. Thus a +1 shadow leather armor is:

That's the cost of the new item.

+1 Leather is 1,160 gp.

That's teh cost of the old item.

4,160 - 1,260 = 3,000 gp

That's the cost of the "upgrade."

Amazingly simple, ain't it?

Exactly.

I see things a bit different.

I see it as you are applying in this case the Shadow ability to a +1 set of Armor.

1000 + 1000 + the cost to do it.

The way it is explained above to me would be adding shadow to +2 armor.

It's not a +2 set of armor it's a +1 with a enhancement.

The enhancement has a +1 market value, so the total cost would be the same as a +2 set of armor.

So lets say I have a +10 set of armor and I want shadow on it.
What's the cost?

Sixteen bizillion electrum pieces. Dummy.

Assuming for the moment that you could have +10 armor, and that you could add enchantments to bring the cost equivalent to more than +10, the market price of +10 shadow armor would be the same as that of +11 armor, or 121,000 gp (not counting the price of the masterwork armor in the first place).

Upgrading from the +10 armor (market price 100,000 gp) would therefore cost 21,000 gp.

Landshark's right. You can't go above +10 total, of which +5 is the max enhancement bonus, unless you involve the epic rules. But if you could - which you can't - you'd find the cost for +11 armor, subtract out the cost for the current +10, and that's what you'd pay. Pretty simple.

Did you know that a band called Marcy Playground has a song entitled, "A Cloak of Elvenkind"?

A cloaking robe of elvenkind
hangs in my wardrobe behind
All those things that mother
said were proper for a boy
And I know I could not say why
On this summer evening
Sixteen books on magic spells
stacked below the cloak of elves
And sixteen books on magic spells
so elegantly bound
And I know I could not say why
On this summer evening
And I know something. something about you
And I know something. something about you

A cloaking robe of elvenkind
hangs in my wardrobe behind
All those things that mother said
were proper for a boy

You get a +10 to your hide check for 1,000 boners cheaper!

+1 Leather is 1,160 gp.
