[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 1236191, member: 3801"] So, here's the situation. My campaign has been running for quite a long time, and the current players are all 19th level. A new player is joining the group, and is making a 19th level character. When it comes to character wealth, I only allow a player to spend up to 10% of his total wealth (in this case his total wealth is 580,000gp) on a single items, so that means no items over 58,000gp. So, he decided to take the Ancestral Relic feat, from the Book of Exalted Deeds - which will allow him to bypass the 10% rule for his sword. The problem is that the feat allows him to spend up to 290,000gp on the sword, and it becomes 380,000 when he reaches 20th level. Since a +10 sword costs 200,000 (plus the cost of the weapon), how could he possibly spend it all? The only thing I could come up with was to make it intelligent, but that would imply that he gets to choose it;s powers rather than roll, which could be a bit excessive. What would you do in this situation? He also asked if I could allow him to split it between two swords (which would be two +8 swords) or between a sword and some armor. I could use some advice or ideas on how to handle this situation! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
