The material cost of 1 silver piece is hilarious. Just ignore it.
I don't even know why fixing stuff in such a form is even in someones mindset. Kinda sad....
It's "kinda sad"?
Really?
In your campaign maybe it is.
In the campaigns I am currently running, it really is.
But, in a campaign I am playing it, 1 silver piece is amazing. It's an awestruck moment to get any monetary value at all.
As a City Watch Investigator, over 9 months of playing once every other week and making it to 13th level I have made a total of 16 gold from my pay, us exploring several ancient sites and rounding up and/ or killing dozens of threats to the Kingdom. We have gotten magic items and several customized things of non-magical nature towards our rewards. I have purchased a few things I wanted towards my character goals, like a longbow (seriously, I wanted a longbow because I didn't start with one and it was one thing I wanted, so I was in the shop everyday putting a little money here and there towards getting it) and a custom coat for me and earrings for my character and my character's best friend. Then I "died" and my best friend got my coat and other friend got my earrings before I came back.
Just to be clear, my group is considered to be very rich and very successful people in that campaign. We are pointed at as examples and three of us have been knighted.
It's also one of the best campaigns I've ever played because money isn't the best thing to have in it.
So don't just dismiss a cost with "kinda sad..." when you don't know that every campaign is different and having 1 million platinum pieces in one campaign is the equivalent to having 5 Silver pieces in another.
That being said, to just be clear, in the one campaign I play in, and the 6 that I run, with a total of 34 players, I don't know anyone who uses Booming Blade or Green Flame Blade at all.
