[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7856330, member: 29398"] How can you enforce this, though? If they decide they want to take the whole winter off and resume adventuring in the spring, are they not allowed to? Downtime isn't normally seen as a limited resource. :) And even beyond that, having prices vary that much is IMO just asking for trouble...never mind that if you're going to use ranges then realistically the selling-price range (or fixed amount!) should be the same as the buy-price range. Bigger headache: if the range for a +1 sword is 1000-6000, how much is it going to cost me to claim the one that's in the party treasury; and thus how much is that claim going to boost (or not) everyone else's share amount? Ah - maybe that's why some bits of the system made me wonder. I always assume, barring unusual circumstances, that the PCs have exactly as much downtime as they decide to take. Perhaps for some of those activities the time can be made malleable - you get what you get in however long it takes, and that's all you're gonna get this time around even if you immediately try again.
