[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7185167, member: 23"] A *tremendeous* help for calculating numbers here will be the "daily expense" table. You can basically assume that the average peasant is poor and makes 2sp/day. A portion of townsfolk are laborers (also 2 sp/day) but others are wealthier and make more. The daily expense is an excellent guide to get "realistic within D&D" values for daily income. You can figure out what % of the population is in each income bracket, then figure out the total daily income of the entire region. From this you can then figure out taxes. I had a huge thread about this to calculate the GDP of an area, and then from that calculate the reward the rulers of such an area (town, village, city state, kingdom etc etc) could possibly give you. It makes no bloody sense that a 200 people village gives a 3-4 times their GDP as a reward (as is suggested in some published adventures) they just don't have the funds! I don't know if the thread still exist, let me look... [/QUOTE]
