I want to create an item. I have no clue how much it should cost. I am looking for suggestions.
Basically, the item has one ability: It serves as the material component for any animate dead, create undead, or create greater undead spells that the possessor casts.
It would have the restriction that only evil folks could use it, though I don't anticipate any price cuts for such a restriction, merely flavor.
the wondrous items creation table pretty much has nothing on this one. normal wondrous items cost 50 gold x the material cost of the spell they cast (for an unlimited number of castings) but this one isn't actually casting the spell. Create Greater Undead has a material cost of 50 gold per hit die.
My first thought is 50 gold for unlimited casting x 50 gold for the cost of create greater undead x 2 for slotless. That gives a cost of 5000 gold.
Input please!
