[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8809620, member: 11760"] I mean, and I think you know that I mean, that ENWorld doesn't have other discussions derailed by "OMG THERE ARE TAXES" when there are explicitly taxes in pretty much every setting. You all are running some D&D games that would never occur to me, but this is good grist for the next time someone claims that D&D getting political is a new thing. Of course, that's not what the book actually says. Again, here is the section entitled "Taxes & Taxation" in its entirety: Could and probably should the authors have included more detail on what the standard fee is? Yep. But they were so limited on space that they had a [I]day one[/I] DMs Guild PDF expanding the book (all of it on the other settings visited in the campaign, not the citadel itself, apparently based on the interest of each individual author). But the idea that the guards are playing "guess a number" is one that's been invented on this thread. With other settings, we can concede that "yep, that's underwritten." (Strixhaven is underwritten, not magically lacking in things.) Let the DM set whatever makes sense for the game. If it were me (and it's about to be, next month), I'd say 10 gold for admittance is a reasonable fee for people seeking refuge from the Ethereal Plane. It's a real amount of money according to the PHB and DMG, but nothing experienced adventurers would care about. And for those who object, there's always Leomund's Tiny Hut out in the Ethereal.
