Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lerysh" data-source="post: 6423041" data-attributes="member: 6783796">^That is a flat out lie^Unless there is rampant poverty in a kingdom, most people are making 1gp a day minimum.  More if they can muster any kind of savings.  If the King/Queen are providing for housing, and the pesantry are providing for food, that's still 1gp per head in the kingdom of effort and expenditure each day.  To quote the PHB "Ordinary people living modest lifestyles include soldiers with families, laborers, students, priests, hedge wizards, and the like." Merchants and skilled craftsman actually have a better lifestyle.  Gone are the days of peasants only making a silver piece a day.Magic Items are like any other commodity, there is a demand, if there is a supply then some price should be able to be worked out.  To think no one would ever traffic in magic items is more far fetched than the alternative.  What exactly happens to all those +1 swords anyway?  They get carried off by adventurers and then dropped at the bottom of dungeons? Are they given away by high level adventurers to newbies?  If so why isn't every group running around with at least +1 weapons all the time?  Clearly there exists some way to MAKE magic items, so people with this skill would not market it?  Of course they would.Also, can you imagine an Eberron setting where magic isn't readily available for purchase?  That's basically the basis for their entire economy.  Even farming is done with liberal castings of control weather.</blockquote>
