[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7529796, member: 4348"] Back in 1e and 2e gold was incredibly important. If you didn't waste it on luxuries, eventually you could build a homestead or base of operations (such as an Inn), or build a stronghold (such as a Castle), settle land and build up a duchy or kingdom, or even greater. You then had expenses like an army, servants, and more. I think this is incredibly pertinent for anyone who plays 5e as I do not see why they couldn't do the same thing in a 5e game if they had found a great enough treasure horde, or collected enough over their adventuring careers and then a Ruler gave them land as Lords and Ladies, but they still need to tame it and develop it. --------------------------------------------------------------- With Rings of Wishes I think it's the availability. If this is the only one they will ever get, they will probably be more hestitant...but the second they find another one...BINGO!!! If they feel that there are chances to find others, they will be far more willing to go out on a limb and be risky when they find a limited use item of high importance. [/QUOTE]
