Rod of Lesser Metamagic - Extend - 3000gp. Here's the real killer. Even with the 3/5ths modifier, it only costs 5000gp. Again, using the above logic, we have a non-epic feat, with arguably 1 non-epic pre-requisite and a stat pre-req of 14. I'll state right off that I think this price is broken. | Rod of Lesser Metamagic - Extend - 3000gp. Here's the real killer. Even with the 3/5ths modifier, it only costs 5000gp.

My price for the Lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend: base 20,000gp (non-epic), +5,000 (1 non-epic feat for spell level), +4,000 (stat 14 pre-req) = 29,000gp. To account for the 5x per day casting, it should really add another 4 non-epic feats, for a total price of 49,000gp. | My price for the Lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend: base 20,000gp (non-epic), +5,000 (1 non-epic feat for spell level), +4,000 (stat 14 pre-req) = 29,000gp.
