[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6154514, member: 8835"] Where in the rules and by what rulebook does it say that my PC cannot sell you my Longsword +1 for 500GP? Where in the rules does it say that GM cannot price gouge a PC to purchase a healing potion for 1000GP because the PC is bleeding out and REALLY needs to buy it from the NPC whose shop he happened to get shanked in front of. The prices in the rulebook have always been a guide, primarily for the initial build of a PC. Unless we're simulating the Catholic Church locking down prices because everything has an absolute worth, once the PCs hit the game table, all bets are off regarding to what a PC may have to pay to buy anything in game. Any player who argues otherwise is likely to get into a surprise with his next new GM. As to One Wrong Wayism, pointing out something is [B]objectively[/B] wrong, is in fact not One True Wayism. Arguing something is [B]subjectively[/B] wrong would be One True Wayism. the former is trying to teach somebody facts. The latter is trying to force an opposing opinion on somebody. if you want to make a baby, stuffing cookies into a vagina is the wrong way to do it. It is a fallacy to assume that all ways must be accepted as correct, when in reality, many ways CAN be correct AND just as many ways can be WRONG. So the way to win the argument, is to demonstrate FACTUAL errors in my analysis. Saying I'm wrong because you don't want people to buy or sell magic items is not sufficient to win a debate. I would advise observing Umbran. He's found some valid points against my argument. [/QUOTE]
