Drow question

[Endur]

A charisma 20+ pleasure slave in my drow campaign sold for between 150k and 250k (don't remember the exact price).

Most slaves would sell for less. Probably a figure between 100's to 1000's of gold pieces, depending on race, characteristics, and skills. Supply and Demand would be very important to price.

There was a d20 supplement that covered slave trading. Not sure I remember the name.

I wouldn't include the BAB of a fighter-type as a good thing. I was just reading through Drow of the Underdark (free copy, in my defense!), and it said that humans with fighting ability or magical ability are considered dangerous.

I think your formula of 100 gp (ability mod + skill mod) sounds pretty good, but maybe with a penalty for fighting skills/spells. Like 100 gp (ability mod+ skill mod - BAB and/or caster level).

In game, how one determines how many ranks someone has, what spells he can cast, how good he swings a sword, or how wise he is may be difficult to determine compared to how strong or healthy a slave is. Maybe you could use a special Sense Motive or Profession: Slaver check, or something like that. But you could always gloss over that part

BTW, after reading that bit in DotU, I'm thinking 'pleasure' slaves wouldn't be so popular in the Underdark.

That is another great idea Profession: Slaver. I will use that. Thanks.

I also see your point on BAB. So I think I will stick with the formula of 100 gp x (ability mod + skill mod) and maybe going with + or - 10-20% depending on race.
