[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 3417278, member: 12332"] Like ... "I found $20, now I can make a single +3 Wealth roll?" I've never much liked it, personally. I see the money as entering the abstract system when the character gets it. He's got it earmarked for various things we may not think of. He doesn't find a 20 and turn around and buy 20 dollars worth of stuff, usually. I might, if it were a unique situation where they found a box of money and walked into a store directly after, just fall back to a dollars-to-dollars scene for a minute. Usually it goes like: "You've delivered the goods and the shady character hands over an envelope of money. Inside is the $4,000 you were promised." "We decide to split it evenly, 1k apiece." "Alright. That's a PDC 18, you get PDC 15 out of it, so everybody goes up by at least +1 Wealth from that deal." Etc, then they compare bonuses and roll as usual. I've had two people balk at the system at the table in the time I've been using it, and both of them came around rather quickly. One became such a proponent he started trying to get people all through the local gaming community to switch. And most people who play at my table using the rules routinely grouse about games that DON'T use the mechanic they play at other times. --fje [/QUOTE]
