Wealth

Successful characters accumulate wealth from the spoils of their adventures. Treasure may take many forms, but often the most useful forms of treasure is money.

Money: The most common coin is the gold piece (gp). Coins made of other metals – Platinum (pp), electrum (ep), silver (sp), and copper (cp) – are also used. The conversion rates of coins are shown below.

Starting Money: PC’s begin play with 3d6 x 10 gold pieces.

Inheritance: Faced with the possibility of character death, players may wish to create a will for their characters to leave wealth behind for an heir. If the referee allows this the following stipulations apply:

Tax: Any treasure left as an inheritance will be taxed at 10%
Heir: A character’s heir must be a new 1st level character.
Once only: A player may only leave a character inheritance once.

Domains: When characters have amassed sufficient wealth, they will often wish to construct a base or stronghold and possibly found a domain.
