Message: <blockquote data-quote="nnms" data-source="post: 5277289" data-attributes="member: 83293">Finally, an application of all this!In my upcoming campaign, the characters are going to begin as the inner circle of a noble house.  I'm borrowing the noble house creation rules from the Song of Ice & Fire RPG.  It only gets a little bit of modification to make it work with D&D.It has an input from the party treasure.  The house has a "wealth" attribute that it can use to buy things.  Castles, towers, other construction, influence, enlarging the army, more town guards/garrisons, etc., etc.,.And each 1000 gp inserted into the noble house increases the wealth of the house by 1.So there's my connection between their noble house and adventuring treasure.At low levels, they'll be struggling to fund things.  But at higher levels, they'll be scraping off chunks of their astral diamonds to fund the construction of whole cities.I want to normalize this a bit.  I want their ability to contribute come sooner and not become meaninglessly easy at higher levels.So I'm going to decrease the multiplier to x2.  And increase the cost of a level 1 magic item to 500 gp.  They'll still get about a level item's worth of treasure each over the course of a level.  I'm going to keep the ritual and consumable costs where they are.  So the PCs have increased purchasing power for mundane equipment, rituals and consumables.As this campaign is going to be be points of light based, learning and magical craftsmanship are not where they once were.  Magic items will not be easily purchased.  And creating items will not be easy either.  The lower relative cost of higher level magic items won't be an issue as they'll largely be unpurchaseable.  Well, except for any that are truly common.  I'll wait to see the new Rules Compendium before I think to much more about that.The campaign will also use inherent bonuses, so players won't necessarily be too negatively impacted by not having easy access to magic-Walmart or magc-Amazon.com.</blockquote>
