Re: Using The Magic Items Volumes With 4e
Suggested prices are just that. Suggestions. Switch settings and it's reasonable to switch costs. However, it's prime material for the kind of plot where a magic item seller is offering amazingly inexpensive magic items with hidden drawbacks.

Re: Using The Magic Items Volumes With 4e
The item is as unlikely to exist in DF as the pistol that shoots a minigun. Very few fantasy worlds contain specialists in group theory, non-Euclidean geometry, and complex analysis.

Well assuming that they aren't Banestormed into DF, you just say they aren't actually Klein Bottles because that doesn't matter to the magic item (You of course will have to call it something else). Unless of course the development of magic doesn't lead to the discovery of Klein Bottles much earlier on and/or DF is actually set in some sort of post-apocalyptic world (Which would explain all the abandoned dungeons filled with treasure) |

Re: Using The Magic Items Volumes With 4e
I don't even know what book it's in. I was just going by what was said about it here. But from what I just read it seems to be a potentially dangerous magic item whose useful traits are mostly frivolous. As a magic goods store operator I wouldn't offer more than a few hundred for it an not that much. It sounds like it has real potential to generate dis-satisfied customers.

MI3: 96. 'Potential danger' is limited: the result specifies GM's choice, which is always true no matter the method anyway, and that when sober you are in a 'mildly inconvenient' location. Price listed is because it's entirely random, impermanent, and only works on the drinker. It also notes that it would be much more expensive otherwise.

Re: Using The Magic Items Volumes With 4e
More like one free beer per ten hours per person. After that, you're looking at consequences.

Re: Using The Magic Items Volumes With 4e
Yes. It is at least as undesirable as the calculation of (Value of beer- lost night in other dimension - taxi fare home) would make it. That makes it less desirable than a night's worth of regular beer and that isn't that much on a scale of magic items.
