Brainstorming Magical Crafting System (Part 9)

Created: 28 April 2016 Modified:

After discussion with my gaming group it does seem that we need to add a base cost for crafting a magical item. I would like to use this to fit within the rational of magical crafting. My thought is that each magic item would need platinum as a requirement to maintain a stable magical matrix. The more powerful the crafting the greater amount of platinum that is needed to stabilize the magical matrix.

The following chart shows the proposed base costs of crafting a magical item.

</table> With this base cost we now need to modify the essence storage cost. This brings us back to allowing multiple gems with essence during a crafting and an essence storage cost of 10gp.

Rarity of Item	Armor/Weapons	Wondrous Items	Potions	Scrolls
Common	15gp	10gp	5gp	1gp
Uncommon	30gp	20gp	10gp	5gp
Rare	150gp	100gp	50gp	25gp
Very Rare	1500gp	1000gp	500gp	250gp
Legendary	15000gp	10000gp	5000gp	2500gp
