However, the 'standard' economy in Jazz Edition uses the following coins and exchange rates:    100 Copper Pieces = 10 Silver Pieces = 2 Electrum Pieces = 1 Gold Piece = 1/5 Platinum Piece.    One gold piece is defined as enough money to feed a peasant for one year. This assumes that the peasant is providing much of his own food, but one gold piece will cover the rest. When you look at the price of a weapon, bear in mind this economic fact and realize just how rich you are.STARTING EQUIPMENTYou start with 3d6 x 10 gold pieces. Once you roll your starting money, you should spend most of it. No pc should enter play with more than 20 gp in cash. Available gear is broken down into categories: Armor & Shields, Weapons, Clothing, Mounts & Animals and Miscellanious.ARMOR & SHIELDSArmor and shield are the basic protective gear that one needs in battle. When a creature wears armor it is not proficient in, it takes a -2 penalty to speed, defenses and attacks. When a creature uses a shield it is not proficient in, it takes a -1 penalty to Reflex, initiative and defenses. When a creature wears a helm that it is not proficient in, it takes a -1 penalty to speed, initiative and skill checks.     NOTE: If you do not wear armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC if you Dexterity is 13 or higher and a +2 bonus to AC if your Dexterity is 16 or higher.Protection Type --- Bonuses/Notes --- Cost Leather armor --- +1 AC (+2 with Dex 12; +3 with Dex 16) --- 5 gpStudded leather --- +2 AC (+3 with Dex 14; +4 with Dex 18) --- 25 gpChain mail --- +3 AC (+4 with Dex 17); -5' speed --- 50 gpScale armor --- +4 AC; -1 speed --- 75 gpBanded mail --- +5 AC; +1 Fortitude; -5' speed --- 150 gpPlate mail --- +6 AC; +2 Fortitude; -5' speed --- 600 gpFull plate --- +7 AC; +2 Fortitude; -5' speed --- 5,000 gpLight shield --- +1 AC; +1 Reflex --- 5 gpHeavy shield --- +2 AC; +2 Reflex --- 20 gpCap --- +1 AC --- 5 gpHelm     --- +1 AC; -1 crit severity --- 12 gpGreat helm --- +2 AC; -1d3 crit severity --- 35 gpWEAPONSWielding a weapon that one is not proficient in incurs no penalty per se; however, the wielder must be proficient in order to gain the weapon's proficiency bonus. Weapons are divided into broad categories based on their function. These categories overlap and many weapons are members of multiple categories; they include Axes, Bows, Crossbows, Chain Weapons, Clubs, Hammers, Heavy Blades, Heavy Thrown Weapons, Light Blades, Light Thrown Weapons, Pole Arms, Slings and Spears. Each weapon's damage is noted as B, P and/or S; these represent bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage types. Weapons with multiple types listed can deal any of those types, but the default is the first one listed. Finally, many weapons have special characteristics, which are noted below. A non-proficient wielder cannot benefit from any of these characteristics except for reach.Weapon Type --- Prof --- Damage/Crit --- Notes --- Categories --- Cost    Awl pike* --- +1 --- 1d8/x3 P --- Reach 3, set --- Pole arm, spear --- 45 gp    Bastard sword** --- +2 --- 2d4/19-20 S/P --- None --- Hvy blade --- 30 gpBattle axe** --- +2 --- 1d8/x3 S --- None --- Axe --- 18 gp    Broad sword --- +1 --- 1d8/19-20 S/P --- None --- Hvy blade --- 15 gp    Club --- +1 --- 1d4 B --- None --- Club --- FreeDagger --- +3 --- 1d4/19-20 P/S --- Range 3 --- Lt blade, lt thrown --- 5 gp        Dagger, silver --- +3 --- 1d4/19-20 P/S --- Range 3 --- Lt blade, lt thrown --- 50 gpDart --- +3 --- 1d3 P --- Range 3 --- Lt thrown --- 2 gp    Flail** --- +2 --- 1d8/x3 B --- Dangerous --- Chain --- 15 gpGlaive* --- +1 --- 2d4/19-20 P/S --- Reach 2, set --- Hvy blade, pole arm --- 30 gpGreat axe* --- +1 --- 1d12/x3 S --- None --- Axe --- 60 gpGreat sword* --- +1 --- 1d10/19-20 S/P --- None --- Hvy blade --- 50 gp        Halberd* --- +1 --- 1d10/x3 S/P --- Reach 2 --- Axe, pole arm --- 40 gp        Hand axe --- +2 --- 1d6/x3 S --- None --- Axe --- 8 gp        Heavy crossbow* --- +1 --- 1d12/19-20 P --- Range 12; load full --- Crossbow --- 250 gp        Javelin --- +2 --- 1d6 P --- Range 4 --- Spear, hvy thrown --- 10 gpLance --- +2 --- 1d8 P --- Mounted, reach 2 --- Spear --- 40 gpLight crossbow* --- +1 --- 1d8/19-20 P --- Range 8; load standard --- Crossbow --- 65 gp        Longbow* --- +2 --- 1d8/x3 P --- Range 10 --- Bow --- 100 gpLongsword --- +2 --- 1d8/19-20 S/P --- None --- Hvy blade --- 20 gpMace** --- +1 --- 1d6 B --- None --- Club --- 7 gp    Maul* --- +1 --- 1d10 B --- None --- Hammer --- 30 gpQuarterstaff --- +2 --- 1d6 B --- Defensive --- Club --- 10 gpRanseur* --- +1 --- 2d4 P/S --- Reach 2; tripping --- Pole arm, spear     --- 30 gpScimitar --- +2 --- 1d6/18-20 S --- None  --- Lt blade --- 40 gpShortbow* --- +3 --- 1d6/x3 P --- Range 6 --- Bow --- 30 gpShort sword --- +2 --- 1d6/19-20 P/S --- None  --- Lt blade --- 10 gp    Sling    --- +2 --- 1d4 B --- Range 5; load minor --- Sling --- 4 gpSpear** --- +2 --- 1d6/x3 P --- Reach 2, set --- Spear --- 12 gpThrowing axe --- +1 --- 1d6 S --- Range 3 --- Axe, hvy thrown --- 12 gp    War hammer --- +2 --- 1d6 B --- Range 3     --- Hammer, hvy thrown --- 12 gpAmmunition --- Notes --- Cost    Arrow --- Ammunition for bows --- 1 spArrow, silver --- Ammunition for bows --- 1 gpBolt --- Ammunition for crossbows --- 3 spBolt, silver --- Ammunition for crossbows --- 3 gpStone --- Ammunition for slings --- FreeBullet --- Ammunition for slings; gives +1 bonus to damage --- 5 cp    Bullet, silver --- Ammunition for slings; gives +1 bonus to damage --- 5 sp*Requires two hands to use.**You can wield this weapon in one or two hands.Dangerous: A non-proficient wielder fumbles on a 1-2.Defensive: You gain a +1 bonus to AC while wielding this weapon.Mounted: When you charge with this weapon and you are mounted, you gain a +4 bonus to damage. When you use this weapon and you are not mounted, you gain no proficiency bonus from it.Range: This indicates the weapon's range increment, in squares. A missile weapon can fire to a maximum of 10 range increments; thrown weapons can be hurled a maximum of 5 range increments. For every range increment beyond the first, the attack suffers a -1 penalty to hit.Set: When you spend a standard action to ready this weapon against a charging enemy and you hit, you deal double normal damage dice and gain a +1d6 bonus to crit severity.Silver: Certain monsters are vulnerable to silver weapons. A silver version of most weapons can be fashioned, costing about ten times the normal amount, but ony a few are commonly made. Others must be custom-made.Tripping: You get a +4 bonus on your opposed roll to trip an enemy with this weapon.CLOTHINGClothing makes the man, or so some would have you believe. Each pc starts with three items of poor clothing for free; anything else must be purchased. True finery, such as would be found in the upper classes, typically must be custom-made.Clothing --- Cost    Beggar's shift --- 1 cpPoor trousers --- 2 cpPoor shirt --- 1 cp            Poor cloak --- 3 cp            Poor hat --- 1 cp            Poor sandals --- 4 cp            Merchant's coat     --- 1 gp            Merchant's breeches --- 7 sp            Merchant's shoes. --- 1 gp        Merchant's hat --- 2 gp            Merchant's belt --- 3 sp            Traveler's tunic --- 5 spTraveler's trousers --- 5 spTraveler's boots --- 2 gpTraveler's cloak (hooded) --- 8 spTraveler's jacket --- 1 gpTraveler's belt --- 2 spPlain robes --- 5 spFancy robes --- 20 gpWorkman's gloves --- 5 cpRiding gloves --- 5 spFancy gloves --- 5 gpMOUNTS & ANIMALS    Mounts and livestock are an important part of everyday life. While adventurers may have limited interest in buying livestock, it is quite possible that the only treasure they might find in a goblin outpost is a bunch of chickens and goats, so they may wish to sell them. Slaves are included on this list as they are legally considered “livestock” in most areas. Other, more exotic animals are sometimes available for sale on a case by case basis, including hippogriffs, griffons, pegasi, drakes, etc.Animal --- Notes --- Cost        Bodokod --- Large beetle used to haul wagons and other slow steady labor     --- 60 gp Cat --- None --- 1 spChicken --- None --- ¼ cpCow --- None --- 80 gpDog --- None --- 4 gpDog (war) --- Trained for battle --- 25 gpGaren --- Zebra-like mount --- 20 gpGoat --- None --- 5 gpHorse (draft) --- None --- 35 gpHorse (riding) --- None --- 50 gpHorse (war) --- Trained for battle --- 120 gpKocho --- Riding (flightless) bird; trained for battle --- 150 gpMule --- None --- 15 gpOx --- None --- 30 gpPig --- None --- 8 gpRiding lizard --- None --- 40 gpShikkigar --- Gnomish war cats; only available in gnome communities --- 250 gpSlave, adolescent --- Assumes healthy --- 100 gpSlave, labor --- Assumes healthy --- 400 gpSlave, pleasure --- Assumes healthy --- 500 gpSlave, skilled --- Assumes healthy; price may be much higher, depending on skills --- 1,500 gpMISCELLANIOUSThis is a catch-all category that includes pretty much everything else. Included on this price list are some services, as well as various types of equipment. In all cases, the assumed quality of the item in question is poor to average. For a higher quality item, the cost will ratchet up quickly.    A few items are listed with their cost as “*”. These items are expended by value (a typical example is ritual components).Item or Service --- Notes --- Cost        Ale, cask --- Good quality may increase price 500% --- 2 gpAle, cup --- Good quality may increase price 500% --- 1 cpAle, skin --- Good quality may increase price 500% --- 4 cpBackpack    --- None --- 5 spBarrister --- Lawyer/advocate --- 5 gp/dayBelt pouch --- None  --- 3 cpCrier --- Yell messages on street corner or in market --- 3 cp/dayFlint & steel --- Fire starting kit --- 5 spGrappling hook --- Gives +2 bonus to climb --- 3 gpHoly symbol, wood --- Needed for prayers --- 5 cpHoly symbol, iron --- Needed for 2nd valence prayers --- 1 gpHoly symbol, silver --- Needed for 4th valence prayers --- 25 gpHoly water --- Lt thrown; range 2; deals 0 radiant damage     --- 20 gpIncense --- None --- 1 cp/hourInk and quill --- None --- 10 gpLantern, hooded --- Bright light in a burst 6; dim light for 3 more squares --- 5 gpLantern, bullseye --- Bright light in a blast 6; dim light for 1 more square --- 3 gpMaid --- Household service --- 7 cp/dayMan-at-arms --- Untrained; you must provide gear --- 1 gp/dayManservant --- Basic personal attendant --- 5 sp/dayMeal at an inn --- Good quality may increase price 1000% --- 4 cpMirror, hand --- None --- 20 gpOil, alchemist's fire --- Dangerous, range 2; 1d6 fire + ongoing 2 fire (save ends on a 10+; adjacent enemies take 2 fire) --- 5 gpOil, lamp --- Burns for 2 hours --- 2 spParchment (blank) --- None  --- 1 gpPole (10') --- None --- 1 cpPorter --- Servant to carry gear --- 3 sp/dayRations, iron --- Preserved; will not spoil easily --- 4 sp/dayRations, standard --- Unpreserved --- 1 sp/dayRitual components --- Needed by clerics & wizards for many things ---     *Room (common) --- Sleep in common room with everyone else --- 1 cp/nightRoom (poor) --- Shared with many strangers --- Room (average) --- Shared with a few, likely strangers --- 8 cp/nightRoom (good) --- Shared with a few friends; own room triples price --- 5 sp/nightRoom (fine) --- Shared with friends or attendants; private bed --- 5 gp/nightRoom (rich) --- Includes beck-and-call service; suite of rooms --- 35 gp/nightRope (50') --- None --- 1 spSack (large) --- None --- 3 cpSack (small) --- None --- 1 cpThieves' tools --- For picking locks & disabling traps --- 20 gpTorch --- Dim light in a burst 4; lasts 2 hours --- 1 cpWaterskin --- None --- 2 cpWine, bottle --- Good quality may increase price 2000% --- 3 spWine, cask --- Good quality may increase price 2000% --- 8 gpWine, cup --- Good quality may increase price 2000% --- 3 cp        Wine, skin --- Good quality may increase price 2000% --- 2 sp</blockquote>
