Most of us have been playing for years, if not decades.  Are you telling me that the rest of us didn't notice a problem like this?   I'm flabergasted.In 3.5e D&D, weath is correlated -- sorry, too technical: "directly connected" -- to PC power.  It's not some random number pulled out of someone's a___.    <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  It's been thought thru, play-tested, and seen years of "real world" gaming experience.  And for the vast majority of cases, the wealth given a PC is sufficient to meet the challenges that  PCs are expected to face.  The entire CR system (and EL, APL, ECL, etc) is based on this premise.  It's not only not "impossible" that a PC survives with such a wealth total, it's expected and designed for.That said: hey, if you want to arbitrarily double (heck: Triple It!) the wealth of your PCs, go for it.  It's your game.  But that sort of thing is most definitely "house rules" material, and not necessary for PC survival.Unless, I suppose, you blow it all on some ring.  I hear Gollum got in trouble with that.</blockquote>
