[PnP] pnp Digest, Vol 121, Issue 3

[David Sanders]

Keep in mind that it's an overly simplistic method that does not take into account the situational conditions.  For instance, a talisman that fires EL10 Fire Darts is pretty useless to a farmer...since it needs a magic user to operate it.  Also, value depends on rarity.   If everybody in town has been shopping at the local magic shop, well, things might be cheap.  Also, other magic users might not want to part with their gold if they can make such an object themselves.

What it does well, IMO, is give relative value...so if you have a certain level of wealth you want maintained in your game you can use the formulas for balance.

A magic user could quickly become very wealthy using the formula.
