Re: Draw Power and Lightning/Electricity
The economy is weak with this one. *points at self* So... Closer to $10000? I'd say that's pretty fair. Time to go steal one and turn it into a Powerstone! Haha.

Something else to look at is the relative price of goods in D&D. Using $50 per gp, a dagger or spear is $100, a handaxe is $300, a longsword is $750. These seem close enough to the GURPS values (considering the ahistoric nature of the D&D equipment list) that I'd call it fine. Then again, that gives a price of $10k for a breastplate, whereas a Heavy Plate Cuirass is just $4k in GURPS, so maybe most weapons are just priced low in D&D? All in all, if you want one of these enchanted stones to be equivalently priced in GURPS as it was in D&D, you're looking at something like $20k - $50k instead of $1000. I wouldn't have any problem with tossing out the D&D numbers though, and just pricing it based on what you feel it's worth. Last edited by vierasmarius; 09-01-2012 at 07:16 PM. |

I'll see if I can find prices for various commodities in D&D, to serve as a benchmark for evaluation. I suspect however that we'll find no logical connections in the pricing. |

Re: Draw Power and Lightning/Electricity
There's plenty of evidence for gold being grossly cheap in D&D. And yes, commodity prices in D&D are completely random.
