You and your party defeat a bunch of Shadar-Kai, and among the loot you find a +3 longsword.Now, you can either:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Keep both, which means you have a +2 sword and a +3 sword, or</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sell the old sword, leaving you with a +3 sword and 360 gp.</li> </ul>Which is most useful to you?In 3e, the total value a community has of any good is equal to the community's gp limit times the population divided by 20.So, let's say you have a village of 500 people (gp limit 200). Together, they have (500*200/20) 5,000 gp worth of any one good. One chicken is worth 2 cp, or 0.02 gp. That means that in this 500-people village, there are (5,000/0.02) 250,000 chickens.So it's not like 3e economy made much sense either.</blockquote>
