Rapiers and Rocket Ships: A Planetary Romance game (d20 Modern) Full

How are we handling Wealth? Is there a set value to which we should add our starting bonus, or should we roll for each level gained?

A first level character starts with 2d4 + Occupation Wealth Bonus + Any Feat Wealth Bonus.

Everytime you gain a level you make a profession check (pg 70 of d20 Modern) to see what kind of Wealth increase you get.

Now be warned a Stranger's Wealth will count for nothing in the "new" world. I am currently debating on what to do with Wealth. On option is to have a characters wealth return after they gain a level in the new world. Another is to give a bonus in either skill points and/or class skills for Wealth points lost. Any idea's on what you all would like to do?

you could use a case by case solution. If there is an opportunity for someone to logically get his wealth then he does otherwise he gets something else to make up for it.

Speaking for Roland, his commanding demeanor and natural leadership should give him some in-game reason to reacquire his wealth. I think that would be the optimal solution for him. Other players and characters may have different solutions.

Thinking about an Irish thief at the moment.

Thinking about an Irish thief at the moment.

An Irishman? A rebellious Papist, you mean! No wonder you turn to thievery; you haven't the ability or motivation to work for a living.

Really, it seems a lovely idea; nothing like a little built-in character interaction to make a fun game.

*grin* exactly what I thought. Still not sure about any details though, I'm a little busy at the moment.

My general character idea is a WWI fighter pilot who's turned to commercial air traffic to earn a living. Something of the Biggles type. Maybe he's the airship's pilot, a member of the crew, or just a passenger enjoying the trip.

A fair-skinned redhead with a taste for the uncouth past-time of boxing? No need to add any more history. I can already tell you're going to be another Papist. The good Lord deliver us from such! Pray, tell me that at least one of my companions is a proper's King's man or woman? Even a colonial? Heaven help me, a Frenchman?
