[QUOTE="Trepelano, post: 689870, member: 6473"] Here is how I do it: I keep up with minor material components in generic "component points". A spell component pouch comes with 50 component points and additional points cost 1sp each. Any spell that requires a minor material componet expends an number of component points equal to its spell level. Its not exactly realistic, but then neither is the hit point system. It sure is easier to keep up with. Since I don't have a lot of magic componet shops in my campaign (although there are a few), I allow them to make a gather information check, and their roll represents the maximum number of component points they can purchase in an hour of searching. This assumes a large city. Smaller urban areas would have a circumstance penalty assigned to the roll. Its never come up, but if a wizard tried to gather his own components in the wilderness, I'd probably require a Wilderness Lore check, instead. This would represent an entire day's searching - and he would be required to keep these "natural component points" listed seperately. He could only spend these points if the material componet listed could be found in nature. [/QUOTE]
