Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jimlock" data-source="post: 5575792" data-attributes="member: 6674931">Hold on a second...How does leaving those couple of phrases out change anything?How does it change my argument, or the facts, when i said:I can't believe that missing out the reference to PHB, the fact that a spellcraft check is not required, and the fact that the research costs double the money only when an NPC gets to teach the wizard...changes anything in respect to my arguments.And the reason i'm getting so fastidious about it, is because you begun your post by creating the illusion that the missing text counters the rest, or my argument, which is clearly not the case.As long as its RAW, its fine by me.Indeed, i do not get to make RAW. What RAW does, is that it gives the DM all the freedom he needs to adjust/set prices according to availability, supply and demand, for his setting.So if a DM wants to adjust/set prices on materials he is free to do so, by RAW.As for the references you asked for:Availability, PHB p112Economics - Supply and Demand, DMG p140It is important to say here, that those paragraphs are not found in chapters like "changing the rules", or related to phrases like "The DM is god, he can change whatever rule he wants".Thus changing/setting prices and availability, is not house-ruling. It's flexibility, provided by RAW.As i understand it, and by my experience with the above mentioned adjudications, RAW provides the DM all the tools needed to restrain wizards as much as he wants, without any house-ruling involved.I say it's enough to "unbrake" the wizard, if one wants to.You say it's not.I guess that this the point that we agree that we disagree.That's fine. This is what this forum is also about.</blockquote>
