At a Glance
This is a suggested expansion of pearls of power.
Table A: Pearls
Officially, there are ten varieties: one each for spell levels 1-9 and one for two spells of up to 6th level. Of course, that last one presents several options, but for some reason they’re collapsed into one by being given one GP value (70,000 gp) for all pearls restoring two spells. This is ludicrous, but that’s the official version.
So I’m changing a couple of things. First, I’m expanding the two-spell pearls to provide GP values for all logical spell level combinations. I’m also adding a third type of pearl, which restores three spells of levels 1-3.
| 01-74 | One spell, level 1-9 |
| 75-92 | Two spells, levels 1-6 |
| 93-00 | Three spells, levels 1-3 |
Table B: One-Spell Pearls
These are pretty straightforward, so no surprises here.
| 01-37 | One first-level spell | 1,000 |
| 38-55 | One second-level spell | 4,000 |
| 56-66 | One third-level spell | 9,000 |
| 67-75 | One fourth-level spell | 16,000 |
| 76-82 | One fifth-level spell | 25,000 |
| 83-88 | One sixth-level spell | 36,000 |
| 89-93 | One seventh-level spell | 49,000 |
| 94-97 | One eighth-level spell | 64,000 |
| 98-00 | One ninth-level spell | 81,000 |
Table C: Two-Spell Pearls
This group is merely an expansion of the two-spell pearl listed in the DMG… with the addition of GP values. As you can see, only a few of them are anywhere near the 70,000 gp price in the DMG; most of them are far less than that.
| 01-14 | Two first-level spells | 2,500 |
| 15-23 | One second-level spell and one first-level spell | 5,500 |
| 24-30 | Two second-level spells | 10,000 |
| 31-37 | One third-level spell and one first-level spell | 10,500 |
| 38-43 | One third-level spell and one second-level spell | 15,000 |
| 44-48 | One fourth-level spell and one first-level spell | 17,500 |
| 49-53 | One fourth-level spell and one second-level spell | 22,000 |
| 54-58 | Two third-level spells | 22,500 |
| 59-62 | One fifth-level spell and one first-level spell | 26,500 |
| 63-66 | One fourth-level spell and one third-level spell | 29,500 |
| 67-70 | One fifth-level spell and one second-level spell | 31,000 |
| 71-74 | One sixth-level spell and one first-level spell | 37,500 |
| 75-77 | One fifth-level spell and one third-level spell | 38,500 |
| 78-81 | Two fourth-level spells | 40,000 |
| 82-84 | One sixth-level spell and one second-level spell | 42,000 |
| 85-87 | One fifth-level spell and one fourth-level spell | 49,000 |
| 88-90 | One sixth-level spell and one third-level spell | 49,500 |
| 91-93 | One sixth-level spell and one fourth-level spell | 60,000 |
| 94-96 | Two fifth-level spells | 62,500 |
| 97-98 | One sixth-level spell and one fifth-level spell | 73,500 |
| 99-00 | Two sixth-level spells | 90,000 |
Table D: Three-Spell Pearls
This group of pearls is new. I’m adding it here as a recommendation. It seems logical given the other two groups.
| 01-19 | Three first-level spells | 4,000 |
| 20-32 | One second-level spell and two first-level spells | 7,000 |
| 33-43 | Two second-level spells and one first-level spell | 11,500 |
| 44-54 | One third-level spell and two first-level spells | 12,000 |
| 55-63 | Three second-level spells | 16,000 |
| 64-72 | One third-level spell, one second-level spell, and one first-level spell | 16,500 |
| 73-80 | One third-level spell and two second-level spells | 21,000 |
| 81-88 | Two third-level spells and one first-level spell | 24,000 |
| 89-94 | Two third-level spells and one second-level spell | 28,500 |
| 95-00 | Three third-level spells | 36,000 |
