[QUOTE="Vespucci, post: 5581095, member: 6675688"] It looks suspiciously like a typo. If I circulated something like that to my players, and they came back with this zany scheme, my short reply would be, "Sorry guys, that's 5 [I]silver[/I] for the ladder"... ...which means I'm a dick. :cool: It's cool, lots of people say that about my unwillingness to grant the WotC logo a kind of special status in 3.X games. Seriously, though, if you pay this kind of attention to detail with your own work, you won't get 'unbalanced' results. And anyway, D&D is a game about adventure and exploration, not poring over equipment lists to find a way for characters to get easy money. What does hack-and-slash have to do with this? I will admit to having dismissed your concerns over data for accurate pricing, and take it that I'm being accused of being a role-playing primitive for having such an attitude. If that's where you were going, my reply is two words. And it's not "home brew". Look, I understand your frustration, but discussion forums are generally bad for what you're trying to do. You get lots of [I]opinion[/I] out of them, but not a lot of [I]data[/I] - unless you want data on what various groups of netizens think. I recommend [I]searching[/I] the forum for posts on this sort of topic (someone else may have posted it in a, "here you go!" type thread), and using the forum for bug-checking. Plenty of people on here are prepared to go over new material and give feedback, often of a high quality. [/QUOTE]
