Hi, I'm new to FG! Not really, I suppose - I played on FG about 15 or 20 years ago, but I'm effectively new. I suspect that my question is answered somewhere already, but I haven't been able to find it by searching forums, so my apologies if I'm asking a question that's already been covered, and I respectfully request a redirect.
I purchased the Standard License. I'm trying to build a campaign, and I believe that the first step is to load sources. When I attempt to load the DMG, PHB and MM, it appears as if I need to now purchase those, separately. Did I just pay $40 for a game that now needs another $30 or so for every source book I want to utilize?...
I was looking at some of the items' prices in the DMG- specifically the +1 and +2 shield. Per the FG DMG. A +1 shield (Uncommon) is listed at 112gp and a +2 shield (Rare) is listed as 838gp. If my memory is correct, in the PHB or DMG it says that rare items have a minimum of 5000gp in value. Another issue is the Adamantine Plate Armor. It is listed as 807gp, and it is considered uncommon. The regular plate is listed as 1500gp in the PHB.
Where do these prices come from and should they be considered official since they are listed in the licensed content? Or, should these prices be fixed to align with the posted price ranged?
