| Jul 25, 2016 at 15:39 | comment | added | Erin Thursby | Yeah, I can scale it to my world using this as a base. @LewisSmith just asked for pricing. Anyone that wants to get specific using those numbers can, but it's not required for an answer. I am trying to figure what the value would be worth relative to an adult of the same class. The unborn are half in this example, but there's nothing on underage kids anywhere. Children are common and die all the time in this world, so it's going to be lower, but I'd like to get a handle on how it might have worked here for realism's sake. | |
