IIRC, 20th level PCs have about 2x (or 3x, I haven't actually done the math because it includes magic items) in wealth as 3E. 1st level PCs have about the same. Mundane items and services cost about the same.So, 1000 GP is about $100,000 ($10,000 if someone were to be super generous with the conversion and a stay at the inn costs $5 a night).The economic scale is incredibly steep in 4E. It's kind of hard to justify that kind of expenditure for a Healing Potion for something the PC Cleric or Paladin can do with a wave of his hand, especially since it is so difficult to kill a PC in 4E (if there are fellow PCs to help out within 3 rounds) unless one considers that 4E hands out truck loads of Gold, so it's actually ok.</blockquote>
