As in: If purchasing a title granted the character +3 to all persuasion checks, he'd purchase it, otherwise 'whats the point'.My argument is 'use your imagination and think - what would my character want/do' and then do that (regardless of whether its in your characters best intrest).Murderhobism is all well and good, but (in my experience) it stems from quite shallow characterisations. Nothing wrong with it if thats your cup of tea mind you. Its not mine. I like to have three dimensional characters (that are also mechanically potent).I have a PC in my game that I run that hordes money. When I asked what his half-orc barbarian would do with the money he said (after reflection) 'wine, women and song'. When I asked him why he hasnt spent any on it, he replied he's saving it for magic items.  The parties swashbuckler OTOH is spending extrordinary amounts (and Im cracking out the carousing table in the DMG). He's woken up in NPC and PCs beds, gotten himself beaten up and robbed, won (and lost) at gambling, and generally gotten a name for himself around town (and been awarded a fair bit of inspiration).Each to their own. My point was really that by crawling into your PC and spending money on stuff from titles, to land to servants to just living the high life, you might not get any hard and fast mechanical benefits from it, but youre playing your character and its an element of the game that the poster in question might just be missing out on.</blockquote>
