[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7322336, member: 6895991"] [MENTION=6801060]Demetrios1453[/MENTION] #8 Yes, almost any discrepancy like str20 halflings etc. can be easily explained when a Need for that arises. But just altering gold to silver is far easier, as the RAW does not even mention this discrepancy. Making up precious metal Inflation by magic dwarves mining the elemental planes is far more of a houseruling than just renaming a thing and using the official material because you lazy, and suddenly every price in the PHB gets much more realistic (Of course change silver to copper also) Now suddenly a trove filled with Gold is a real treasure, one you can buy a castle and a ship for, instead of only 3 new nonmagic weapons and suits of armor plus a few pints at the local drinking place. Now you also do not have to make up things for encumbrance: How tiny are the 100000 Gold coins you cary around? Even if they are just 1 gram per coin (this is abou a penny in size) then you are carrying 100 kg (200 Pounds) of Gold around. Imagine you want to buy swords for an army, lets take two handed swords, each IRL weighs about 6 Pounds lets say they are 100gold each (no Access to PHB atm so i make this up but it is about right) so you can buy 1000. You just traded in 100 grams of Gold for 6 Pounds of steel. In modern life 100 grams of Gold should buy you steel worth 10000 $ that is about 20 tons. Even Asuming half of it is the Labor and lets say medieval stell is worth 10 times modern steel how realistic is that all? [/QUOTE]
