[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2041577, member: 12037"] The thing is, you make so little money at a day job in D&D compared to adventuring. You're epic, and a single CR 21 encounter should give you somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 gp. At level 22, your total wealth should be above one million gold pieces. And that's low epic. By level 30, total wealth should be over four million gold pieces and an equal level encounter should net you over 40,000 gp. I know most encounters won't be equal level, but still the money gained through adventuring is far higher than you can make sitting around town. During downtime, though, there's no reason you can't sell your services casting spells. A single 9th level spell cast for someone will net you 1530 gp, but people probably won't be asking for those too much. I would assume that mulitple spells over the couse of the week would add up to that, so it sounds like a good per week amount. Every once in a while someone might want something expensive, though, like [i]wish[/i], which would net you 26,530 gp (for -5000 xp), which is 6,530 more gp than you can wish for. If you're really up for money you could advertise around that you're willing to cast [i]wish[/i] for people. [/QUOTE]
