Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 6511029" data-attributes="member: 2011">I agree with you 100%.I only have two issues on this subject:1) The DMG stating that magic items should not be purchased as the default rule without having good optional rules to support the thousands of gaming tables that prefer the alternative.2) People stating that magic item shops don't make sense. They do. They might not be the preference for some players and that's cool. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> But, they make just as much sense as any other shop given basic economics and human behaviors. If plate mail can be bought for $1500, then an uncommon magic item should be purchasable for $500 GP or thereabouts (using the DMG craft prices).Wasn't there an organization called F.E.A.R or some such acronym (fraternity against armored riff raff) in the original City State of the Invincible Overlord? They didn't want adventurers walking around in plate mail and thought that adventurers should not be allowed to use the best armors (couldn't buy it, would be arrested for wearing it, etc.).</blockquote>
