Careful selection of equipment ?? supplies for characters is very important.
Often there will not be sufficient funds to purchase everything desired, so intelligent choices will have to be made.
Also, the choice of equipment should always be done with respect to encumbrance (see MOVEMENT) restrictions.

In many campaigns it is necessary for the characters to SHOP in a # of places in order to obtain everything they desire.
A few games will have a trader’s establishment in which everything, or nearly everything, can be found, but the average costs will be higher because these traders are middle-men.

As in most dealings, the buyer should always beware.
Things may be as they appear or they might be otherwise. . .

A list of goods typically desired by characters follows.

    Q: The rules say that fighters can get
    their strength bonuses with special
    bows. What kind of bows apply, and
    how much do they cost?

    A: This is up to the DM, but we suggest
    that you require a composite bow. One
    local campaign figures the cost of such
    special bows using the base cost for the
    bow plus an additional and equal cost per
    bonus point of damage. Thus, getting the
    +1 hp damage for a 16 strength requires
    a bow of twice-normal cost, a +3 (for 18/
    01 strength) is triple-normal cost, etc.
    Another version of this type of bow is
    described in DRAGON issue #127, page 27.

    Q. What does a quarterstaff cost? Its
    price is not given in the Players
    Handbook.
    A. A quarterstaff is one of the simplest
    weapons in the world -- not much
    more than a 6' length of
    hardwood, such as ash. Consequently
    we think its price would be no more
    than 2 sp. The only simpler weapon
    we can think of is a rock -- and they
    are free!

Hey Gary, here's a topic we've been tossing around. This isn't so much a "rules" question as it is a "flavor" question. With regard to clerical holy symbols, in the Players Handbook you listed iron, silver, and wooden symbols. Was there an in-game reason for a PC to shell out the 50 gp for a shiny silver symbol over, say, a nice cheap wooden one? Personally, I've set up my priesthoods such that different deities prefer different materials (wooden for a nature god like Beory, iron for a metalworking god like Bleredd, and even more elaborate materials — such as gold or jade — for others). Was this your thinking (unlikely, given my track record :lol: ), or did you have some other rationale for the different materials?

The materials mentioned are all inimical to cerious sorts of evil creatures according to myth and legend.
Silver is supposedly a poison to were creatures and evil spirits, iron to many demons and enchanted creatures (including evil elves), and wood to some demons and to vampires, of course.
That, coupled with the power of good imbued into a holy symbol make them potent in two ways.

Cheers,
Gary
