[QUOTE="Wolfen Priest, post: 376488, member: 3909"] I know you were being tongue-in-cheek, but by the reasoning given, a 'masterwork' firearm would actually cost $32,000. And I'm [i]quite[/i] sure that's not the case. But really, it's neither here nor there to try to compare D&D prices with modern-day prices. However, I personally don't like campaigns so gritty that travelling peasants have to sleep in filth-encrusted sewer-drains because they can't afford the 2sp to room in the giant, smelly greatroom of a beer-stained, foul and run-down inn. The inns could be making money (better than none) simply by lowering the price. If we are going to base the basic D&D campaign off of Tolkien's Middle-Earth, I don't think he would have it that way either. If the society were anything resembling capitalism, common laborers (assuming they make up the majority of all people, and include farmers) would earn more than 1 sp/day. There would still be a huge disparity of wealth between the rich and the 'middle-class' just as there is in our own world; but how an innkeeper (of a "poor" or "squalid" inn no less) would be able to earn more money by charging 2-days wages than something more appropriate is beyond me.
