[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9766650, member: 6906980"] If DMs think the characters have too much gold, isn't the solution simply to not give them as much? I fail to see the issue here. If you're running a published module you are free to adjust it as you see fit. I don't personally see giving the characters a reasonable amount of gold and things to spend it on to be a problem. The key word here is reasonable. So yes, I want that fighter to be able to afford plate mail, the wizard can occasionally buy a scroll and add it to their spellbook or create a backup spellbook, characters can buy magic items from a curated list. They are never swimming in gold. I just glanced at the character sheets for a group that is level 8 and the average is a little over 500 GP. A decent chunk of change certainly, but if they're saving up for any big expenditures it's not much. The numbers are a bit skewed by the one guy that has more than double the amount the others have. I assume he's saving his pennies for something specific. So if you think the characters have too much money? Talk to the person who keeps handing it out. :) [/QUOTE]
