But this is Oberone fallacy stuff. And more rules I need to rewrite, less incentive I have to buy the official rules in the first place.

You know what, the more I consider it, the more I think ‘Poverty’ is such a poor choice of words to describe any of the Core Books. They...

Whoa there. I didn't call anyone stupid, and I think it's very uncharitable to say something like that about people who are just...

For AD&D, that would totally work. I just don't see how that would work in 5e. What are you improvising it based on? There's no Level 6...
