[QUOTE="DWChancellor, post: 7855522, member: 96184"] TLDR - When I made magic item shops rare and their stock random according to RAW, I got a long way to what you're aiming it without much work. Yeah, this is how it played out in my game using everything as I described. "Magic item shops" aren't a normal thing in 5E (certainly not at level 8-10). I think a lot of reaction to the 5E economy is from not running it as written (especially by DM's more used to 3E's required multi-slot gear and 4E's item glut). YMMV. There were so few repeat items in shops - because I was using the random tables and because I kept the shop's and their stock rare - that I didn't need to mess around with prices much to give it the appearance of what you're describing. What I found is that the PCs had an reasonable time ensuring everyone had something magic to throw at resistant monsters, but that the really badass stuff either required a giant portion of their (collective) treasure or came out from random table rolls. Obviously as DM I exercised my right to fudge treasure hoards from time to time. [/QUOTE]
