[QUOTE="smetzger, post: 8256947, member: 1230"] 1) I think having prices is a good thing. Purpose of the DMG and books is to aid the DM with running a game. It is very difficult to price magic items. If you ever want to trade, make, sell, or buy magic items in a game having suggested prices is a help to the DM. 2) Suggested guidance on how to use the prices would also be good. With explanation of the consequences of the different choices. 3) If some people want a lighter less immersive game that includes magic shops this is not 'bad, wrong, fun'. 4) If some people want magic items to be completely mysterious, never allow a PC to know how to make one, and they are never for sale. That also is not 'bad, wrong, fun'. It seems this thread is not for this type of game. 5) If some people want a game that is somewhere in-between #3 and #4 that also is not 'bad, wrong, fun'. I would like to see more discussion of #2 and less discussion of how magic item costs is not a good thing for the game. [/QUOTE]
