[QUOTE="spongebob1138, post: 6842058, member: 6795430"] So, I'm a pretty new DM, and the PCs are getting to the point where they've got a decent amount of coin jingling around in their bags. I'm feeling like I need to have an option for banking/storage of funds. I posted on a 5e Facebook group and gathered some input there, but here are my thoughts. Please tell me what you think. As my campaign in set in the FR, I was thinking about setting up the Church of Waukeen as a basic banking institution. For a fee (7 percent? 10 percent?), a PC could exchange coin for a letter of credit, somehow enchanted or marked to protect from forgery/counterfeiting, that could be used to retrieve coin in a different city. A withdrawal of coin would not incur an additional fee, but a deposit of additional funds would require the same 7-10 percent fee. The letter of credit would be updated after a transaction. I know there will be questions/complications with this, and it's not 100 percent realistic. Like, wouldn't the churches of Waukeen get robbed all the time? Maybe the funds aren't kept there. Maybe a network of portals or something? Anyway, please tell me what your thoughts are and/or what you do in your games. I'm just looking for a basic mechanism so the players don't walk around with 10-20 pounds of coin in their sacks. Even if they converted it to platinum or gems, it still wouldn't be wise to carry all your money with you all the time! [/QUOTE]
