[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 2949337, member: 24969"] They can come play under me. I prefer PCs with initiative. As far as economics goes, D&D is not any worse off than most modern games out there. Traveller being the only one that attempts to deal with anything beyond an equipment list with standard prices that I can think of. As far as any buying any items, unless there is a large market, it must be manufactured in the town to be bought no matter what. In the case of magic items, it's pretty easy to figure out the spell casters in town and figure if they have the feats to make the items. If not, you must look around or go to a large city. Looking around involves making Gather Information checks to find somebody with an item you have or who wants to buy what you're selling. Once found, it's role played. In the large city, you've got more spell users to create more items of higher level. Some exist just to do that so many lower level items such as potions and scroll become almost trivial to find. There are two wizard colleges that do most of the buying, selling, trading and brokering of magic items. You must travel to one of them (or send and agent) and then I'll determine the availablity and who has it or can make it and then everything will be role played out. Should that not work, if you go west to the edge of human lands where the Horse Lords live and then travel another three weeks into the wilderness along certain trails that lead south of the Goblin Republic, you'll come to Murkin Sallik, a monsterous trade city run by a lich. Here, evil clerics come to sell their stolen goods, orcs to trade slaves and plunder for weapons, and the drow to trade with the surface. Most things can be found here or aquired for you if you can pay the right price. If the object of your dreams cannot be found, then for a price the lich will make it for you. It may cost many times listed price or things other than money, but he can make it and will, if only to alleviate his boredom for a bit. [/QUOTE]
