D&D Equipment with d20 Modern Purchase DCs

[Desdichado]

Hey, anyone ever made a chart or list or whatever of purchase DCs (using d20 Modern wealth system) for the equipment in the basic equipment chapter of the PHB?

In the Second World Sourcebook, there is an interesting section on switching over from a GP system to a Wealth & Influence system.

But it doesn't actually have the table in question.

I *think* d20 Modern co-designer Charles Ryan once posted a GP to Wealth system suggestion to the d20 Modern boards at WotC. Lemme check my notes and I'll get back to you...

Found it:

Charles Ryan on Gold Piece to Dollar conversion

Here's the rule of thumb that we used for mundane items; it's less
reliable for FX items but gives you a place to start.

Take the gp value and multiply by 10 to get a dollar value. (Because
there are big differences between the modern economy and a medieval
economy, you might choose to alter that number; for some items we
multiplied the gp value by 20, or just estimated a modern cost.)
Next, go to the table on page 204 and convert the dollar value to a
purchase DC.

Voila!

Well, that's easy enough! Thanks!

Are you thinking about using a wealth system and purchase DC system like this in your game Josh, or were you just curious?

Joe and Suzi Browning recently produced a version of this for their Magical Medieval Society book.
