No, but there are VERY FEW ducks in Dragon Pass. In the interest of space,
I have no problem with leaving them for a Sartar supplement. There's
already too much in this volume, and important stuff that isn't there.

You both read it wrong. The cost of the skin is 1L; when full, such a skin
is 1.0 ENC. The fulling is extra cost.

It seemed like something of a simplification, in that you had 7 or so
choices to make, and that was it. Most of us took money only with a
leftover choice, or took money only to buy some important (but not
necessarily expensive) item (like my character's bagpipes) that weren't on
the list.
