Damn, I like that! And it's realistic too. Basically, you are saying you can get more for the item, if you are willing to wait for your price. Nice! I can live with that. How do you adjust for various size cities? Also, in your example, why would the buyer pay 85% when you were only...

Yeah, yeah, that's all fine and dandy and I get all that....but since we are talking potentially losing thousands here in a transaction, not a few coppers, I must ask again: Show me the page number in the rulebooks that put magic items closer to the equipment 1/2 price category and not the...

Man, tell this to our group's Wizard who took around 3 craft item feats just so he can sell them at a profite. Sounds to me like you want to him to front the material costs, take the time, lose XPs, and STILL only break even. Yeah, ok, THAT'S real economics for ya. ;)

Thanks Spatzimaus. I agree with pretty much all of your points. In fact, I am sure that are group would be happy with your 80%/120% range. Thats is much better than half price.....but then you DO take a hit when you buy stuff at 120%, so I guess it all balances back down to close to 50%...

Thanks for all the responses guys. Can you give me an exact page number for this? Thanks. BTW, Spatzimaus, I like your formula. We were trying to convince to our DM to do something like: 60% plus the results of a Diplomacy roll to determine the price we got for each magic item. Simple...

Hi everyone, Our party just entered Waterdeep with a whole bunch of magic loot to unload and we naturally want to sell everything as close to full market price as possible. But our DM says we can only sell magic items for half price. Now barring any regional, or seasonal, or situational...

Alright, its the weekend and I finally have some time to ask more questions, if you be so willing. I still can't believe that we have THE Gygax "on tap" here so to speak. :cool: Without further ado: 1) One of the things I love about D&D is the brilliant cosmology of planes. How did you...

EDIT: I just went back and reread your message Gary and was reminded that you suggested we continue this conversation elsewhere. Sorry I forgot. Disregard if you like. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Gary, thanks for all the responses. I have been busy so I couldn't get back to you right...

I vote for the guy from the old boards with the creepy lifelike pulsating tentacle thing..."Makula" I believe. That thing looked cool. :eek: (And now that I know people actually READ these sigs, I'll have to come up with something better for mine... ;) )

Ok, so 3-20 would be, say, 2d6 + 1d8 ? And 4-20 would be 2d6 + 2d4 ? That kind of thing?

Thanks for the example. Sounds faster than 3E alright! But I happen to LIKE discussing rules and have been called a rules lawyer more than once, so I hope you don't mind being dragged into an in-depth analysis here. :eek: I know, I know, sorry. Anyway, being as I am, several questions...

I have been playing around with the idea of aligned magic items too. It makes sense too since during the creation process life essence (XPs) are transferred into them. For example, if a Lawful Evil person put his XPs into an item, it follows that it should forevermore be tainted Lawful Evil...

Hi Gary, me again. Glad to see your still around. :) If you have the time, can you describe a typical encounter between an average fighter-type and average monster-type in your LA game? I am looking to see what the rolls made are from beginning to end and also try and get a general feel for...

See, now THAT's Cool....and maybe even worth the ECL+1 hit. I like! Well maybe your DM, knowing your frustration, can set up more situations where the abilities you gain from the ECL+1 would shine more. I like that solution because he woulnd't have to give you anything extra to make up for...

Well, despite the fact that I can easily see why the designers did it, I honestly think NONE of the ECL+x races are worth losing levels to, especially when they get to the mid and higher experience levels. Way too costly then. Which is exactly why I was explaining to Xarlen that the reason for...

Holy cats, Cro. Tell me you are joking! I think those bonuses sound awesome. Seriously. Far better than some ohter ECL+1 races.

Ok, kobolds were a bad example. I just threw them out there because they are...ah...uh...tiny. Yeah, that's it. But I trust you got my meaning anyway. ;)

I love how Mr. Wizard gets to pick up and reuse his spells after the battle. (Oh, and it anyone else annoyed by the lady clapping at the end? I mean, is she clapping in character, or OUT? I wish I knew! )

Ok, I am not an expert on genasi by any means, but here are my 2 coppers. Of COURSE they are not all 100% balanced with each other. They can never be. There are too many differences and factors to consider. Same goes for all the races. And there is no way a system such as "ECL +x" is ever...

Aw man, I need good laughs like that from time to time. Someone please tell me were I can get more online LARP MPEGs. (And to think for a time there I was thinking of joining a LARP. Heck, just for laughs, I still might now!)
