[QUOTE="BlackRazor, post: 513296, member: 9178"] [b]Castle Defense[/b] What your warrior "own" and what is used in the defense of a castle is entirely two different thing. The money a normal 1st level warrior own will probably go for many other thing than his fighting gear. Afterall, he did not choose the life of those no gooder adventurer, living only with a backpack and sleeping in their armor. He will probably buy some furniture to tidy up his barracks and have many more set of clothing that a normal adventurer. He would probably go out of his way to buy better boots, coldwear and rainwear than average so his patrol when the meteo suck wont be so depleseant. His lord will provide him with a place to live, armor, weapon training and purppose. I dont think its a good idea to evaluate the defence of a castle by doing a "men-by-men" analysis except if the castle is run by mercenaries or some kind of collective anarchy. The gear they will have is linked to the cash the owner of the castle can munster and his willingless to defend it. Also take in consideration that owner of large lands with natural ressources (as castle owner thend to be) usually manufacture most of their products themselves for their own troop. Reducing the cost of many items. If the lord in question posess a iron mine and some forested area you can be sure as hell that nearly all his soldier will sport some metal armor and he wont have to "Buy" them. because he simply pay the armorer his regular wage, without having to consider making profit. - Dont mix economics and D&D, you only get headache.
