(Edit:Also, The Game)If for some reason you want to reason it, tell him that 10 ft poles are special adventuring gear...they have specific properties, which a broken ladder wouldn't have. But if they insist to do so, they can always roll a craft/profession check to see how many ladders they can turn into 10 ft poles. In a real economy, 99% of the ppl would buy ladders not 10 ft poles. If someone has a shop that sells ladders and 10 ft poles, he would put the prices following the fact that he has -one 10ft pole that only guys with much money want, -and many ladders, which ppl with few money wantSo if you think you can buy every ladder in the village....you are correct.If you think the villagers are stupid enough to buy 10 ft poles, which are used only by adventurers....you are wrong. You will have to wait for many adventuring parties to buy from you.So yeah, I would let my players start with broken ladders instead of weapons, if they want to try breaking the economy.</blockquote>
