[QUOTE="Azure Trance, post: 528943, member: 372"] Derrr ... I just realized that a few minutes ago to. Teaches me for posting late at night, I'll tell you that. Whoopsie. Em ... my mind might be foggy (wrote a term paper last night, started another this morning), but about those CHA examples ... I have the sense that you're doing it one way, but me another. I'm confused since you used a PC sell for 100gp merchant buy for 50gp, which should be a CHA 10 PC, and then haggle them up using examples of two different CHA (7.5, 15). Am I mistaken in that instead all bids start out with the (merchant) buying it for 50% and THEN the PC's CHA is factored in? The way I thought - all are using 100gp items (assuming appraise for both parties was 100% accurate, random beast it is), but the one with [b]CHA 7.5[/b] would have a 66.67 margin, split into the (merchant) buying for 66.67 (66.67/2 = 33.33. 100-33.33=66.67) and the PC's selling for 100. Assuming I'm still doing this procedure correctly still, the [b]CHA15[/b] PC would have the (merchant) buy (500/15 = 33.33. 33.33/2=16.67. 100-16.67=83.33) the 100gp item at 83.33gp.
