[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 7865031, member: 42856"] That would be good, even if I am pretty sure it's a lot of work to come up with coherent pricing indications just to satisfy a afew detail-obsessed players in this exciting setting. I'd like to keep consistency, but I am happy to make some changes where I can't reconcile the data (for example, Sharn can't be 10 times less populated than mid-19th century London so I discard canon). Even if we conclude the PHB data to be inconsistent with the Eberron setting, the informations coming from the Eberron Campaign Guide (p. 62, Hiring Help) indicates that : Strikingly, unskilled labor is even less paid in Sharn than in the PHB. Meanwhile, the Eberron Campaign Setting listed daily hired help from a least dragonmarked employee at 12 gp a day. That's a 120-fold difference in revenue... even if the house itself captures most of this income, the pricing supports extreme wealth unequalities. With regard to healing, House Jorasco is selling (at a discount) casting of a 1st level healing spell at 8 gp. They also offer hospital service at 7 sp a day, covering mundane use of the heal skill. (ECS, page 121 and 124). If everyone was able to afford the spell when injured, mundane service would have mostly gotten out of business, but as stated by the guide "[I]few can regularly afford that expensive service[/I]". Same with mending, with the guide saying that recruiting a magewright to mend an item is usually more expensive than outright replacing the item... Disclaimer: I haven't (yet) read the 5th edition's book so most of my information may be off. [/QUOTE]
