[APG] No dice?! PLAY the "YOU DECIDE THE COST" game !!!!

[admin]

I added THIS post on Paizo's Forum to help me out figure the cost of various dice - you are welcome to add your evaluation! Once I get a good idea, I'll add these in the Sheet

*UPDATE*

So far, we have:

3x Participants: Thokk the Ruleslaywer, Carbon D. Metric, Duniagdra DaaMyour

A) Made of WOOD (average quality): 3, 2, 4 Copper pieces
B) Made of WOOD (superior quality): 2, 5, 1 Silver pieces
C) Made of IVORY (superior quality): 5, 20, 1 Gold pieces
D) Made of SILVER (superior quality): 30, 5, 0.4 Gold pieces

Analysis: Seems that people agree that average two die made of wood, is just a few coppers, while a well balanced pair would be in the Silver pieces.

The disparity increases with the Ivory & Silver dice though: Ivory is a hard substance to work with and probably requires much patience. (check Ivory on the Wikipedia here)

Silver would require metallurgy skills to melt the metal. You could either make a Mold, where you'd pour liquid silver in to make the die - OR, build the die from a blob of silver, which is a malleable metal. This would require much skills to build a perfect cube shape. (check Silver on the Wikipedia here)

So which of these two materials are harded to work into a small cube? It seems our participants do not agree on this!

Any more propositions?

and depending on the magic level in the world, if magic is so common as to have every little ma 'n pa corner store selling fireball scrolls and such, then you could actually have somebody making a living at constructing dice with a shape wood, shape metal spell, or heck, even a stone-shape spell, and they could (in theory) get a much more precise shape that way, than if you tried to make one carving it out of a block of wood, or melting metal into a mold (that you had to carve out by hand...) depending on your concentration on a "perfect" cube that is... if you mess up your concentration, then it's lop-sided,off-center, etc...
