[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 2124554, member: 21064"] You've got a decent argument. If the character had been played since L1 he would indeed get those benefits. And that's basically what silentspace did. I see your side of the issue. However, I worry that if I am too lenient (granting every request by the players inevitably causes problems, like when SomethingFaster asked for the special item) then I'll either unbalance the game or some characters (silentspace and you) will be far better of than others. I reiterate what I said before: That's a heck of a benefit for one stinkin' feat. The other players, for example, might get Weapon Focus (Waraxe), a +1 to attack rolls with that weapon. You, with Mercantile Background, get 20,000 some-odd gold to spend on whatever you want. A +3 weapon and then some left over. Just because you would "only" get 15% from the feat, that's still a lot of money. Is your expensive inventory really so vital to your character that you have to rebuild him from the ground up? I know that all of the PCs could do with a few more magic items, but just because Kaitlin can't afford Gloves of Dexterity +6 doesn't mean that her Shadowdancer concept is ruined. Do you see where I'm coming from? I said in the very first post that my veto is negotiable. I will hold true to my word. Email me and we'll discuss the matter further. [/QUOTE]
