[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9395161, member: 29398"] I play a PC who could, if she wanted, walk down to the city square (she's in the setting's direct equivalent to republic-era Rome) and buy herself some slaves right now. Were she a different sort of person, that's exactly what she'd do as she needs staff for her new domus (townhouse). But, for reasons of sheer practicality rather than altruism, she eschews slaves in favour of free and paid employees: slaves have no reason to be loyal and every reason not to even if treated decently; where I can earn the honest loyalty of paid staff by treating them well and paying them fairly. And having loyal people around you is important in that city, believe me. :) That said, were she to decide to buy herself a few slaves where does the DM look for guidance as to pricing? [/QUOTE]
