[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 7950660, member: 6932123"] 4 GP per day, or about 1500 GP per year. An aristocratic lifestyle has a minimum of 10 GP per day, or 3650 GP per year. Note that I'm using stats from 1900, where vaccines and cars and such aren't a factor. It is a point where child mortality rates had started to go down compared to historical levels, though (sitting at about 36%, compared to 40%+ for pretty much everything pre-1860). But yeah, there are tons of other things that I just have no way to model. Definitely a real concern. Google tells me the world of the Forgotten Realms has a population of 68,000,000. That population would burn through 400,000 diamonds per year. My own estimations of the equivalence between GP and real world money would estimate a 500 GP diamond to be about 2 carats. So we need 800,000 carats of diamonds. Google again tells me: [S]So with modern tech, we produce just about as many carats of diamonds (after cutting) as might be needed each year for resurrections. Getting that much in a fantasy setting seems... unlikely.[/S] Dumb math brain. 133 mil, not 1.33 mil. With that scale, if the fantasy world can mine even 1% of what the modern world can, then it's feasible. [/QUOTE]
