[QUOTE="DragonLancer, post: 9504300, member: 11868"] Firstly, apologies if this is a topic that has been asked previously or covered somewhere on these here forums, but I've searched and found nothing. Hopefully though, you can shed some light on our query. So, in a couple weeks I start to run my first D&D campaign in 1 years (we skipped 4th and 5th for Pathfinder 1) and one of my players has decided on a Druid and he wants to make potions of healing for the group during downtime so they don't have to rely heavily on him as no one is going for a dedicated healer role. To help finance this at least at lower levels he wants to be able to sell some about the town where the party is based (Saltmarsh). Looking through how the PHB 2024 has it, the character spends 25gp (half the sale cost) on ingredients to brew said potion but despite buying from an NPC where it would cost you 50gp, he can only sell it for half that thus only covering his costs, which seems odd. The player in question is a long time player of mine and I know he's not out to create some infinite gold production but outside of me saying as DM that he can sell a few and get 50gp, it doesn't seem that PC crafting under the rules makes any money. Are we just missing something here? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
