Because even the ballista on the galleon can't harm the gargoyle unless it is +1.It's not that it's hard to slay (it is hard but that's not the point). It's that the benefit of slaying it is not greater than the simplicity of ignoring something 99% of players (PLAYERS, not DMs) will never notice/care about. Making rules for how to simulate an economy could take up hundreds of pages. And if you don't believe me about hundreds of pages consider that economy is affected by climate, geography and politics. You can fix those features on Earth for a given locale in a given time frame. In a set of rules used by world building DMs, all those variables are things the rules need to cover. Economy is not a can of worms. It's a crate of worms.</blockquote>
