[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6212002, member: 19675"] Wealth is great...but then you have to hold on to it. As news of their fortune spreads, opportunists of all kinds will see potential pickings. Some will merely be thieves. Others will be adventurers much like themselves. Others still may be rivals of the hoard's former owner. Then there are the scammers, "long lost" relatives, and even shopkeepers who jack up the prices just because they know you can afford it ("ya rich suckers"). As far as [I]using[/I] the wealth goes, the standard for nearly every campaign I've been in- on either side of the screen- is that the game books determine the average price of an object, not the [I]actual[/I] price or availability of something where the PCs are. Sometimes what you want isn't available. Or it isn't for sale at a price you can or care to meet. [/QUOTE]
