Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 5531891" data-attributes="member: 1210">Sure, if that frivolous expenditure was on drinks and whores, but if it was an anonymous donation to the church or the poor? Treasure gathering is a primary motivation of pcs because that is the type of game I want to run in this instance. Depending on the campaign I might swap out xp systems- maybe make it all story based sometimes, maybe make it all rp based sometimes. But my group has loved the sound of the "drinking & whoring for xp" system since we first discussed it months ago. Granted, it might not be for everyone.This is the only place in my system where I will straight-up say I'm not worried about the fictional justification. It's to make money more fleeting, to make for more interesting choices and to promote a certain playstyle. Again, it might not be for everyone, but that's okay- this whole system is really written to be ideal for me and for my style of play. Even so, like I said, it would be fairly easy to swap in a different system for xp.The shopping trip is more like the scene in a Conan story where the party is drinking it up when the next adventure comes their way- I expect most of it to happen "off screen" during downtime.Note that there are a lot of things that take significant time to happen (training, magic item creation, etc.) That's intentional. Actually, something I hadn't thought of until now is that it could actually take time to fritter away your money, depending on circumstances- it's pretty hard to drop 10,000 gp in a single night in the only tavern of a town with only 100 people.</blockquote>
