=====Economics in D&D=====
====Travel expenses====
See also [[travel]]

Inns and taverns pop up along the road, with
  * meals costing **d20 copper** pieces 
  * lodging costing **d20 silver** pieces.


====Ship Leases====
Chartering a ship can cost between 10 and 50 gp. DM could roll:
  * d6 x10 gp to account for "markup", or
  * (d4 + Capt CHA) x10 gp

An NPC (such as [[:dnd:campaigns:waterdeep:npcs#Renaer]]) might hire the party and provide the ship themselves, most likely paying the party for their time
