[QUOTE="MonkeyBoy, post: 408375, member: 1229"] Currency. Forgot that. Its another thing that might not sit well with all... (I'm not using the Cumal, certainly...) In ascending order; chicken, pig, iron bar, Cumal. Cumal being a female slave - like I said, not to all tastes... Can't remember if there's a conversion to GP/SP/CP or not, there's an equipment list. Can't recall rules for barter... Why would you need rules; barter is exchange of dissimilar goods that the two parties agree are of similar value, without recourse to currency. So where do you need rules? --- Of more interest are the rules for naming weapons, a feat to allow creation of masterwork items (they count as low level magical items in this setting), rules for blunting and bending iron weapons in combat (including straightening them with your teeth!), rules for geases on characters (and advice for the DM on making the players violate their geases), rules for untimely shattering of flint weapons, and some of the best named feats in D20; how much more evocative than "a bit better cleave" is "sundered heads" or "piles of carcasses", a lot IMNSHO :D I'd go on, but I'd be in severe danger of just paraphrasing all the rules in the book, and that might cost mongoose sales; which this book richly deserves.
