Please please please use common sense when selling things to merchants, particularly job system items. Aside from in Tarkuul, I'm pretty sure no merchant is going to buy mummified corpses from you, so don't sell stuff like that to the merchants. I've seen that three different times now in Cordor.

Because it's common (censored) sense. Why are you selling mummified corpses to a guy in public?

Well, good for you I just told you in this topic you should not be selling dead bodies, in public, in Cordor. Now you can stop, both selling bodies and arguing senselessly. I shouldn't HAVE to tell you not to do thjis

much like I shouldn't need to tell you that murder Is A Bad Thing. Common Sense.

Hilrash has always been human

Actually its common sense for our day and age in RL but not in the setting your speaking about now. A mummified corpse would be a boon for any merchant, a advertising play even for them, make up a story of who or what the mummy is and cash in on all the people coming to see it. I am sorry but saying use common sense is only correct if you try and use real life sense instead of a fantasy games sense.

I agree with OP and will definitely start thinking more about what I will and will not sell to NPCs.

Sorry Tormak, you are incorrect in saying its common sense. It’s a fantasy game where actual common sense on allot of issues goes out the window.

No, you're incorrect. Sorry.

And to Yurell telling me not to dictate the rules, I did say please, and this was a request. I was in no way shape or form trying to order people to do what I felt was right, I was just irritated and asking people to exercise a little common sense.

You said to use common sense. What is common sense in this case? Common sense shows that mummies in Egypt were often used for as shows, being unwrapped for tourists and as fuel for trains. Common sense can mean any number of things.

Hilrash is an upstanding human merchant of the Commonwealth and does not traffic on bodies and corpses. No merchant in Cordor does save 1.

In old times, you could damn well expect to be stopped by guards in a city for trying to sell corpses. Not to mention, I doubt most highly reputable merchants of the time would risk their reputation by trafficking corpses.

NPC's are pretty much the equivalent of creme de la creme merchants on Amia. Sell your corpses in Tarkuul. Or how about actually doing things the way the job systems intends? Whats the point in selling it to a merchant who'll only give you 1 gp anyway?

Why would people charge for folk remedies when they can get free and complete healing at their local temple.

It's far more cool to RP some complicated remedies and healing rituals, than it is to dip your head into a pool of water and have it all magically removed. Might even get you some XP or DCs as reward!

A bit out of context: "common sense" is subjective, I had none of this Amia common sense when I first started out. It came with experience and guidance.

How about, do what the DM says.

We aren't contesting that, Dwagin - DM says don't sell corpses in Cordor then you bloody well don't sell corpses in Cordor. What I'm disagreeing with is being insulted for not using Common Sense despite having done so and arisen at a different conclusion. Common Sense is subjective, not objective. An order to not sell corpses in Cordor is objective - it's the same for every observer without room for interpretation.

It all boils down to if you're not fine with merchants buying everything and anything create firmer rules as to what they can and can't buy - don't just say 'use common sense' and then be upset when someone else's common sense is different to your own.
