[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 4564172, member: 29398"] This is one place where a hard-and-fast rule, while convenient, isn't realistic. Some mundane gear you find is half-wrecked. Some is quite serviceable. Some is masterwork, but doesn't look like it under all the dirt and grime. And so on. For a low-level party just starting out, mundane gear can represent a significant portion of their first treasury or two. If they come back to town with a pile of mundane gear (and when I recently ran Keep on the Borderlands, they came back with *cartloads*!) I just roll randomly to see what general condition it's all in on average, then assign an overall value roughly based on that. But 20% is too low regardless, unless it all got melted in a firecube. As for magic, sometimes they get good offers for what they are trying to sell, sometimes they don't; depends what it is, what the demand's like, and on random chance. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
