[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 1774377, member: 12332"] This is assuming 4 players. The general way you do this is take the Cash Value, Divide by PCs, Subtract 3. This is the "Sale Value DC". Determine how much the PC would have lost by PURCHASING an item of that DC and that's the Wealth Bonus they get for it. There's no "Set Wealth Bonus" because your PCs may all have different Wealth scores and, therefore, X Dollars represents a different increase for each of them. To demonstrate: 50,000 / 4 = 12,500 Dollars 12,000 = DC 26 (See Page 204) 26 - 3 = Sale Value DC 23 Okay. We'll say our PCs each have a Wealth Bonus of +10. We use sales rules (P. 91). The DC is 15 or Higher (+1) 11-15 Points Higher than Current Wealth Bonus (+1d6) Thus each PC gets a Wealth Bonus increase of +(1d6+1) points OR, to average, +4 Wealth Bonus. It's a shade complicated at first, I'll admit, but it works nicely and keeps the whole thing running well. It gets simple quick if you keep a copy of the table on P. 204 and a copy of the table on P. 91 on hand. For 24,000 ... 24,000 / 4 = 6,000 (P. 204) $6,000 = DC 23 23 - 3 = Sale Value DC 20 20 is higher than 15, and 10 more than their wealth so they each get a flat +2 Wealth Bonus increase. (1 + 1 = 2) For 100,000k ... 100,000 / 4 = 25,000 $25,000 = DC 36 At Wealth +10 the 33 DC is More than 15, More than 16 over ... Those are +1, +2d6 so everybody gets +(2d6+1) Wealth. Hope that helps. As you see, a flat amount of money isn't a flat wealth bonus because Wealth increase is dictated by the original Wealth score, so it changes. ((Mmm. Not sure, Masada. My method adjusts each PCs Wealth by their share of the loot. If you just look at the DC for the WHOLE amount for each PC its as if they EACH get 50k. Plus you're forgetting the -3 sales rule. It seems odd to take off 3, but I'm pretty sure this was the method advocated by the big dog over on Wizards' boards. It's because an infusion of pure cash doesn't change your purchasing power as directly as all that, I think. You use some to pay off debts, it increases your credit score, you have to hide some of it or pay taxes on it, and you can't carry 50k in cash with you wherever you go, etc etc.)) --fje [/QUOTE]
