Don't You Want To Haggle?

Crafters may be willing to lower their prices for an adept bargainer. To try to score a better deal, roll 1 20-sided die:

1-2: Well done! The crafter must have really taken a shine to you - they offer the item for half its listed price.
3-8: Not a bad bargain at all - they're willing to go as low as three-quarters of the item's listed price.
9-12: Maybe you gave them a funny look or something. They only knock one-fourth mark off. (For items less than one mark, only one-eighth mark is deducted.)
13-18: They stand firm. Listed price or nothing at all.
19-20: That little? For this workmanship? Your offer insults their craft - they won't sell.

You may make one haggling attempt per item.
