[QUOTE="Bront, post: 2725483, member: 19696"] This is something I discussed my GM, particularly in light of money and doing works with it. And the line we decided on: The VoP Player may accept money or payment, but said money and payment must go to the proper works, be it given to the poor, a charity, a god, or whatever. It must not be used for personal gain or even for questional works (assuming the VoP is aware of the 'questions'). So, there is no reason a VoP character can't carry 20 gold, so he has coin to give to the poor he may find on the street. He just can't buy a meal with it himself (or at least explicetly for himself, feeding everyone, including himself with the money seems fairly reasonable, depending on the cercumstances.) The idiocy of having other PCs carry his gold and items and use them on his behalf is ludicris. If they want potions for him, they can buy them themselves and give them to him to use if/when he needs them, but he would not ask them to buy them on his behalf, only to do what they felt is right. Someone else carrying your wealth still means you maintain wealth, which is not the purpose of the feat. Basicly, with any moral character, or vow, it should be worked out with the GM, and should be a matter of roleplay. A character should feel pure in his intent when he takes an action, and a GM should take that to heart, since often morality is the spirit more than the leter of the law. [/QUOTE]
