[Kelb_Panthera]

Worth a mention for comparison's sake:
Permanent hallow w/ attached spell, and it also produces 1d4+1 doses of 'greater restoration' potion each month.

Also of note, however, is that that is a "life size" statue. It qualifies for being half the price it otherwise would be because it's difficult to transport ala the rules described in the stronghold builders guidebook. It'd be discounted by 3/4 if it were completely immobile.

Let's reverse engineer that.

5*9*2000 = 90k

5000*50 = 250k

(90+250)/2 = 170k (long duation)

170/2 = 85k for being difficult to move.

Hmm. Still high and we haven't added deathward yet.

Let's try that

4*7*2000*2 = 112,000 for always on death ward.

112,000*.75 = 84,000k because similar abilities.

84k+170k = 254,000.

254000/4 = 63,500 for being immobile. That's pretty close.

There's some ad-hoc in there that I can't quite cypher without a bit more intense scrutiny.

Let's try this:

deathward comes to (4*7*2000)/2 = 28,000 because of the change in deathward's duration.

Now we're at 28*.75 = 21,000 for deathward

21 + 170 = 191,000

191k/4 = 47,750 for immobility. Bingo.

then we add 3/day greater restoration (average).

7*13*1800 = 163,800

500*50*5 = 125,000

125,000+163,800 = 288,800

288,800*3/5 = 173,280

173,280/4 = 43,320.

Damn. Too high again.

..... they priced the restoration as potions?

((7*13*50) + (50*5))*3 = 14,400 for three greater restoration potions. No... not quite.

14,400/2 = 7200 for low mobility.

There it is. 47750 for the statue itself plus 7200 for the difficult to transport potions makes 54,950.

Rounded off to 55k.




........ That got a bit rambly.
