Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vuron" data-source="post: 121165" data-attributes="member: 14">IMHO slaves would on average be less than a warhorse and more than a draft horse.In an underdark community the critical resources are food and water with the added complication of space. Assuming that you want kobolds and or goblins as your primary workforce (miners, fungi farmers, and cannonfodder) they need a decent source of food and water even if it is somewhat tainted by other sources before hand. However except for mindflayers and other low population density underdark dwellers eating goblins and kobolds would be unwise as raising them as cattle is inevitably a losing proposition considering the lack of food resources overall.I'd probably place an adult male goblin at 10-25 gp value with exceptional individuals maybe garnering 25-50. Greater Humanoids like orcs and bugbears would likely garner around 50-100 gp imho and ogres or giants far excess of that. I imagine that goblin tribes would even sell thier own members into bondage when food resources are less than what is required for the community to survive. Rare slaves with PC classes or unusual expertise would command premium prices and might be better protected than commoners of the enslaving race.</blockquote>
