Price list of Nima

Magic items bought, sold and priced

By Appointment to the Commander of Fort Venture, dealer in Magic Items

Price list as revised with effect from 10 Tekrim 2504

NB

1. Nima and Quázil's shop in Fort Venture opened on 22 Kemel 2503 .  The pricelist was revised with effect from 1 Sarm 2503, 16 Oscow 2503, 14 Weven 2503, 12 Sarm 2504, 1 Estender 2504 and 10 Tekrim 2504.  The shop was closed from 8 Kemel 2504 to 12 Sarm 2504 and from 20 Lastra 2504 to 10 Tekrim 2504.
2. On 10 Tekrim 2504, Nima opened for normal business once more in response to “overwhelming customer demand” and “predatory pricing” from Kâko of Dwarf Hold.  Prices have dropped by up to one eighth. Rumours abound that Nima has squeezed his suppliers – suspected to be in the Underworld – and negotiated a reduction in taxes paid to Fort Venture (by threatening to set up shop elsewhere).  It is clear that the partnership with Quázil has changed – Quázil being present only on advertised days and involved only when Nima purchases items.  Prices paid by Nima also seem to be higher.
3. Nima's shop is usually open for business every Wednesday.  Quázil is usually present for identifications and purchases on the first Wednesday of each month.  Notice is posted on the door of any cancellations or changes.  When the shop is closed, orders should be placed at the office of the Commander of Fort Venture.  If orders are placed before nightfall on Saturday, Nima will aim to have the ordered item available for payment and collection the following Wednesday, but this cannot be guaranteed.  For more unusual or specialised items, he will advise an estimated delivery date (which again is not guaranteed).

Mithril-tipped weapons and enchantments to A, P, PD, DAM

Flaming Enchantment

Disemboweling - increase in Base Cost

Weapons are manufactured with mithril in the point and cutting edges. This gives bonuses to damage as stated in the Base Specification. The two figures refer to damage bonus vs. flesh and vs. armour respectively. The mithril will also damage certain creatures that are vulnerable to silver but not steel.

Weapons can be purchased with or without enchantments. Available enchantments include +1 to +4 to one or more of A, P, PD, DAM. Higher enchantments (+5 and +6) are available by negotiation. Melee weapons can also be enchanted to deliver one two or three dice of fire damage. The dice specification and the price for given dice of flame damage are given above. Disemboweling is available on mithril-tipped melee weapons as shown.

Enchanted weapons will damage certain creatures which are not vulnerable to silver or steel.

Pricing example 1: A Stiletto doing +2A and +2DAM (+3DAM vs armour) together with d4 of flame damage costs 33,263GP. This is calculated as follows: 800GP (base cost) + 11,813GP (double plus to A) +3,150GP (single plus to DAM) +17,500GP (for flaming).

Pricing example 2: A Halberd doing +3DAM (+4DAM vs armour) together with +d10 of flame damage in a normal attack, and 2d8 +d10 flame when disemboweling, costs 58,275GP.  This is calculated as follows: 5,250GP (base cost) +525GP (10% for 2d8 disemboweling) + 52,500GP (for flaming).

Pure Mithril Range

Enchantments and disemboweling prices as above. Nima will quote labour-only price if customer supplies the pure mithril.

Pricing example 3: A Taper Axe doing +5A and +5DAM (+6DAM vs armour) together with 3d6 of flame damage costs 469,219GP. This is calculated as follows: 42,656GP (base cost) + 173,250GP (quadruple plus to A) + 43,313GP (double plus to DAM) +210,000GP (for 3 dice of flaming).

Enchanted Armour, Shields and Other Items

Enchantments for pluses to ADS (or interpose in the case of shields)

Mithril and Pure Mithril items (no effect on shattering)

Strengthen Metal (shattering more likely)

Each ADS plus from Strengthen Metal reduces by 6 the minimum damage that will shatter a shield or reduces by 12 the damage needed to shatter the armour.  Nima only offers Strengthen Metal on items that bear an enchantment that Nima has procured. 

Pricing example 4: enchanted steel breastplate of Min ADS:5 and Max ADS:8, with shatter resistance 48, costs 20,250 GP.  This is calculated as follows: no additional charge for the steel, 15,750 GP for +1 ADS enchantment and 4,500 GP for +2 ADS Strengthen Metal.

Pricing example 5: enchanted mithril buckler of ADS:6, with shatter resistance 18, costs 11,876 GP.  This is calculated as follows: 5,513 GP for the mithril buckler giving ADS +1, 5,513 GP for +1 ADS enchantment, and 850 GP for +1 ADS Strengthen Metal.

Pricing example 6: enchanted pure mithril buckler with +3 to interpose, ADS:11, with shatter resistance 30, costs 116,882 GP.  This is calculated as follows: 19,906 GP for the pure mithril buckler giving ADS +2, 45,938 GP for +3 to interpose, 45,938 GP for +3 ADS enchantment, and 5,100 GP for +3 ADS Strengthen Metal.

Pricing example 7: enchanted pure mithril visored helmet of Min ADS:11 Max ADS:14, with shatter resistance 72, costs 223,406 GP.  This is calculated as follows: 42,656 GP for the pure mithril helmet giving ADS +2, 173,250 GP for +4 ADS enchantment, and 7,500 GP for +3 ADS Strengthen Metal.
