Hi there!

One of my PC's is interested on playing a War Cleric (level 3) but he doesn't want to have a shield. His idea is to have the holy symbol tattooed on his hand that has to keep free, placing his hand (or symbol) in runes that are tattooed along his face and arm to cast spells.

Should I give him like a scale mail? I feel like a Breastplate or a Ring Mail are too strong for those levels, but he has a 10 on DEX and with a Chains Shirt his AC would be just 13.

Hello!

Some of my players feel like D&D is like an JRPG and in every new town there is going to be new (magical) weaponry to buy. I tend to offer all the weapons that come in the PH but they are looking for items that are actual magic items like flame tongues an such. Even if decided to sell those, based on the game the prices would be astronomical, specially for a level 5 adventuring party. Is there something I can do mechanically to fix that or I should tame their expectations? Is there any currency system that feels more...reachable? Like, keeping the money pipe tight and make a 1000G item be like a super expensive one rather than putting the price tag in the ten thousands?
