Total chickens?  17.2 billion.  (Consequences: under this example, the US could feed every citizen one chicken per day for approximately 2 years before burning through their chicken supply).I look at the cash on hand (13.8 gp and think to myself, "that's what, a week or two worth of inn meals and rooms (1-2 gp per day for lodging and prepared meals)?"  In the US, that is what, about $50 per day if you sleep at Motel 6 and eat at McDonald's?  Do you have roughly $350-700 cash in your bank account right this second?  How many people living paycheck-to-paycheck have about that much money?  I hadn't tried it on such a scale before, but to be honest, the numbers look about right.Whether or not this is truly realistic is left to the reader.--The Sigil</blockquote>
