what would you charge your players if they were going from Nuln to Grissenwald?

And then from Grissenwald to Altdorf?

Either by coach or boat (they haven't decided yet).

And is there a place I can find 4th edition travel prices?

There are times my players want to roleplay each day of journey. When that happens, calculating costs is somewhat easy because you're roleplaying each stop at an Inn.

Sometimes, my players just want to get from point A to point B and only get stopped when they encounter a significant event. When that happens, I'll figure out the duration of the trip, and then just charge their Career's Social Standing per week (in addition to their regular upkeep) + 1 coin (of the next lower tier, gold -> silver -> brass -> nothing) per day.

So a Wizard at Gold 1 travelling for 1 week, would require 1 GC to travel "in a style in keeping with their station" plus 7 silver (1/day).

Hope that helps.

Very helpful, thank you so much!

If they choose to travel by coach, do you add 2 silver pr. day maybe?

In my mind, I really just wanted something quick and easy, the cost I mentioned above covered everything and reflected the quality of the coach, etc. If you wanted to add another layer you certainly could

IE, traveling by foot is social tier plus one coin.
By boat is plus 2 coins.
By coach is plus 3 coins.
Tweak as necessary.

Makes a lot of sense. I will definitely by using a modification of this. Thank you so much :-)
