[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 3290787, member: 12460"] Well, in my case, I am running a campaign where the PCs are not just dirty adventurers. They are celebrities in the City of Greyhawk, one of them is a dwarven noble, and another is an agent of the archmage Tenser. They are 13th and 14th level so this is not really out of line for their level. But at the same time, I do not think they should be able to purchase just any magic item they wish, given the money. Lately they've been spending a lot of money on resurrections, but if they hadn't, they would have a lot of liquid assets and would be considering it. Currently I use a suggestion from Dragon magazine, that the store Maldin and Elenderi's sells scrolls and potions and can special order other magic items at a 20% mark-up. It takes 1d4 days for a minor item, 1d6+1 days for a medium item, and 1d8+3 days for a major item. Maldin and Elenderi have contacts throught the Flanaess so this is somewhat reasonable. They require payment up-front and there are no returns, exchanges, or refunds. But it still doesn't strike me as entirely tenable. It is a workable solution for now, but I feel it is lacking. And besides that, I have no simple and effective way to let the PCs browse. [/QUOTE]
