D&D 5E (2014) 5E economics -The Peasants are revolting!

Just go live in Hommlet ... a typical house entry there:

This all sounds reasonable. Although unskilled 2sp per day is harsh.

By my rough conversion guidelines, that is about 20 dollar per day.

I hope those unskilled people are learning as apprentices mostly, mainly funded by their parents and become skilled after doing their job for a few month.

Most generous. I think Rome had something like $600 a year average income.

I was speaking of 1gp = $100 today.

Aware. Golds a lot more common in D&D.

Yes.

When doing this math I look how much a pint of beer costs. 4cp. I just paid around 4€. Which is around $4.

Going by that metric, 2gp is around 200€ per day. 1k per week. 4k per month. 50k per year. About right for a am average monthly income around here (before taxes).

Of course, if you live somewhere, where $4 buy you far more than a beer and the average income is way lower, this needs to be adjusted.

Cheap beer. Small glass or something nasty here.

The unskilled guys are going to have to work for obvious villains who offer a pittance more that allows them to eat and drink just enough not to die or be swayed into a cult for two hots and a cot. This is why the world is always in peril.

Valmar the Defenestrator may be strict, but he offers a hireling dental plan as well as a paid discretionary day.

No. Around here it is neither small nor nasty.

 

[Zardnaar]

No. Around here it is neither small nor nasty.

That's why I said cheap.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

That's why I said cheap.

No. Not cheap.
Average.

Ok. Missed your "here" in your first post.

Where do you live?
