I pointed out that unskilled labor is paid 2 silvers a day, the same as a poor life style. Coming at me with adventurer stats is meaningless, we aren't talking about adventurers. And, even if we were, living expenses for adventurers is far more flexible than that.And we aren't talking about player's expenses, so who cares?What? Not letting you bully me into ignoring the rules of the game?Which is why I didn't bring it up. You did.Yeah, CO2 exposure can kill you... by suffocation. Take a gander at some EPA and other sites on the dangers of fire extinguishers. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.epa.gov/snap/carbon-dioxide-fire-suppressant-examining-risks[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mvorganizing.org/is-it-bad-to-spray-someone-with-a-fire-extinguisher/[/URL]The only mention of temperature is in how they prevent fires, any health risks are from toxic chemicals or over-exposure to CO2 gases, which can cause people to suffocate or die from over-exposure to the gases. Not from it getting cold. Maybe you should do a little research.There is no lack of current rules. The prices are all listed. I will admit, there are no rules for tax rates, but that is something that is going to vary greatly depending on numerous factors, and so there isn't really a good reason to include it. But the rules do not provide any "NPC discount" and that is not because those rules are lacking, but because they are not intended.Ah yes, all those patriots willing to spend massive amounts of money to imprison a single man. Enough to be a state-run prison system. Well, since you can make up rich patriots, I'll make up rich people who want to be paid for their unique services that can't be compelled by force. Which is more historically supported I wonder? Rich people gleefully giving away their money, or rich people holding onto their money?How many of those levy soldiers were nobility? Oh wait, levies were peasants. And the work of a single peasant for a single day... probably wasn't worth thousands of ducats, like the single days work of a wizard absolutely is. So, I think your lack of knowledge of how wealth and classism works is showing.5e =/= Waterdeep. Also, small village where this is still all happening =/= waterdeep.To my knowledge this example of a jail cell has never once taken place in Kyrnn or Athas. You were the one who insisted it had to follow the real world medieval logic because otherwise "what is the point" (you even had a discussion about it with Faolynm involving mentioning your daughter) Now, if you want to claim that you can switch into or out of any possible setting because at some point in the thread it was mentioned, even though it was never brought up in the context of this example... well, I wouldn't be surprised. you've moved the goal posts so much they might as well be in the Indy 500.Uh huh, sure, because again just throwing exorbitant amounts of money at a problem is standard.The prices of things are standarized and set out.  I don't care that you don't like it and feel like you should be able to ignore those numbers because they are inconvenient.</blockquote>
