[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8253056, member: 6801228"] That is a gross mischaracterization of what I'm talking about. It took the rules for selling a thing, and I acted as though I was selling that thing. There was no inverse of the math, just a change from who was receiving the money. You might as well tell me I did something wrong because I took the damage from a longsword against an NPC and applied that same damage to a player. Really? So... how do stores sell things if it is impossible for people to sell things for the same price of the store is selling them for? Do they operate under different physics? Are there not humans who are selling things at stores? What you are really talking about is that you, person in your basement, can't match the efficiency and infrastructure of a major distributor. And, there is nothing like that in DnD worlds. There is nothing at all listed for saying that spellcasters are part of a major, global organization that allows them to charge more or less for services. In fact, generally in DnD it is presented as... a single guy, possibly in their basement. Exactly the situation you are saying can't work. And all of this is just attempts to say "No, you can't make that money, I can't allow it." But again, no one is telling me why. Why are you so terrified of PCs making significant money during downtime? What harm is this doing to the game? Why do you think we can't have an adventure if we happen to be wealthy? [/QUOTE]
