[QUOTE="keterys, post: 4951839, member: 43019"] I think I'd be more tempted to do something like: Every place has a maximum item level of stuff it can sell (ex: City of Brass is much higher than Hommlet) and a +0 to +20 bonus for item availability. Assuming you're looking for an item that level or below, roll a d20, add the bonus, your DC is 10 + Lvl of the item. If you succeed then your item is in stock. If not, you may be able to get it commissioned, hire someone to track one down legally or illegally, etc - all options generally at a 10-40% markup, giving an additional +0 to +20 bonus on top of the previous one and allowing a new roll. Otherwise you can make a new roll in a location once per month. So I could know that Cauldron has max of level 15 items, gives a +5 bonus to rolls, and then list out a couple options for getting extra bonuses (say the local wizard can make up to level 5 items at a +20% premium, giving a +10 bonus (automaking it, the thieves guild charges 40% more if they find something and gives a +5 bonus, the local adventurer's shop only offers a +2 bonus but is only 10% extra and will waive that if you sold her something that month, etc) [/QUOTE]
