[QUOTE="bganon, post: 6413977, member: 60886"] HD and hp recovery normally require short or long rests, they are not at all substitutes for a potion and I wouldn't expect the pricing of a potion to have anything to do with the cost of rest (other than being much higher). A closer substitute might be bringing a spellcaster along with you; if a real economy is present the potion cost would be compared to how much loot you'd have to share with the new party member per cure wounds casting. Another basis for comparison might be to work out the odds of a potion being the difference between life or death, and multiply by the cost of resurrection. For both cases, 50 gp doesn't seem an unreasonable ballpark figure. But honestly, it seems that in the default 5e setting there is [b]no[/b] magic item economy - everything is rare enough that truly fungible alternatives just don't exist. You either find something yourself or the "price" depends mostly on the individual whim of the seller. [/QUOTE]
