|Haggling is common in the genre and people want to be able to do it, and this ability seems like it would be a good fit for haggling. Its primary function is to get people to agree to things that they wouldn’t normally agree to, after all... and merchants normally wouldn't agree to give discounts, now, would they? But haggling for every item also slows the game down substantially, offers a gear advantage similar to crafting all of your own stuff, and puts the spotlight on a single player while it is happening. As a result, it can be somewhat problematic for games. So while this skill ability can perform the function, it is not a core function of the ability. Instead, it is an optional use of this ability; you should confirm with your DM whether haggling of any sort will be allowed in the game.
If allowed, any attempt to buy an item for less than or equal it to what it cost the merchant, or to sell an item to a merchant for more than or equal to what they could re-sell itfor, is considered a repugnant agreement. A discount or increase that lies no more than halfway between the market price and the cost price (25% for most magical gear) is considered a tolerable agreement. There is no favorable agreement, since haggling, by definition, costs the merchant money if he agrees to sell at a lower price or buy at a higher price. Once you have determined the type of deal and are ready to make a check, you use the higher of the merchant's CR or the item’s level to determine the DC of this check.
If you make this check and fail, you simply buy the item for full price instead of making another attempt. While this is not the way a normal haggling attempt would proceed, it works as a way of keeping the haggling checks from taking up too much time.}}<onlyinclude>
