Apr 25, 2006 20:48:28 OK a weapon coming outa the phb is not an athesian weapon therefor it costs less considering its not metal .So how do i figure how much a bone long sword would be? Next crafting magic items would use the same formulas as in the dms guide only convert the gp into cp im assuming? And last how about random loot off mobs? how do i calculate that?
OH and on the funny side i need your opinions on this.......... Yesterday i randomly rolled a 10lbs golden idol as random loot off of a CR6 mob that was killed by one of my pcs. 1 lbs of gold in athas is worth 50GP 10 lbs = 500gp =50000 cp u think i should let a cr5 have that kinda money? any help would b appreciated thanks guys in advance.

Just convert gold to ceramic. A longsword normally costs 15gp, one made out of stone, obsidian, or bone costs 15cp. Yes, just convert the gp. price of magic items into cp. On the last one you just have to use a little creativity. There are several ways you could handle it.

1. Have it made out a different material (A porcelin, copper, or obsidian idol perhaps)
2. Have it be much smaller, hollow, or simply gold plated. (A tiny gold figurine, or a wooden idol coated in gold)
3. Reroll until you get something that makes sense.

Just like its not rouge but rogue, its not viola but voila! ;)

And you indeed convert all gp values to Cp. Its all spelled out in DS3, including a nice conversion table for the other currencies (pp, sp, etc). Enjoy the game.
