[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 3273175, member: 24969"] I always figured that the sewers that PCs are exploring underneath the city are so large they can be explored, rather than just being a collection of small pipes running everywhere, was for vermin control (which PCs always end up doing). If they were just small pipes as needed for sewage and such, then oozes, slimes, dire rats, and the like could breed inside and there would be next to no way to clean them out. By making them large enough, it allows such infestations to be sought out and destroyed while ony connecting them to houses and the like wiht a section of pipe that can be easily cleaned out but is too small for a thief to sneak through. Although, I actually suppose that most monsters are simply inflated in their danger to give trouble to PCs wihtout reguard as to how normal people would live in such a world. Similar things happen with pricing where basic food stuffs cost more money that most basic people make. [/QUOTE]
