Yet another crafting question regarding discounts
Sorry if this was asked before, searched a bit but couldn't find anything specific. So,
need some help calculating the cost of crafting an item which has price of 1500 gp. Item creation feat lowers the price by 50%, and I have another 10% discount via craftsman. I want to make that item race specific and that should decrease the cost by another 30%. What is the final cost of making an item and why?
Thanks in advance for any info.
p.s.
For D&D 3.5 Edition rules.Last edited by Zergh; 2018-09-18 at 03:21 AM.

Re: Yet another crafting question regarding discounts
1500/2=750
40% of 750 is 300
750-300=450
you can reduce that further in quite a number of ways, look at this giant handbook for that kind of info

Re: Yet another crafting question regarding discounts
Thanks a lot for speedy reply. Let me try to see if I got it right on another item. I also want +5 bonus on skill check. Per rules, it is square of skill bonus * 100, that means item is worth 2500 gp.
That would mean
2500/2 = 1250
40% of 1250 = 500
1250 – 500 = 750 gp.
Noticed Extraordinary Artisan, with it's 25% reduction.
So, as a scroll of 3rd lvl (375 gp) as an example:
375/2 = 187,5
10% (Craftsman) + 25% (Ex.A. feat) = 35% of 187,5 = 65,6
187,5-65,6 = 122 gp per scroll?
Or, as a previous example with item of 1500 gp.
1500/2 = 750
10% (Craftsman) + 25% (Ex. Art. feat) + 30% (Race specific) = 65% of 750 = 487,5
Final price 750-487,5 = 262,5
Is this right?Last edited by Zergh; 2018-09-18 at 04:27 AM.

Re: Yet another crafting question regarding discounts
yup, but i'd clarify it w/ your DM regardless, they may have other ideas as to how crafting works in their world, and whether or not any of those discounts apply

Re: Yet another crafting question regarding discounts
So, with race specific item (30%) discount, Extraordinary Artisan (25%) and Craftsman (10%) total discount would be 30 % * 1.25 * 1.1 = 41.25 %?
For mentioned item
1500/2 = 750 gp
30% (Race specific) + 25% (Ex. Art. feat) + 10% (Craftsman) = 41,25% of 750 = 309,4
750- 309,4 = 440,6 gp
For 3rd level scroll:
375/2=187,5
25% (Ex. Art. feat) + 10% (Craftsman) = 27,5% of 187,5 = 51,56
187,5 - 51,5 = 136 gp per scroll

The rule is that real-world things that actually exist in the game world like distance, time, and the like use normal math, and abstract values like damage and such use special rules:
