[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 5136801, member: 18253"] Without knowing your setting economics, I'd give the price in relative terms. First off a true courtesan, whose services include art, conversation and much more beyond the physical, isn't cheap to start with, something only the rich can afford with any regularity. A succubus courtesan might be one of the more exotic. How exotic would determine the cost multiplier. In Sigil, they may not be very uncommon so maybe they run 1.5x to 5x. In other settings, they could be the only one in all the land and run 10x, 20x or more. I'd put a courtesan around 5 to 20 times the price of a prostitute at a "respectable" establishment, partly because the engagement might be longer. You could try to price it with respect to the cost on earth of a hotel room, and various levels of female accompaniment all the way to a very exclusive call girl but, alas, I don't have those numbers handy. Since your players aren't likely to thoroughly sample the demi-monde economics, though, just pick a big number that is noticable to a well off PC. That ought to be good enough :p [/QUOTE]
