Talk:Helm of Favorable Alignment (3.5e Equipment)

Cost

I think this is pretty strongly underpriced. It's not just withholding your actual alignment from divinations, it's actively passing out super beneficial false information to anything that bothers to query your alignment, divination or not. It's an amazing effect that carries effective immunity to a bunch of annoying spells, and it's a steal at 4k. I think it should probably cost substantially more or have a chance of failure, like caster check vs your level + 12 to pierce. - TarkisFlux 23:43, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

You may be right, but a Ring of Mind Shielding is only 8k (with no chance of failure).--Tavis McCricket 23:51, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

A ring of mind shielding doesn't make you immune to holy word though, not unless you want to argue that casting holy word on someone is "an attempt to determine their alignment". I don't care if this returns false results for divination spells, and doing so would leave it reasonably priced even IMO, it's the non-divinations that I'm concerned about. - TarkisFlux 23:58, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Updated the price, that work? --Ghostwheel 08:11, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Crap, that's what I get for reading the talk page more carefully than the main article. No Tarkis, not trying to argue anything like that, I'm just an ass.--Tavis McCricket 08:11, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think that's more reasonable, yes. - TarkisFlux 16:49, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
