I have a problem. My friend has a huge collection of Dragon magazines. He started collecting it when 3.0 edition came out. So it starts with number 270+something.
I'm pretty sure I seen some Appraise rules where Appraise has categories like Knowledge skill does. (Making this out: arms and weapons, livestock, gems, artwork etc.) Problem is I don't recall in which Dragon magazine i read it and can't found it now. Does someone know what I'm talking about; because I am sure I didn't imagine this.
Now to not make this total waste of your time, and to stay on topic:
I find Pathfinder Appraise DC way to low so I tried this approach
Appraise (Int, trained)
0 gp – 50 gp DC 5
51 gp – 100 gp DC 10
101 gp – 500 gp DC 15
501 gp – 1,000 gp DC 20
1,001 gp – 5,000 gp DC 25
5,001 gp – 10,000 gp DC 30
10,001 gp+ DC 35+
You can appraise common or well-known objects with a DC 5 or 10 Appraise check.
Without actual training, you know only to appraise common and well-known non-magical objects (DC 10 or lower).
Your thoughts?
