Why is the bag of holding so inexpensive compared to the formula?īecause the bag of holding doesn't really make characters more powerful, but it does make them more convenient to play.Ī character with a bag of holding won't defeat many more challenges than one without. This is why, for example, the Feather Tokens don't have the extremely high costs that come from creating something for nothing. It works much better for an amulet of protection from evil than it does for a minor utility spell. The problem here is that the formula is balanced on existing, challenge-relevant spell effects.
Therefore the price has to be somewhere in the 1,000gp to 2,000gp range. The other way to approach it is fiat: In order to be relevant, the item has to have a cost below a type I bag of holding. Which is still probably too expensive to be practical (why not just get another bag of holding to handle the extra coins?)įor a zeroeth level spell. If either of these mechanics ARE relevant to your campaign, adjust accordingly.īased on that, you'd get a cost more like: 1 * 1 * 2000gp * 2 (bags have no space limitation) = 4,000gp This is because I don't typically play campaigns where encumbrance or money changing are relevant. Placing the limitation of converting coins of one type into another type of precisely equal value is a huge limiting factor.įor my part, I would put "convert currency" at a pretty low spell level (0 - 2).
Both Major Creation and Fabricate are dramatically more powerful than the effect you want in that they can create almost anything. The main difficulty you're having in using the formula is that there is no existing spell that models the effect you want.
