haggle haggling
Haggling is an indispensable skill to the trader. It allows a character to match wits with a merchant, seeking to get a better price for merchandise, or to buy at the lowest possible cost. Unfortunately, most merchants are already very skilled at haggling, so the untrained adventurer had best guard his treasure closely. Thieves are natural masters at haggling, although other classes may learn it as well. Being skilled at appraising items improves a characters ability to haggle further.
