Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:46 pm Cost of Vehicles

The Player's Handbook gives a basic list of the cost for vehicles (mainly boats), but nowhere have I seen a list of the cost for wagons, carts, and the like. I need to know. Can somebody give me a reference guide/source and a list of these prices (just in case I don't have said reference), please?!

In my last session, the characters had to buy a vehicle to transport their dead, and I had to 'wing it' on price.

appreciatively,

Really weird that they put the cost of wagon/cart wheel in there, but no cost for a wagon/cart to begin with. Seems like an oversight. So, go with the 1e prices, those being 150 g.p. and 50 g.p. respectively.

that is weird. the common carriage is listed at 150gp. A riding chariot is 200 gp.
The curragh is 500gp but i have no idea what that is.
the sedan chair is 100 gp.

If a character had carpentry as a secondary skill could they build a wagon? engineering?

DOH! (slaps forehead) Embarassed

Yes, of course, I totally forgot to even check the 1e PH! This gives me the information I needed, and I did indeed overcharge my poor character. Will have to rectify that. Confused

thanks, fellas! Happy

My players are Great Kingdom nobles and always have a ton of gold, so I pretty much just wing prices all the time to keep them upper class, rather than ungodly wealthy.

My campaign consists of alot of ship use and ship weaponry, all of which are immensely expensive as it compares to normal PHB pricing. I generally use Spelljammer prices in preference over PHB ones.

Really, if a player wants to amass a large amount of gold it is not all that hard to become extremely wealthy given the loot most Greyhawk modules put out. I myself had amassed over 1,000,000 GP on my 12th level fighter years ago when I played, rather than DMd. Just need to be conscious of your monetary gains and losses. Built one hell of a keep. Cool

I've found this website really helpful for finding out those random purchases players insist on buying (and the less random ones that didn't make it into the rule book!)

Thanks for that link, Wolfling! Very helpful and also expansive.
