Almost everyone will agree that haggling has minimal value in the game. At early levels when you need it, it makes things more expensive. You can only use it a set number of times per merchant so it’s hard to train. It has an effect on all items in the inventory.

I propose the following changes:

1. Haggling should be done per individual item directly before buying it. Pass or fail, you can only use it once directly before buying it.

2. Haggling should reduce a percentage of ‘inflation’ based on charisma. 10 cha= 10% reduction from inflation of the base cost, this would help ME and DE the most because it’s all inflation for them thanks to racism.

3. Failure in the skill will cause you to buy the item at original proposed cost. This means you can’t haggle unless you can afford the item first. No money? No bargaining!
