View Full Version : Buying Furniture

Alright, so, usually in a tabletop game, furniture and food and hotel rooms are all incredibly cheap. I think I've seen the most expensive lifestyle in a game add up to just over 100,000 gold for an entire year, and that's for an emperor. However, my current DM is building an even more extravagant society, where there is a city with streets literally paved with gold and you can get a furniture set that actually costs 1 million gold (baby dragon leather). Our group is living in this city, and my character is setting up a shop with some luxury accommodations. However, we only have 2 million gold to spend, so we need to find a midpoint between high luxury and what is actually set out in the rules of the game. I'm thinking something of a "quaint" environment.

So, to avoid a situation where we have to sit down and brainstorm materials and furniture items before diving into the game (he only has the high luxury items figured out, instead of the mid luxury), I was thinking of crowd sourcing it to you guys. What kinds of crazy & rare furniture could we come up with? Pillows stuffed with angel feathers? Bandersnatch fur rugs? Tables carved from a single block of Quartz?

A table made from the wood of some sort of rare, exotic tree. It is intricately carved with scenes of war and feasting. The edges are decorated with opals and diamonds which are enchanted to glow slightly

A bed stuffed with phoniex feathers, and the sheets are woven from sidhe hair

What about statues made by the finest Cockatrice "sculptors?" The detail is very lifelike, and they are the best at capturing the look of terror someone experiences right before death. The only expense is finding and catching a Cockatrice in the beginning and then the only challenge is finding "volunteers" to "inspire" the Cockatrice.:smalltongue:

What about magic stuff?

-How about a table with no legs. It just floats in the air. The height and angle are adjustable.

-Chair with no legs. Same deal.

-Desk with drawers of holding.

-Pocket sized paperback book has implausibly high number of pages

-Shelf casts shrink item on stuff placed on it. It unshrinks when you pick it back up.


Also, some currency ideas:

-higher value coins than the platinum piece, worth 100 and 1000 gp. Physically they're HD Rosettas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD-Rosetta) printed on Mithril and backed by the combination of the value of the mithril plus the precision of their manufacture plus the information recorded thereon.

-Magic scrolls used like paper currency

A bed stuffed with phoniex feathers, and the sheets are woven from sidhe hair

You know, I always imagine Phoenix feathers as being on fire perpetually. Like an everburning torch. That bed would be kind on warm.

Also, I like the rare tree idea, but what would be a good, rare tree?

Hmmm, I could do that with some type of permancied wind wall.

I like the idea of an obsidian glass table. Would just have to be careful, because volcanic glass can be very naturally sharp and hard. Rounded edges would be a must.

Oh! Moon rocks! Stuff could be made of moon rocks!

ALSO. Mid-level luxury was mentioned earlier; this is more for the villains than the PCs, but how about thrones made from the bones other than the skull? Like they make the chairs out of skulls and the other leftover bones they make into other cheaper chairs.

ALSO. Stuff made out of materials that were fished out of the gods' garbage.

ALSO. Elfin plants that grow into chairs. Just plant it and in a year or so it grows into an ornate throne

- A magic waterbed, without the pesky plastic and fabrics getting in the way. Like a swimming pool, but nicer to sleep in and no chance of drowning.

Also, make it bigger by adjusting the frame and adding more water.


You know, I always imagine Phoenix feathers as being on fire perpetually. Like an everburning torch. That bed would be kind on warm.

- Similar to electric beds, except no electricity required!

- Everburning fireplaces and chandeliers would also make good use of phoenix feathers

I'm trying to think of furniture that actually makes good use of magical or otherwise fantastic materials, instead of "this bed is like a normal bed but QUARTZ!!!".


-Shelf casts shrink item on stuff placed on it. It unshrinks when you pick it back up.

Does it work on people? If I got this I'll keep bugging my friends to sit on it.

Various objects that let you move up and down floors without actually having to use stairs, ladders, etc. could work. Extravagant ropes with loops you stand in at the bottom that coil up and down, columns of thick fog that let you slowly fall down arbitrarily far, floating platforms that serve as elevators, etc.

Another option would be to emphasize the craft. Everything is made of very good, but conventional materials. Also every wood surface is carved extremely intricately by a master at the height of their craft, all fabric is basically an extremely well made tapestry tailored to whatever the fabric is for, etc. Picture someone today using part of the Bayeux tapestry as bed sheets, and you get the idea.

In connection with this, a spiral shaped desk; It's like one of those desks that curves around (example (http://upload2.evocdn.co.uk/onlinereality/uploads/prod_img/2_13863_e.jpg)), but the steep spiral shape allows it to go around more than 360 degrees (without any space warping shenanigans) and the anti-toppling enchantment prevents everything from falling over/rolling off due to it's steep slope. Some kind of adjustable height chair is required to go with it so that the user can reach all heights and tiers of the desk

You want to find the wizard/furniture maker who has researched spells for absolute comfort and luxury.

You never actually touch the bed, it has a permanent Levitate spell that operates on whatever is above it.

An "Endure Elements" kind of spell that keeps you at a perfect temperature.

A permanent illusion spell on the wall that can provide entertainment (a bard's story? a play?) on command.

A chair for guests that automatically reads their thoughts for you.

For some more "Mid-Luxury" type ideas

Bedclothes made from wild dropped or wild shorn wool of rare creatures like Qiviut (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qiviut) or Vicuna (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicu%C3%B1a) for real world examples

Trained wood furniture. In the real world (http://www.bbc.com/news/business-32977012) it is normally done with fast growing softwoods but in yours oaks and mahogany would be something to see.

use spun sugar as a visual base for spun glass and crystal materials for "everburning torches" or the sand to glass sculptures created by the artisan's pet behir

Odd silks. Sure spider is a good one but so are moths that have dazling effect like the Tenebrous worm, Luna Moth etc

Use Roper glue instead of Unicorn

Extraplanar normal stuff. Green veined basalt from the first layer of Hell? Well it makes good counter-tops and anybody who is anybody in that town knows that its fire resistant properties are great in the kitchen and bread rolled out on it always has that extra "zing" Or the Wood from trees only found in the Beastlands. Sure Celestial Silver is normally no different than regular silver on a numbers basis (grants no bonuses without magic) but it blue cast marks your tableware as special.

Objects with Animate Object or Invisible Hands enchanted into them so they do their job on command.

A rag enchanted with Invisibility, Animate Object, and the Prestidigitation of Clean and/or Mend

The use of a permanent Major Image as art

The use of consumables like incense, cosmetics, perfumed hair wax cones, etc where you have to buy it again soon as you use it up. And things like incense resins can be fabulously expensive (even in the real world) coming from bugs, desert trees, dragon blood trees (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_cinnabari), etc. And you could go more fantastic than our world with Ki-Rin droppings, Trees of mastic that only grow from the graves of Janni, Siren Spit, Satyr Sweat, Nymph Hair, or Crushed Undead (vampire blood based cosmetic solutions! Keep those wrinkles away forever! At the local alchemist near you!),


Also things that have a fixed natural supply could become very expensive as in this city the number of people who could buy it at the normal price would be very high (increasing demand) but the supply is still fixed. Thus the cost will rise. And it no has more status attached to it if there is competition for something. Where having the connections to be able to buy items that never make it to the open market would be a stronger showing of power than mere price. So pearls that are not really much more beautiful than normal but are recognizable as coming from a specific place (requiring a specific water and oyster species combo for example) that can only produce so many a year (and are not reproducible) could have a price far far beyond what the objects themselves would elicit.

-Even more self repairing books; you can rip 'em to pieces and if you mush the pieces together they'll be fine (prereqs mending, amanuensis, and secret page)

Speaking of magnets, magnetic materials in general are likely to be pretty exotic, and it doesn't take that much sophistication for annular magnetic designs. Bottom magnet, center post, annular magnet floats above it. Maybe you have more than one of them, even. There's a lot of flexibility with magnetic furniture. Electromagnets are even more exotic. For instance:

Floating bed: A whole bunch of magnets are attached with thin wires to a repulsive magnet at the bottom and each other, with some slack. Bedding is then lain on top of this, and it functions much like a water bed.

Rising stairs: A bunch of magnetized steps are supported by a central pole, which passes through an electromagnetic plate. A command word electrifies the bottom plate, which repulses each step up to its maximum extent, forming a stair case. The entire apparatus could even be made to rotate, so that you have what is normally a flat platform in the middle of a room, but which can rise into a number of different stair cases connecting different landings.

Technically these are rented; they'll need to be teturned to the facility some time in the future so that they can send them to you in the past. They may also be made of a material that doesn't occur anywhere.

Scanning through the thread, I saw posts about furniture that's self-repairing, so how 'bout a house that's self-cleaning? Unless you want to show off your wealth by hiring a top-notch housekeeping staff.

Also how 'bout a fountain in the opening foyer of your elegant mansion? Not only is it a piece of furniture that serves no purpose but to make you look rich, but if it were enchanted with Bless Water it might actually be useful if there's a zombie attack or some jerk invited a vampire to your dinner party.

suggestion against self cleaning stuff: you want to show you can afford to pay people or for automatons to clean your stuff for you.

on the luxury as conspicuous consumption

intricate furniture made out of expensive materials that disintegrates after a few days (or cloth that does so)

wines made from necromantic grapes; must be picked in the dark of the night, and throughout the extraction, fermentation, aging, and bottling, the grapes are never exposed to light or positive energy; the bottle is made of fused darksand, the wine itself is sweet, with a faint taste of rot and time; the liquid is nearly black, with bright lavender tones, only a couple bottles are made each decade.

I planned something similar as a map display table, with illusions to project and some way of reading new maps that are placed on top of it.

My thoughts:
All of the fireplaces burn woods that release a pleasant fragrance, and is only found on the other side of the world. And there's different fragrances for different rooms.

All of the bed sheets, curtains and upholstery fabrics have thin strips of flowers woven in, and once the fragrance has worn off, they're discarded and replaced with new freshly woven ones.

If they hunt, their saddles, tack, riding boots and so on are made from rare animal leathers.

Blocks of ice in warm climates - freshly imported from the polar regions and magically preserved until they're required.

Don't need furniture at all.

Just have a bound Djinn slave. Have it form itself into a chair, a bed or a table - whatever.

Also it can carry you upstairs, do the cleaning, laundry, whatever.

And fulfil your wildest desires - well three times a day.

Actually you might need several - if you have guests over, or just want to use a chair and a table at the same time.

Mithril hinges, they never squeak or get stuck. Aging barrels for liquor made from Ents.

That's either a blatant misspelling of the word "bonsai" or pure evil genius. :smallamused: Also, tiny, tiny heroes. Which may or may not be random strangers kidnapped off the street and shrunk by an evil wizard..

Banzai tree: the miniature beauty of the bonsai tree combined with the constant refrain, "banzai! Banzai! Banzai!" from the constant rustling of its tiny leaves. Clearly magical, possibly highly annoying. Probably a receiving room plant while your guests and callers wait on your pleasure. Set them up to alternate chanting with a different species of miniature plant that repeats your character's name.

More seriously, the hallway of infinite doors. Each door opens to a different location anywhere in the world (or multiverse, if you're adventurous and don't mind interplanar marauders from time to time.) the hallway is as long as it needs to be. Alternatively, a hub of such hallways, each wing themed however you like: "the best bakeries," "favorite wineries," "fondest alone time places," what you.

The elemental bath. From the plane of water only the finest water, with or without the equivalent of Epsom salts. Heated to perfection by heat from the plane of fire. Command words to cause a wonderful hot steam bath effect. Possibly something that causes tamed water elementals to be heated to the perfect temperature that will wash your back--or wherever--for you. Likewise a warm air elemental that will dry you and maybe even with some skill at hairdressing for a stylish wind blown look. Possibly earth elemental masseuses, but I might be a little leery of getting my back pummeled by a two ton masseuse.

I'm big on enslaving/taming/contracting elementals. I suspect I'd die in a most horrific fashion eventually.

Furniture made by intelligent rats, the carving is just so intricate. It would also take forever to make one piece so it would be quite valuable.

Wood or bone furniture that has been allowed to petrify Or, even better, fossilize into opal

*Ice sculptures made out of holy water

A tamed Mimick, it can change into any piece of furniture you wish, but you have to feed it once in a while.

Imported directly from Bad Blintz? Their clocks are quite remarkable, from what I am told.
