[QUOTE="Olive, post: 992923, member: 1297"] And you think that most medieval peasants could do these things? [B][/B] If what you mean is, do they in my campaign, then no not really. They have bizarre incomes, but also bizarre expenses. Unlike most people they stay in hotels almost exlusively, and eat out constantly. They also have odd needs for military equipment and arcane oddities that your average peasants don't have. [B][/B] This is a good point, but again, I don't think its particularly unrealistic. I just make sure that when they rock into a small town, they get treated with respect. [B][/B] I've said this a million times, I think the prices make more sense than people realise. Adventurers are fabulously rich. If they weren't then where would be the attraction in adventuring? It's a profession based or profit from killing creatures. Most people don't have the skills and even if they had the chance to develop them then they wouldn't want to becase it's better to be a filthy poor peasant than dead.
