Goblin Treasure

[Grymar]

Slightly off-tangent, but has anyone experimented with having a substandard category (opposite of masterwork) for weapons/armor. i mean, you'd expect at least some goblins/similar creatures to have ill-kept/made weapons and armor, yes?

Yep. I'll do "cheap" weapons that do -1 damage.

Also I'm running my PF game in Eberron and there the magic item creation is a near monopoly by the Dragonmarked Houses. To put a mechanical touch on why they have that monopoly I have a house rule that says that any magic item or service not done by a House has a percentage chance (30-50%) of having a flaw, like a CLW potion does 1d8-1 healing.

The Houses have figured out quality control and mass production (their goods cost less too), which is why they have the monopoly.

Goods and Gear from Kenzer and Company has rules for weapons of liek 4 or 5 different levels of quality along with pricing and stats for EVERYTHING...hirelings, ladies of the evening, spices, makeup, clothes, weapons, pets..EVERYTHING

its a really really good book for gear (non-magic)

That is way too little loot.... I may be a little bias since I have been part of a goblin campaign for the last 4 years

And we have everything + sum more gear.

But yea, as an NPC that was a little over the top... who cares, you don't need some rule to decide how much gold the little green-skin have.
