[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 3193994, member: 232"] Economies based on non-coin commodities while realistic are pretty much ignored in games. Gold coins is just easier. But to address your two specific questions. Ogres would be able to do business with someone looking to make some money. Sure, they can't go into the market place, but there will be merchants and people willing to go to the ogres to do business. I see that as a great side plot for some NPCs or part of an investigation. Or maybe there are market places that allow Ogres and other monstrious humaniods to shop. That's a great place for the PCs to encounter. Dragons in legends always hoarded money. I see them saving up for when they start making magical items. I know Dragons don't usually have Craft Feats, but they can and with their natural spellcasting abilities they can really be great crafters. The time and money to do so rarely should be an issue for them. So, we come to another cool adventure or encounter. The PCs need magical gear so they have to go negotiate with a dragon. [/QUOTE]
