[QUOTE="darkrose50, post: 7086275, member: 70793"] There are many costs that are not normally tracked. I like the idea of waving any cost under a certain threshold as compared to level. Something like the Triangular Number Sequence Level 1 = 1 Level 2 = 1+2 = 3 Level 3 = 1+2+3 =6 Level 4 = 1+2+3+4 = 10 . . . etcetera Then either having this number set to silver, or gold would be acceptable. Even having this number be set to gold x10 would work for some. This would not work for some gritty post apocalyptic survival themed games, but for the vast majority of games it would work, and is likely more-or-less how many play the game anyhow. Go to town and resupply rations, arrows, bits for kits without tracking everything. Basically any expense under the threshold would not be tracked. Not tracking room, board, stabling, feed, upkeep on gear, and resupplying mundane expendable would be a welcome rule to many. A 4th level adventure (1+2+3+4*10gp = 100gp) being able to pick up two potions of healing while in town, with pocket change, would be quite acceptable to me. ----- This would represent pocket change, investment income, good will, and business reasons. -----Pocket change----- Tracking small sums of money can be tedious. -----Investment income----- Having huge sums of money would quite often result in investment income. -----Good will and business reasons----- Being able to meet, interact with, and help out heroes would be a desirable experience. Having a group of highly powerful individuals frequent an establishment is good for security and business overall. My father is a retired police officer and the local convenience store offered police officers free coffee and fountain drinks. This is quite the inexpensive way to barter for security. Being able to say I shoed horses for heroes W, X, Y, and Z is bragging and marketing rights. Especially if you can get there signatures, or cantrip (?) aided portraits on the wall, a plank of wood, or paper. [/QUOTE]
