=====Shopping=====

__Purchase haggling:__  roll d20 WIS and d20 CHA checks: if you succeed at both; pay 75% of list; if you fail both; pay double, if you succeed at only 1, pay list.

__Day-trip list purchases__:  for buying a list of low-cost items, a character can buy all of them in a single day's shopping (subject to a max. price depending on where the shopping takes place --e.g. 75gp in the Bazaar, 35gp in Portburg).   Note, if you are buying in bulk, the price maximum is for all items of the same kind, e.g., YOu could buy a maximum of 3 Two-handed swords in the Bazaar in one day (20gpx3=60gp, less than 75).  If you want to buy in bulk, you have to find a source/manufacturer.
