[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7555666, member: 6880599"] Oh yes... hand waved shopping!!! I forgot about that. My GM says almost every time… we can role play this if you really want to haggle but other wise its an X shop you can by x things at the PHB price. Magic items he changes, one time we got a magic ship run by Loki with a deck of many things, another time we role played a 2 weeks search for a guy who has 3 pre-roled items, a few times we found mage/artificer guilds that could craft requests at double cost Zanthar time frames, and another time he hand waved "you find what your looking for at some place, go through the DMG fine the item use the rarely cost table at max x1.5 … if you can't afford it or aren't sure they don't sell it to you, ether way they leave and you never see them again." When that happens its either awesome or... it cost how much!?!? down time is very much a GM mood thing. Does he have an idea that would make running that fun for him or does it sound boarding and he just waves "the result is X, next player" If your a player and just want that result it's awesome, if your a player and you wanted to roleplay that... your a bit let down, at the same time if the GM is not into it you will be just as disappointed at a half attempt to role play but will have wasted time for the party … so I am not really against this either. We don't really have much issue with the others. [/QUOTE]
