How much gold do you have?

[random user]

I'm curious as to how much gold and what level your party members have and are (if you are a DM) or you have (if you are a player).

I'm not talking about net worth -- just easily liquid gold/plat/gems etc. For example, if a player has a +1 sword and a +1 ring of protection, please don't add them to their gold total. If the character has a magic item that he isn't using, but isn't sold yet, also please don't add that to the total (but feel free to make a note of it).

The characters I am running are level 3 and 4, and have on average about 700gp each.

Actually, it might be interesting to see their net worth too (calculating all their items half price ie sale price), so if you want to list that too feel free. I would have to do a fair amount of math to figure out my players' average net worth so I don't have that figure handy at the moment.

party is 14th level and have maybe 200gp each

 

[Emperor Valerian]

Let's see... at the end of the last campaign I DMed:

1) 22nd lvl fighter/bondblade - millions and millions of gp (tends to happen when you end up Empress of the largest realm in your world)
2) 22nd lvl bard - millions of gp (tends to happen when you're a Baroness, and best friends with teh Emperor and Empress of the largest realm in your world)
3) 22nd lvl bard/rogue - hundreds of thousands of gp (tends to happen when you are a lord, friends with the Emperor and Empress and actually give a bunch of that money back to them, and spend more on opening a chain of taverns that feature 24 hour breakfasts)
4) 22nd lvl monk - ~0 gp (tends to happen when you retire to the austere life of a desert monastery)

So yeah, things varied wildly Then again, it was the end of a campaign, too.

I don't have any gold. I find silver to be a superior investment. Oh, characters. Yeah. They usually have about 1/4 the wealth for the level in gold, gems, ect. The rest is magic items. I am pretty easy with giving out treasure and have on occassion taken 'requests' for the reward from a difficult encounter.

I'm curious as to how much gold and what level your party members have and are (if you are a DM) or you have (if you are a player).

My 13th-level elvish monk Otanes (elves were sort of Persian in that GM's game) died without a penny to his name. But he took the BBEG with him, so that was all right.

My 4th-level paladin Edmund Edwinson seems according to his character sheet to have 208 and a half silver pennies in his hoard (he lives in Durham in 1091, and that is quite a lot of money in a low-magical campaign with realistic mediaevl prices).

I am the GM for my gaming group. My group has six characters straggling between low 6th and high 7th level.

We don't really worry about money too much. We keep vague track, but for the most part we keep track of equipment. The group works for several temple-groups that work in tandem, so they don't usually have to worry about funding for taverns or food -- that is part of their pay.

Money is a very rare issue in the current campaign.

In the next campaign, however, everyone will be keeping track of their money through personal money bags, with washers used for the actual cash

Hmmm, my 22nd level alienist/planeshifter has 50,361 gp in cash. However, she has prolly 1.5 million in mithral that needs to be smelted down, distributed and sold. She's saving money to research epic spells with.

I'm not sure about the pcs imc- I don't keep a copy of their sheets- but the npc fighter who has been traveling with them for about six levels has 14,979.02 gp in cash, plus a few gems and 400 ep. Since electrum coins are no longer minted, they have no set value, but a handful of years again when they were manufactured, they were worth half a gold each- so he's prolly got around 15K all told.

He did just spend tremendous amounts of money to get some better armor, though.

my current 12th lvl bard has a little over 1300gp

my character in the story hour in my sig has been saving up for a suit of mithril chain or mithril chain shirt enchanted with abjuration magic... Fiddle is 9th lvl almost 10th and has 4000gp in gold trade bars plus 567pp plus a few IOUs from the party he will collect when he finds an armorer with his item.

BTW, what's the point of this thread?

I mean... what does it say, how much gold a character has without knowledge about the worth of gold (if different to standard D&D) or the amount of valuable stuff the character has.

What does it tell you (or better, what do you hope it is going to tell you, but is not, actually )?
