The game started low wealth as I believed everything you would need would be provided by the army. When you got to higher lvls you would get better arms and armor. The PC would prove he was a worthy squad leader, then commander, and then be equipped as such. Still possibilities but for now rewards from the ambassador will have to do.Rant time (sorry) -I am finding it odd that magic items take a back seat in most pbp games I am running (currently 13 - and need to start an LPF game soon - please join the LPF if you haven't and hop in <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) In this game I have givin out very few as I think it is the character's abilities and personality that should be taking center stage, and will be what I am shooting for in the future. In this game you need not be at optimum WBL - because it also assumes you will have like what 6-7 encounters before you rest. Something that will not happen in a typical pbp game, and I know not this one.  In other games I have given out items and they are never used (never even put on a character sheet <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" />) or they are sold off for what the player wants (so why did I put it in there?)Just think pbp should have it's own way for XP, WBL, and encounters. Right now I only RP through pbp - there is no RL group close - and have been learning to become a better pbp DM (thanks for the compliment FtF - no you get no extra XP for it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />).Rant over I thinkI just want to be able now to catch the group up a little - they will fall behind again - and give the items a little more meaning (reward from the ambassador) than picking them up in a shop.HM</blockquote>
