It's a necrothread but since I didn't do it, I'll chime in b/c we just bought an 2024 Equinox EV. Good deal between 0% financing, the ev credit, pre-black Friday event and, oddly, a Costco discount. The minivan was turning into a money pit and we wanted to dodge the inevitable price hikes when...

You're not doing the comparison correctly. In a former life I was a cost estimator for construction projects, so I had to deal with this. The "$20US in NoWheresLandia" involves buying completely different goods. Milled grain, not store-bought bread. A 5hp scooter that can't go faster than...

That's why I (original poster) didn't say anything about the specifics of what is acquired and only stayed with the relative descriptions baked into Lifestyles. I actually appreciate the Lifestyle Expense mechanism as it let's you abstract it all away without needing an "Aurora's Whole Realm...

Note that is cubic feet, not linear feet. So 90 cubic feet of rock would be less than 1 ft of progress in a 10'w x 10'h tunnel. Think you meant Transmute Rock to Mud or Stoneshape. You mean like the Mattock of the Titans? Or the Lyre of Building?

Depending on how things go, you should discuss future feats of Leadership and Healer. They aren't as shiny at low levels (though healer's level+4+d6 is never bad) but they really become noticeable at around 8th level. Leadership's 8+Cha temp hit points is akin to a free pre-emptive healing...

Ah yes, the origin of the "Time for another Robin" model used at the Wayne Manor. Rumor is, the lord was a rogue/monk.

I wish "Pub" was "Spy Master" or "Intelligence Network". Then it would have less.....cognitive dissonance.

Not an bad idea to set up a "progression." The pub could start as a Storehouse ("buy wine/ale, sell wine/ale, earn money"), evolve to a Gaming Hall then be (ugh) a "Pub". Although I think they want you to keep the storeroom, add a Gaming Hall, then expand out to a Pub.

Point. I forgot that aspect of "enspelled" items. Guess most of these should be staves or cudgels.

It does change a game. Take it from milquetoast to spicy. Doesn't break it though unless the GM "Just Can't Even" Yeah, much like Dancing Lights. ~30gp/scroll in Xanathar That one did change the casting action. The issue with making a wall is that it only works if people don't know...

Back to utility items Alchemists Apron - heavy leather protective item, usually lots of burn marks - Absorb Elements Hunter's Tassel - a tassel on a foot long ribbon attached to a stick - Animal Friendship Huntsman's horn/Falconer's Gauntlet/Cavalry Bridle - Beast Bond - useful for hunting...

I agree that there should be a non-trivial number of enspelled weapons. They are relatively easy to make and will likely be thematic or purpose built for their source. Like a priest of Pelor would have Sacred Flame/Word of Radiance items, while dwarves who live near Salamanders would search...

That is plausible, if you assume that all gem cutting is less about "sparkly" and more about "purity". If a gem cutter is doing the equivalent of removing non-gem mass (quartz, granite, other impurities) that corrupt the stone and make it less useful for magic (think "negative value" material)...

I like the utility stuff. Things that could be found on a ship, in a caravan, or as part of a noble's traveling supplies. Noble Glue Pot - Mending - sometimes used by thieves who had to damage a door Third Hand Glove - Mage Hand (Lightfingered Glove to a rogue) Rake of Leveling - Mold Earth -...

Gems, historically, were a (mostly) durable item. That's why they were a good proxy for money. They also required sheer luck followed by low-production mining to produce. In d&d, gems are a consumable material. More accurately, they are a form of fuel or ammunition. The primary consumers are...

Alternately....what if color, cut and clarity have nothing to do with the value in d&d? What if it is simple mass relationship? Much like not needing to know the quality of copper, I see no merit in caring about the yardstick that sets value, unless there is a game impact. If gemcutting as...

As a player, changing from gp-measured amounts doesn't make a material improvement. "So I need to have the jeweler not only value the gem, but also give me its rubiosity value. Then I decide if I can burn this gem in my spell or sell it at a discount as "non-magical grade" to buy a higher...

There are other ways gold could work in a settinf Let's say for something needing ruby dust that if it's clear, sparkling ruby dust you could use an ounce or so because it has high "rubiosity." For cloudy ruby dust with low rubiosity you need a pound of thr stuff. Magically, that ratio of...

Depends on your source books. I wouldn't multiclass as it makes life complicated for a new person. Plus there are already multiple chassis you can use Fighter-Eldritch knight is mostly fighter, a smidgen wizard (only 5 spell slots) Paladin is warrior with spells, Auras and smites. Might be...

This all presumes the existing locale has a potion maker, let alone a guild. For Saltmarsh, it's likely a sketchy tiefling of dubious origin. I doubt there'd be much pushback from the village council unless the druid is of an even less acceptable background to those of Keoish culture. While...
