[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1442254, member: 939"] With a thread name like that, I wonder who will read this... Anyway - my idea is a group of PCs where they are ALL monks, with vows of poverty. That is, none of them has any equipment or money nor do they pursue it. Wouldn't that make for an interesting campaign? They certainly would have somewhat different motivations from other characters. I wonder if the wealth/power chart takes this into account? I suppose the only way it could would be if such characters at 20th level were equally as powerful naked as regular 20th level characters are with their X million gold pieces worth of magic items added in. Anyone ever try this, or anything like this, where no one in the group has any possessions nor tries to get any? What was that like? How did that mesh with typical modules? If you haven't, feel free to speculate what it might be like. I assume there would have to be some sort of different, overriding motivation at work. There are also issues of party balance if they are all monks - could this be done with other classes, too? I'm only vaguely familiar with the whole 'vow of poverty' thing. [/QUOTE]
