[QUOTE="anest1s, post: 5618184, member: 94230"] Well, basically I think every shop would have many minor items that would be easy to sell, and fewer costly ones. A shop with 50k gp worth of items isn't a shop that would have moderate wondrous items in its inventory, simply because the shopkeeper wouldn't be able to find the right buyers for his 4 items. So there should be an analogy like: 1 expensive item 2 items half that prize 4 1/4 that prize 8 1/8 that prize etc etc (minimum 250gp for the last category) So a shop with a 50k worth of items would have 50.000/250=200 So there are the following options: [LIST=1] [*]200 (*250gp) [*]100 (*250gp)+50(*500gp) [*]66,6(*250gp)+33,3(*500gp)+16,6(*1000gp) [*]50(*250gp)+27(*500gp)+12(*1000gp)+6(2000gp) [*]40(*250gp)+20(*500gp)+12(*1000gp)+5 (2000gp)+ 2(*4000gp) [*]33.3(*250gp)+16,65(*500gp)+8,325(*1000gp) +4,1625(2000gp)+2,08125(*4000gp)+1,040625(*8000gp) [/LIST] I would go for the 5th option as it makes sense that a shopkeeper wouldn't have 1/6th of his shop invested on a single item. So my list would be like this: (I filled only the first one because of lack of time, maybe Ill edit later) [U][B]0-250gp items: (40) [/B][/U] 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#anchor"]Feather token, anchor[/URL] 50 gp 07 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#universalSolvent"]Universal solvent[/URL] 50 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#elixirofLove"]Elixir of love[/URL] 150 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#unguentofTimelessness"]Unguent of timelessness[/URL] 150 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#fan"]Feather token, fan[/URL] 200 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#dustofTracelessness"]Dust of tracelessness[/URL] 250 gp 03 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#elixirofHiding"]Elixir of hiding[/URL] 250 gp 03 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#elixirofSneaking"]Elixir of sneaking[/URL] 250 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#elixirofSwimming"]Elixir of swimming[/URL] 250 gp 03 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#elixirofVision"]Elixir of vision[/URL] 250 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#silversheen"]Silversheen[/URL] 250 gp 25 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/cureLightWounds.htm"]Cure light wounds[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 04 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/endureElements.htm"]Endure elements[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 04 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/hideFromAnimals.htm"]Hide from animals[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 04 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/hideFromUndead.htm"]Hide from undead[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 05 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/jump.htm"]Jump[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 10 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/mageArmor.htm"]Mage armor[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magicFang.htm"]Magic fang[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magicStone.htm"]Magic stone[/URL] (oil) 50 gp 05 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magicWeapon.htm"]Magic weapon[/URL] (oil) 50 gp 05 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/passWithoutTrace.htm"]Pass without trace[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 10 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/protectionFromEvil.htm"]Protection from (alignment)[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 10 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/removeFear.htm"]Remove fear[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 03 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/sanctuary.htm"]Sanctuary[/URL] (potion) 50 gp 05 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/shieldOfFaith.htm"]Shield of faith[/URL] +2 (potion) 50 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/shillelagh.htm"]Shillelagh[/URL] (oil) 50 gp 05 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/blessWeapon.htm"]Bless weapon[/URL] (oil) 100 gp 05 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/enlargePerson.htm"]Enlarge person[/URL] (potion) 250 gp 02 [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/reducePerson.htm"]Reduce person[/URL] (potion) 250 gp [U][B]250-500gp items: (20)[/B][/U] [U][B] 500-1000gp items (12) (remove 2 from here and make it 10*) 1000-2000gp items (5) (remove 1 from here and make it 4*)[/B] [B] 2000-4000gp items (2) [/B][/U]*Special notice: Any customer who wants to buy scrolls or items worth under 4000gp can order them (Special note- In my campaign I just let them buy whatever they want, after all I don't roll to see if my NPCs were able to find the equipment I gave them) [/QUOTE]
