Hi,

What differences between these prices you usually use in campaign? And official suggestions? I only found in PHB that gems selling price 20% lower than market price.

Thanks

I generally use 0–30% of the listed sale price for captured weapons and armor (depending on the quality; orc crap is worthless). For other trade goods, I usually offer the PCs 50–60%, modified by the Charisma reaction adjustment.

How you modify costs by the Charisma reaction adjustment? Just by increasing your 50-60% by this modifier?

A very nice touch, David! I'll have to remember that one :D

I base prices on comic books. Since they cost 0.60 in 1980 and now cost $3.00, that's a five-fold increase in price. Thus, all prices in the PH should be increased by 500%.

That dagger that cost 2gp now costs 10gp.
The long sword now costs 75gp.
Chainmail now costs 525gp, and finally...
A suit of Plate mail now costs 2000gp!

OK, I don't do this...but I should!!!

Actually, all PH prices should be divided by 10, and treasure cut down appropriately. Then you don't have the Oerth being made up 5% platinum, 10% gold, 15% electrum, 20% silver, 25% copper, and 25% of all other base metals/elements. Laughing
