[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6656308, member: 22779"] I understand that your prices are radically different Saidoro. Fair enough. That wasn't my question. My question was do you honestly think, considering that the 5e prices right now, more or less follow 3e pricing, WOTC would come up with the same pricing that you do? Really? I have my doubts. I think that if they did actually bring out a price list, it would look suspiciously like 3e (with a bit of 4e tacked on) and you'd still be very unhappy. I mean, you talk about the Dagger of Venom. 5e Dagger of Venom carries the Poisoned rider for one minute - disadvantage on attacks and checks. The 3e version deals temporary Con damage, an expression that doesn't carry over. Again, not seeing the huge difference. DR2 for Adamantine armour or Negates Crits in 5e seems pretty much on par. And doesn't negate the Heavy Armor Specialization feat. Cool. And Vicious does "an order of magnitude" more damage? Bit hyperbolic no? In 3e, Vicious deals 2d6 damage with a d6 to the user. In 5e it deals 7 extra damage on a crit. Seems pretty on par to me. But, hey, like I said, I don't see the problem here. I think you're picking nits and trying to make things a lot more complicated than they need to be. I like to keep things simple. For me, the simplest answer would be to use the 3e SRD prices. For the majority of items in the DMG, the prices are a bit higher than 5e, but, again, if you're buying these things, and giving away money like water, that's probably a good thing. Me, I'm in a 5e Dragonlance game right now and we're 8th level. Our biggest haul was recently with 3000 gp for each PC. Before that, I think no one had seen more than 500 gp at one time. We've managed to buy a grand total of 2 uncommon items for any one PC. I prefer a setting where every random lizard man doesn't carry rubies. Where you actually have to adventure a long time to make a living. The whole 3e thing where you had thousands of gp in personal wealth by 7th level never made much sense to me. Why am I continuing to adventure? I've got enough personal wealth to retire, so, why am I not retiring? Someone earlier mentioned how Horde gave so little treasure. To me, that's the way it should be. [/QUOTE]
