[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8078050, member: 93670"] rather than costly components like a diamond wotth 50gp (chromatic orb), xxx gp of diamond dust that gets consumed (rez type spells), & so on have a simple table that lists few generic components sorted into both divine & arcane components consumed by casting & components you just need to have, list that table gp per gram & have spells list things like "x grams of $component" or whatever. This does a few things: [LIST] [*]Lets say your a GM & want to put a costly spell component in a baddie's treasure/belt pouch/stomach/etc... Right now you need to read through every spell in the phb xge & so on to pick out the costly components & make a list. With this you could just lok at the table & give out some [*]If a GM wants to adjust the economy to make the setting feel different due to industrialization/collapse of civilization/whatever it's a big mess but with this you still have 3 grams of whatever, it's just priced at a value that fits the economy.
