Prices of Metallic Items (SNS)

__TOC__
﻿Blacksmiths can make their own metals out of raw ore. This is time consuming, but they have to pay only about half the normal value of the resultant metal. It takes a blacksmith 1d6 weeks to reduce ore to basic metals.
Once the blacksmith has the metal, he can make any metallic items he wants (subject to any success with his Blacksmithing proficiency, of course). The total retail cost of an item includes the cost of materials (25%), the blacksmith's time and effort (50%), and the overall profit on the item (25%).
Merchants regularly sell weapons in many different kinds of stores. Armor, however, is a different story. The armorer must custom- fit the armor to the wearer, otherwise it may cause the wearer some problems in combat. Blacksmiths will usually charge an additional 5% of the armor's cost to cover the custom-fitting process.
