Talk:Etheliometer (3.5e Equipment)

A note on cost

Is it intentional that this item is flat-out unavailable to 1st level characters on reasonable budgets, and won't be available by growth until 2nd level? Seems a bit strange. - MisterSinister 00:42, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure actually. It's almost an at-will cantrip with some reasonably annoying timing increases, but those don't really matter because it's not a combat thing in the first place. And while I'm fine with handing out at-will detect magic as a class feature where appropriate, I don't know that I want it as a level 1 purchasable equipment item. I do want magic users to be better able to detect magic at the start of the game, I just don't want them to stay that way long. I'm open to suggestions on the cost though. - Tarkisflux ^Talk 02:25, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I would knock it down to 50gp. It's still a fairly significant purchase at level 1, but it's affordable if you really want this sort of thing. - 120.136.4.82 05:26, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
