So, I'm kinda playing with ideas, having looked through Castles and Crusades, and again through Palladium Fantasy, and I thought of an alternate way of handling masterwork weapons and armor:
Instead of a flat cost for making things "masterwork" (which I have never liked), instead make the current, listed GP price into a percentage increase.
MW longsword isn't 315gp, it's 60gp... a 300% increase.
MW leather isn't 155gp, it's 7gp, 5 silver... a 150% increase.
This does have the side effect of making such things FAR more common... but also solves one of my big beefs, which is that the cost difference between Full Plate and MW Full Plate is a mere 10%.
