Rules Questions


What if the pcs want to buy two of a magic item do I roll once and see if it is a success then roll another time to see if the quantity on the market is more than 1 and so on? It does say you only need to wait a week if you fail right. Does that mean they can buy another right away?

An old post, but I thought I'd reply anyway, in case you're still thinking about this.

By a strict interpretation of the rules, I would say yes, you roll again to see if there is another after they find one. However, I would personally reduce the percentage by a set amount (say, 15%) for each consecutive roll. Or, you could just cap the amount of a particular item that can be available at a given time. It really depends on how much "magic market syndrome" you are willing to accept in your game.
