[QUOTE="Henry, post: 6545367, member: 158"] I'll even go so far as to say there WILL be magic item sales,just using our own world as an example, in a burgeoning black market if nothing else. No magic emporiums, mind you, but magic could be highly illegal, and you'd still find a few dozen items with a local dealer if you have the streetwise know-how to ask. Just as on the real world you can probably find SLAVES for sale in any major city if you know where to look, and certainly things like Heroin, or fully automatic rifles, in a fantasy setting, if magic items exist, and sentients want to buy them, you WILL find something for sale, if the DM decides he wants a "realistic" world. Me, I'd have as much fun or more forcing people who want to buy magic items to deal with shady underworld types and getting involved with the fringes of the law. :) Thanks to those magic item tables, i'd just roll up a half dozen items per city or town and set prices by rarity just to say there's something to buy. So every month the roster cha ges if the PCs are based in one city, or if they move a lot then just start trading items between city lists, to represent commerce, and delete and add a few to change it up. [i]"Whaddaya mean that wand of fire is in Scornubel now?? Pick up, ladies and gents, we leave tomorrow! Since we took out that ogre cave and split the hoard, I want my chance at that thing before it winds up in the Cormyrean markets!"[/i] [/QUOTE]
