[QUOTE="Advilaar, post: 7532971, member: 6698911"] There might be consumables like potions (unless we are talking about potions in enchanted vials of spell storing that confer effects as well) and scrolls in the 300 gp range, but when you start talking magic weapons and armor, needs to be at least 1000. And, that's used because it does not cover the material of the weapon or armor nor the labor and expertise. Of course, feel free to add economics. If you are in a mining town, whatever metal might be cheaper. If you are in a city, you'll have much better choice, but the price of import would drive things up. War going on with the Were Llama Nation might drive silver and all weapons in general 2 to 3 times price (but hide armor and llama skin cloaks might be super cheap!) Obsidian swords... Have not heard of those since Dark Sun. On Athas, there was almost no metal but all the cool kids had obsidian weapons which were just as good. I would think since obsidian is a volcanic glass, it could only be gotten in volcanic areas by someone with a proper proficiency to know how to get it out in nice enough chunks, then some good stone carver who also knew weaponsmithing. Sounds like a lot of skilled hands would have to pass over one just to get a non magical version. Hmm.. ideas. Thanks. See, some of my party's henchmen and followers are heading to the 2nd layer of Ysgaard. It's a type of heaven where everyone true resurrects every 24 hours supposedly to fight endless glorious battles for Valhalla. Problem is the second layer is mostly lava pits and volcanic. People "die" in those lava pools just to be resurrected over and over and over for all eternity unless you are immune to fire. Heaven's great, isn't it? Well, the fire giant gods all live here and love it. This just does not sit right with our high level cleric who happens to be an exarch of a powerful gem dragon goddess. Not only has he listened to one of the henchmen's story of a grandmother and grandfather trapped in one of these lakes, he will answer the prayer on behalf of his goddess. He wants to go there and stomp some Ysgaardian giants (perhaps reigniting an ancient war between giants and dragons), free some souls, and bathe the unholies in the light.
