Thanks so much!
You're welcome. Feel free to let me know if I missed anything.
Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that these are super useful and well-done! Thanks!

Thank you. They're still a work in progress, as I realize things I have forgotten. If you discover anything that should be added, feel free to let me know.
Thanks! I put your data into an Excel file and then uploaded it to a Google Sheet. I'm adding other prices in as I find them, and of course you can download the sheet and use it as you will.

Great job, at least on the Slave costs (the only one I looked at). I made my own table prior reading this and had similar values for the player races but I would increase the Mul to at least 10x based on some Dark Sun Cannon. And put the Half-Giant at maybe 7x. I guess my table compared to your costs would have my gladiators at 7th level.
Race/gp
Dwarf 15, Elf 5, Half-Elf 7, Half-Giant 50, Halfling 3, Human 7, Mul 80, Thri-Kreen 30
The above slave prices are based on the following sources related to Mul and Human costs.
The Verdant Passage, Chapter 7: A Bidding War, Page 145
“Mul gladiators could be had for eighty gold.”
Of note: the winning bid for Sadira, a Half-Elf, Page 146
“Agis stood, calling, "Ninety-five!".”
TSR2433 - Dark Sun Monstrous Compendium Appendix II, Terrors Beyond Tyr, Page 72
“A slave trader can make as much on the sale of a mul as he might with a dozen humans.” ( (80/12=6.6 rounding up to 7gp)
DSR2 - Dune Trader, Page 73 (Supply and Demand, Trade Goods Prices)
and Page 83 A House Inika Caravan Trade Route Map
Base Price (C) = Balic, Gulg
Base Price x 2 (B) = Draj, Raam, Tyr, Urik
Base Price x 0.75 (D) = Nibenay (0.75 estimated)
I based the other race costs from other non-cannon DS related posts, a little with what I could find on the topic with Roman history, and Lords of Madness: The Book of Aberrations, Page 101.
Thank you for the canon references. I'll have to look the costs over and make corrections.
