[QUOTE="Gez, post: 513121, member: 1328"] The system is a bit too abstract to work properly, sure. A problem comes from mindless stacking of the wealth bonus. There's a huge gap between a WB of +3 and a WB of +6, as the +6 WB is, financially, not equivalent to two +3 WB put together. From statistics I've seen, a big corporation CEO's salary in the USA is worth around 531 blue collars' salaries. Now, this won't be represented by having the blue collar with, say, a +2 WB, and the CEO with a +533 WB. They're a logarithmic scale somewhere. That's why I think the WB should not stack. When your part found the big wallet with its +6 bonus, it's not going to change anything to the PC with the +8 WB. However, the PC with a +6 WB could reach +7, and the PCs with +3 or +5 could get to +6 -- that is, if they don't share. I would rule that, when shared, one +6 bonus is worth two +5, or four +4, height +3, etc. Remove one from the bonus each time you double the number of shares. When not sharing among a set power of two, use the nearest higher power usable, so that the +6 shared among 3 would give a +4 to each three persons. In your example, if the +6 wallet is shared equally among the 4 PCs, I would then rule that Mr +3 goes to +4 (as 3 is lower than 4), and all others stay where they are (+5, +6 and +8 being all higher than the share they get).
