Selling Loot


3.5/d20/OGL


I know that as a general rule selling loot nets the players half list price.

What I want to know is: In printed adventures (ala Dungeon) when loot has a listed price, is that sell price or the list price?

i.e. when the players sell a 'Foo (100gp)' do they get 100gp or 50gp?

Cheers

Don't know what a Foo is but art objects and gems and such all go for full price.

I saw somewhere that James comments that for the adventure paths that they assume you get full price for gems and items (say art pieces) and half price for magic items.

The relevant rules are on page 112 of the Player's Handbook, under "Selling Loot."

Fakey, "foo" is often used in programming examples to represent an unknown variable, such as the above:

foo = 100 gp;

It's handy when you can't come up with anything clever in your example, plus there's the added bonus of being able to put foo(bar) when you're trying to explain something. That and you can whip out with the Mr T impressions - "I pity the foo that has to instantiate this class!"

OP, Dungeon adventures usually list treasure in two ways: 1) named or generic items such as bracers of armor +x or Boccob's blessed book, for example. These items go through the usual half price selling process; 2) items that have a gp value listed such as a golden statue or a gem-encrusted drinking mug.

In the case of #2, what has been listed as the value is exactly what it's worth on the open market.

Thank you. I will try harder to pretend to understand more in the future.

P.S. I love it when you call me "Fakey";P


Thanks all. I thought this was the case but wanted to make sure.
