[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7137886, member: 6803337"] Look up some IRL news stories about people who won the lottery ... and filed bankruptcy 3 years later. Whatever happened to them in the meantime, an NPC can try to do to the PCs. The King introduces them to - an Insurance Agent. The IA tells them that for a small fee, payable each month / year, he will take care of any time that somebody falsely claims that THEY broke the other fellow's stuff. For a large fee, payable each month / year, he will 'smooth over' any unpleasantness-es that happen after they REALLY DO break somebody else's stuff. (He's actually making the PCs pay for an insurance policy the town is taking out against them trashing stuff; but he won't tell the PCs that.) As of the Spellplague, Waterdeep allows persons to pay (Tens of Millions of GP) to buy a noble title. Offer your PCs a chance to gain a minor noble title for a (comparatively) minor payment. "Sir" = 1000 GP, &c. Cannot be passed on to heirs, can be revoked by the King upon sufficient good cause, makes you "Nobility" in local law. And just cool to have. [/QUOTE]
