[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4447048, member: 3087"] It's facinating attempting to have a conversation with you, since you read about one post in three. Gold and wealth are addressed in another poll, as well as above. I understand you have a deep deep background in 3.x and an intense focus on transfering your experiences from LEW to L4W. But there are some differences that you should, at least, consider. The point has be made, repeatedly, that 4e strongly discourages "gp balancing". That's why, when you convert from magic items to gold the ratio is only 1/5th. Allowing someone to buy a magic item with limits might be OK. Allowing someone to take a first level character, pool all their gold and buy a +5 magic item is more problematic. And, anyway, we've rejected purchasing of magic items, "backdooring in acquistion of magic items through gp" seems like a spectacularly dishonest thing to do. If you want to try to suggest a gold-system that takes into account the existing polls (can't buy magic items, can only spend gold on equipment) and the fact that this is 4th edition and not 3rd edition? I'm sure we can poll it. :) [/QUOTE]
