Haggle
Determining how much something is worth is one feature of this skill, but Haggle is primarily used to get better prices when buying or selling goods. Typically, goods are sold to NPCs for half their purchase price. An 862 gp +1 sword, for example, would normally sell for 431 gp. Some merchants will still haggle to get a better deal. Once the total value of a lot is determined, roll Haggle to negotiate the price. Haggle is opposed by Haggle and is heavily affected by disposition. Subtract your opponent's roll from your own and compare the result to the chart below for the price modifier.
| Roll Difference | Sell Price modifier |
|---|---|
| Lower than -16 | 15% value of goods |
| -15 | 25% Value of goods |
| -10 | 35% Value of goods |
| -5 to 5 | 50% value of goods |
| 10 | 65% value of goods |
| 15 | 75% value of goods |
| 16+ | 85% value of goods |
Haggling, of course, isn't limited to the selling of items to a merchant. The buying of goods and services can be haggled and negotiated too. Below is the chart used for procuring goods.

| -15 | 105% Value of goods |
| -8 to 8 | 100% value of goods |
| 15 | 95% value of goods |
