Also, a lot of cash is not a prime requisite (mostly used to buy magical items as far as I can discern on these boards) for my players to get the items they wat (they mainly use it as a way to make life easy and get mundane stuff, hire mercenaries, bribe people, raise armies and other such nonsense...)</blockquote>
