How will PC's make money in your world

[pawsplay]

According to some people, you can't, the DM will just take it out of their next load of treasure.

By killing dragons in dungeons ?

 

[Piratecat]

Kill stuff, take their things. Subvert the paradigm!

Splitter.

Step 1) Steal Underpants

Step 2) ???


Just gotta make sure they aren't underdarkPants, or they won't last the day.

The characters will find some treasure during adventures. Many monsters like to accumulate treasure hordes. There are also lost hordes in old ruins. I also like to pay characters for adventures, if they're working for someone wealthy enough to afford it. One of the main differences between the PCs and NPCs IMC is that the PCs are independent agents who are free to work for various groups and powerful individuals. Most NPCs are retainers of one group or another.

There is usually quite a bit of down time between adventures IMC, so characters often have jobs they do between adventures as well. Bodyguard, teacher, sell sword, priest and thief have all been pitched by the players as professions for the characters. One of the characters works in his family's pastry shop when not adventuring (as a sous chef, since he spends too much time adventuring to really master those fancy sugar sculptures).

The characters are usually too cagey to become too closely tied to a single patron.

I was thinking of having them rip-off rich magic items merchants.

One thing in WoD I always liked is "Resources" it shows the level of income you have to spend on expendable things. So food, rent, initial equipment, etc.

So all the money you gain on top of that is special and unique. So what you spend it on is something generally special to the game.

Kill things, take their stuff, live of the (excessive) wealth they get from dragon hoards, ancient dwarven strongholds, and captured slaver loot.

Turning tricks, just like everybody else.

Since there is no profession skill anymore (not that this rules out making a living in your down time) I wonder how PC's in some worlds will be making money.

EDIT:Wow, I had gotten no farther than the first post and Drjones and I are on the same wavelength. Get out of my head!
