[QUOTE="stav1369, post: 7630896, member: 6999446"] I kind of disagree about official modules/campaigns not being rules (b/c they are created by official developers which translates to Intention of rules in DMG PHB XTGE etc) but the beauty of the game is it prob does not matter b/c its all DM discretion anyway so both our opinions are valid in that context. I treat them like Errata. Kind of like many players/DMs refer to Sage advice to get the intent of rules from official developers. Imo the way I run my games as DM is I draw from the modues/campaign and use them as precedence for my rulings. So for "magic stores" I have the following methedology.

(maybe 6-12 stores in total depending on size of city/metropolis) Rare and above magic items are typicaly not for sale at magic stores (although adventurers may get lucky) as these are only available at Wizarding academies, Temples, Exclusive auctions and factions (Lords alliance, Harpers etc) and usually require services rather then currency to purchase. Magic stores may attract thieves and opportunists. Diffrent magic stores usually specialise in diffrent items. Potions, Spellscrolls (see above), weapons, jewlery or other utility items. They usually have herbalist and Alchemical services as well.
