Hi hilander, I have another question. The merchant's ability "apprise" let him know the exact price of an item. Does it means that a non merchant character can't tell the price of an item?
Great Question!
I counter: Do you know the exact price of all items on the real world?
An adventurer can likely estimate the rough value of an item, but a merchant would know down to the copper the value of every item in a dragon's hoard, and know what to keep vs. what to leave behind, if it came down to it.
