I don't have a lot of non-humans in my current campaign world but I was thinking something similar with having good variety based on different cultures. So these Northern lanterns are crude and heavy, you really want one made by Southern smiths, etc.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-77293820693961765222016-07-24T08:46:43.255-07:002016-07-24T08:46:43.255-07:00@Scott: Lol, 49 1/2 foot rope, extra heavy lantern...@Scott: Lol, 49 1/2 foot rope, extra heavy lanterns and such, might make using the chart worth it by themselves. And thank you, that means a lot to me.<br /><br />@subhuman: Of course, and sorry, I left it more abstract because I figure other DMs might use different Stat bonuses than me. In my game stats of 8 or less are below average and receive a minus. So, if a player was buying a formal dress and put a die roll of "1" on "fit" it wouldn't fit them unless they had both Str & Con of 8 or less. That makes ome of those pretty restrictive, but I was thinking most players would fit under the "or" entries, by dedicating a 2,4,6, o7 roll to the "Fit" column. Thanks.<br /><br />@Gaston's Hat: Well, my hope is that, if the game aspect of it is engaging, even not finding what you want will be fun for them. But you did make me think of an older campaign I had in the Shifting City of Nidus where it was hard to find anything. To allay frustration in failed attempts back then I would have players roll on a weird encounter chart each time. So I should probably do the same here-- even failure will result in seeing something odd or meeting an NPC. I'll do my best in sharing the price lists when finished.

I remember an old table in WD for non-human armour; maybe you find that the lantern you bought has an inconvenient handle because it was made for (tiny) Kobold or (giant) Gnoll hands (paws?). Perhaps Halflings measure rope differently to humans and what you thought was a standard measure turns out to be 41 feet instead of 50. Those 4 bundles of Orcish torches a) come in 5s not 6s, and b) produce a choking smoke that doesn't bother Orcs. That 10-pole is Troll-made, and is 50% more bulky than usual. Or it's sprite-made and will break if you roll your STR bonus or less on a d20.<br /><br />Red Orchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015582577046093985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-20685110147274416482016-07-24T07:19:05.740-07:002016-07-24T07:19:05.740-07:00Great!

On the other hand, I like getting them out of the notion that their is a 21st century shopping mall in which they can find anything they want whenever they want. <br /><br />I Hope you will tell us how it goes in a follow up post.<br /><br />Also, I'd be interested in seeing the items by materials listing.Gaston's Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153032266563901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-25781995968477789952016-07-23T18:09:24.478-07:002016-07-23T18:09:24.478-07:00I think I understand what the results on the Fit c...I think I understand what the results on the Fit column mean, but could you provide a little more detail or an example?<br /><br />I like the concept and the player's flexibility in interpreting the rolls.subhumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473278419449181642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-68193664947144001852016-07-23T18:08:51.338-07:002016-07-23T18:08:51.338-07:00Ah, the old 8 1/2 foot long 10' pole
