"The Curse of Turandot" is a phrase that refers to a rumored curse associated with the opera of the same name, composed by Giacomo Puccini. This opera, set in ancient China, tells the story of Princess Turandot, who refuses to marry any man unless he can answer three riddles correctly. Many believe that the curse emerged due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Puccini's death before completing the final act of the opera. According to the legend, Puccini's son attempted to finish the opera after his father's death but felt overwhelmed by its complexity and decided to leave it unfinished. The curse is said to bring bad luck to anyone who attempts to complete or perform the unfinished final act of Turandot. Over the years, there have been many instances where productions of Turandot faced difficulties or misfortunes, further fueling the belief in the curse.

Cost to upgrade magical armor.
The rules on the cost involved to upgrade magical armor were in hot debate around my gaming table last night. I have chosen to submitt this question here to prove my point to a player. Here it is:
How much would it cost to get +1 leather armor upgraded with the shadow special ability?
I hope I am not made a fool.

The cost to "upgrade" magic items is always the same.
Take the cost of the new item, subtract the cost of the old items, and now you have the cost.
"Shadow" is a +1 bonus modifer for cost. Thus a +1 shadow leather armor is:
That's the cost of the new item.
+1 Leather is 1,160 gp.
That's teh cost of the old item.
4,160 - 1,260 = 3,000 gp
That's the cost of the "upgrade."
Amazingly simple, ain't it?

I see things a bit different.
I see it as you are applying in this case the Shadow ability to a +1 set of Armor.
1000 + 1000 + the cost to do it.
The way it is explained above to me would be adding shadow to +2 armor.
It's not a +2 set of armor it's a +1 with a enhancement.

The enhancement has a +1 market value, so the total cost would be the same as a +2 set of armor.

Assuming for the moment that you could have +10 armor, and that you could add enchantments to bring the cost equivalent to more than +10, the market price of +10 shadow armor would be the same as that of +11 armor, or 121,000 gp (not counting the price of the masterwork armor in the first place).
Upgrading from the +10 armor (market price 100,000 gp) would therefore cost 21,000 gp.

Landshark's right. You can't go above +10 total, of which +5 is the max enhancement bonus, unless you involve the epic rules. But if you could - which you can't - you'd find the cost for +11 armor, subtract out the cost for the current +10, and that's what you'd pay. Pretty simple.

Did you know that a band called Marcy Playground has a song entitled, "A Cloak of Elvenkind"?
A cloaking robe of elvenkind
hangs in my wardrobe behind
All those things that mother
said were proper for a boy
And I know I could not say why
On this summer evening
Sixteen books on magic spells
stacked below the cloak of elves
And sixteen books on magic spells
so elegantly bound
And I know I could not say why
On this summer evening
And I know something. something about you
And I know something. something about you
A cloaking robe of elvenkind
hangs in my wardrobe behind
All those things that mother said
were proper for a boy
You get a +10 to your hide check for 1,000 boners cheaper!
+1 Leather is 1,160 gp.

Reviews for "Breaking the Curse: Unlocking Free Ways to Watch Turandot"
1. John Smith - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with "The curse of turandot watch free". The movie lacked any sort of coherent plot and was filled with unnecessary gore and violence, which did nothing to enhance the viewing experience. The acting was wooden and unconvincing, with the actors delivering their lines without any real emotion. It felt like the filmmakers were more interested in shock value than in creating a compelling story. Overall, I would not recommend wasting your time on this film.
2. Emily Johnson - 2 stars
"The curse of turandot watch free" had potential, but it fell short in many areas. While the cinematography was visually appealing, the pacing of the movie was slow and dragged on for what felt like forever. The plot was confusing and convoluted, with many unanswered questions and loose ends. Additionally, the characters were underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect or care about their fates. The overall execution of the film was lacking, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled after watching it.
3. Samantha Stevens - 1 star
I found "The curse of turandot watch free" to be an absolute waste of time. The acting was atrocious, with the dialogue feeling forced and unnatural. The special effects were laughable and seemed almost amateurish. It was clear that this movie was made on a low budget, but that's not an excuse for the lack of effort put into making it even remotely enjoyable. The story was incredibly predictable, and the twist at the end was so poorly executed that it did nothing to redeem the film. My advice: save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
4. Michael Thompson - 2 stars
"The curse of turandot watch free" had its moments, but overall, it failed to deliver on its promises. While there were some visually stunning scenes and intriguing concepts, the film lacked cohesion and failed to fully explore its potential. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. The character development was weak, leaving the audience with little connection to the protagonists. Additionally, the ending felt forced and unsatisfying, leaving me with more questions than answers. Overall, it was a missed opportunity for an engaging and thrilling movie.
