[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6389430, member: 13009"] In an average fantasy city in Forgotten Realms or Eberron, sure they would have one for sale. No but a the cleric or paladin should have the one spell that can save their friends lives, yes. Early level play is deadly as hell in 5e, monsters can one shot you super easy, and at that level just roll up a new character. By 5th level which doesn't take that long honestly, you have some investment in the character and death maters. No surprise this is when you get access to the magic to make death pointless. They always have a spell component pouch or focus for most spells yes, for raise dead spells you make sure you purchase the components. In 5e by default you can't go around purchasing magic weapons or armor so sure the first few things you should purchase with your gold is diamonds. Sure I don't sweat the small stuff, if it is a city not a village or hamlet coin to gem exchange can be hand waved. Spell preparation is mandatory, expensive material components are a must but easy to just exchange for coin in any city, not before every encounter there are short and long rests and things that recover on those. But do I take away gear, or lop off limbs, or destroy the wizards spell book, heck NO. [/QUOTE]
