[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 5369487, member: 65637"] I don't have buying and selling magic armor or weapons. Mostly because I don't have magic armor or weapons at all. Inherent bonuses for the win. Also I find it kinda silly that shops break a person's immersion in the game where castles exist alongside flying creatures (Boy those walls sure did you a lot of good), organized warfare exists alongside wizards (Cloudkill. Just... cloudkill), and medieval class systems appear alongside clerics (Gee I'm sure literally irradicating all disease could never have any social ramificatioons at all!) This is ignoring that, at it's heart, it's a game where medieval knights in ren-era platemail (But no guns! Never any guns!) use greatclubs to fight flying magical lizards so they can steal more gold then literally exists from their cave. Verisimilitude is more or less the practice of ignoring realism because realism isn't fun. If you have magical dragons and castles, you can fit magic shops in there, too. [/QUOTE]
