James, a tangent about the above post.
I don't particularly like the use of silver/gold/diamonds as spell components as they are not renewable resources [as focus they work well].
Sure there are a lot of 5.000 gp diamonds in one world but I think that till the discovery of the African deposits they were really rare.I prefer the use of exotic oils and balms (like the myrrh) with the same cost. it give a good reasons to trade that kind of stuff.
What do you think? It add flavour or remove it?
As long as whatever you use costs the same... it doesn't matter. 5,000 gp of diamond is the same as 5,000 gp of exotic oils or 5,000 gp of puppies as far as the game rules care.
