[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7604878, member: 23"] Well, I must confess that I wrote that in part to get your attention (success!), and that since I have not read all you posts, I cannot be absolutely certain that this was your wrongest post. Perhaps you claimed that Tiny Servant was a bad spell, for example. We don't know if it's static. It's what the prices are *at the start of the campaign*. If you feel that prices must go up or down, then it is up to you the GM to do changes. Well, Gygax certainly didn't research the weight of the drachma (from the top of my head, aprox 4.5 gram, which is conveniently close to 1/100 pounds). 10 coins to the pound is ridiculous. How interesting. Why is the demand high? Are there so many adventurers all of a sudden? Yet it's a value that seems roughly correct over a period of time. It's a usable value. See above re static It is usually *not* worth it. BUT sometimes it is worth doing a specific economic calculation to get an approximate value of things. And at that point, having a firm yardstick is rather useful. I can't remember... and I'm not even 100% sure if it's something I discovered or "guessed" now that I think about it :/ [/QUOTE]
