[QUOTE="Uller, post: 276995, member: 413"] My only question is _why_ are you looking for this level of minutae? Do you delve down to this level for picking a lock? (what tool do you use, how do you use it? etc.) I presume that you don't know squat about picking a lock and if your rogue player announces he attempts to open a lock you assign a DC and say "Roll". Just come up with a reasonable DC to make money based on the circumstances. Allow the players to add their most relevant skill to the roll or something. Success means a small profit. Failure means a small loss. Success by 10 or more means a larger profit and failure by 10 or more means a major failure of the business. The point is, the more time you waste trying to allow your PCs (or NPCs) to run a business, the less time you have to plan and run _adventures_. D&D is not SimMedieval Life. It is an adventure game and the rules around economics and business are kept very simplisitic for exactly this reason. Sorry if I seem a little harsh...not intended. [/QUOTE]
