A War Eternal (4-6 players needed)

Not that it effects these characters, but our own link says the exact opposite of this. Wizard's Bullet Points under 'Wealth Revisited'.

I think that the freebie items are a bit much, a wealth +20 with a 20 taken on the roll means that we could all start owning our own mansions. I'm not against the idea in general, just the amount.

Having just read the bullet point on Wealth for higher level characters, I think I'll dump the free items. Basically, you'll have wealth = 8 + occupation + feats + ranks in profession. From there you can spend down, taking tens or twenties and spending down your wealth appropriately.

Thanks for the link Gramcrackered...and for the input all.

*referring to Level 1 characters apparently being able to take a 20 also*

Strange. The book seems to contradict that pretty clearly on Page 91, with the examples in the lower left corner. Go figure, eh?

Oh - and I don't mean to step on your toes or anything, Orvallon. I know I've been correcting you a bit much lately.

You know... this wealth thing is really confusing me

In brief, how do I spend it down as I buy stuff? Didn't really understand it the other time I played either. Honestly, I'm not going to be buying a whole lot of stuff. I'm thinking my guy was a rodeo sharpshooting pistoleer type, doing trick shots and what not. Things happened and... well... I'll leave that to my "history story" when I post my character. Which brings me to... where do we post our characters when they are finished? I've pretty much just needing to finish writing his history and buying his goodies, which, as you've probably already figured out from the first part of this, I don't know how to do

Wealth is a pain in the arse.

Basically, you can get any piece of gear that has a DC under your wealth, or under 15 (whichever is lower) without effecting your wealth score at all.

Here is the relevant part of the SRD

Losing Wealth
Any time a character purchases an object or service with a purchase DC higher than his or her current Wealth bonus, or one with a purchase DC of 15 or higher, the character’s Wealth bonus goes down. How much the Wealth bonus is reduced depends on how expensive the object is.

Object or Service Purchase DC Wealth Bonus Decrease
15 or higher +1 point [1]
1–10 points higher than current Wealth bonus 1 point
11–15 points higher than current Wealth bonus 1d6 points
16 or more points higher than current Wealth Bonus. 2d6 points

[1]This stacks with the loss from a Purchase DC above the character’s current wealth bonus.

Will you be rolling for our wealth decreases? Or should we do it ourselves (honor system) or try to figure out the boards dice coding (if it's still in place)?

Assume 4 for a roll of d6 7 for a roll of 2d6

Cool, thanks

One last little question, when you say ranks in profession, do you mean literal ranks in profession or the bonus derived from them (table under the description for profession)?

I got what I have from the Bullet Points, and from what was said, there, it's actual ranks, not the rank bonus.

Action points also are not 3, but instead whatever your last level up would have given you. Which would be 8 or 9 depending on whether your last level was a basic or advanced class.

So assuming maxed out Profession ranks, and an average (+2) occupation, starting wealth would be +19, before drawdowns for purchases

 

[Festy_Dog]

Ah, thanks for that.
