[QUOTE="random user, post: 1494996, member: 16581"] Two things to add... First as people have said before, it's not as simple as going to another plane grabbing the gold and running back out. Denizens of that plane may think you have robbed them and come back looking for their property. Slavers, and other nasties exist while you are obtaining the gold, etc etc. So there is some risk there. Here's the second thing. How many prime material planes and alternate prime material planes are there? And someone mentioned devils. Include all those cabals and you have quite a lengthly list of people who are interested in said gold. And some of it have been at it for thousands of years before whenever your present campaign is. They're not going to sit idle. They all have the same motivations you have. So I would say that all the reasonably easy gold, no matter where it is, has already been taken. Any remaining gold in any plane is either undiscovered (and fairly hard to find), already claimed by some denizen of that plane (though that person may be inattentive to it at times), or so hard to get that it's not worth the effort to get it. Now if you had created some "plane of gold" where everything on the plane is gold... I guess I would have to think of something else there. To my knowledge that plane doesn't exist, but I'm certainly not anywhere close to an authority on the cosmology of D&D. [/QUOTE]
