Equipment

Most games rely on the characters having the proper equipment along with the proper class and talents. Equipment varies by technology, magic, setting, and price.

Magic items can be crafted by characters who can cast magic and/or possess the proper feats. The skills used to craft magic items, unlike regular items, is Spellcraft. The DC for crafting the magic item will be listed in its page.

Coinage

Platinum, Gold, and Silver

These coins are used in the modern day, and are often referenced in the game when discussing prices. Platinum is usually only seen by nobility who wish to hold a great deal of currency on-hand at once. Gold is often held by merchants, or sometimes by regular townsfolk who have been saving up a good deal of money. Silver however is used by everyone and is often what people are paid with when working their jobs, and is the standard for the economy (hence most item costs being listed in Silver).

When pricing the largest denomination is used followed by a decimal for the smaller denominations. Thus, 180 Silver would be 1.8 Gold whereas 15,000 Silver would end up being 10.5 Platinum

Platinum

One Platinum Piece (PP) is equivalent to 100 Gold (or 5,000 EP, 10,000 Silver, 500,000 CP, or 5,000,000 BP)

Gold

One Gold Piece (GP) is equivalent to 100 Silver (or 0.01 PP, 50 EP, 2,500 CP, or 25,000 BP)

Silver

One Silver Piece (SP) is equivalent to a pair of clothes or simple meal for the day. (50 CP or 250 BP)

Electrum, Copper, and Bronze

Ancient currencies used in old societies, and are usually found in large amounts in old treasure stashes. Electrum is the only one of the three currencies with much value anymore, and is made of a combination of silver and gold. It used to serve a similar purpose to Platinum, however it wasn't nearly as rare as Platinum is now. Copper and Bronze serve a similar function to Silver today, being used by citizens often and people are usually paid in a combination of both currencies (often denoted as 5 C/ 2 B in ancient letters).

These are mostly kept for the sake of flavor, and as a way to show a society may be stuck in ancient ways (ex. a nation still uses Electrum despite the current year).

Electrum

One Electrum Piece (EP) is equivalent to 100 Copper (2 SP, 100 CP, or 500 BP)

Copper

One Copper Piece (CP) is equivalent to 5 Bronze.

Bronze

One Bronze Piece (BP) is equivalent to a simple meal back in the ancient times.
