[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1827506, member: 99"] In the last big campaign I ran, there were no "Ye Olde Magic Shoppe" style stores sitting on the corner, even in major cities. But magic was available for purchase if you knew the right people. In the early levels, this was severely restricted due to the rural geographic area that the PC's were in. The only access they had to magic items for purchase was from a Wizard/Peddlar who was visiting the area. His selection was narrow but he did have a few items for sale and was willing to make scrolls for the party. As the campaign progressed, the party began to gain access to faster travel magic. First long distance flight (thanks to the Druid's Feathers spell) and then Teleportation. That brought about an era when they could go to a large city during their down time. At that point I eased up a bit on what could be purchased. Essentially I indicated that a broker could find them what they wanted that was under around the 10,000 GP mark but it might take some time. Above that it was still very rare. This was a function of the extremely small number of high level NPC's in my campaign world. If I had more high level NPC's floating around, I'd have eased these restrictions even further. [/QUOTE]
