[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8392225, member: 2629"] D&D is an RPG. A role playing game. Characters play a role in a story. I want the stories to make sense. If an orc has a greataxe that works like a greataxe, it has value as a (used) greataxe. If the PCs can get it it someplace where people want greataxes, it can be sold for value. Yes, a 'typical orc' as written in the PHB has about 40 gp worth of equipment. So, when the PCs encounter 8 orcs, if you equip them per the PHB, they have 320 GP in equipment that can be sold - if there is a market. They may have to travel to find the place to sell it, or sell it to someone that wants to take it elsewhere and sell it for more, but they generally can find ways not to sell it for coppers on the gp. I am absolutely not worried about the PCs getting this much gold, or 10 times that much gold, at low levels. It allows them to do things in the game that are fun. They do need to figure out how to move it (bag of holding, tenser's floating disks, etc...), but that generally is not a problem by the time they hit 3rd level. [/QUOTE]
