Give a man a bank, and he will rob the world.White collar crime is where it's at.I'm inclined to argue that, like hacking, you could use hacking to make money, but most hackers get better money, and benefits, from legitimate employment.Leaving aside the fact that a 5th level wizard doesn't have to worry about food or shelter, so it's unclear what he'd need low level wares for. At their level, their spellbook will be worth more than the Shire and everything in it.Out of curiosity, I decided to check the SRD to see what a 5th level wizard would have reasonable access to.First off, he could cast Rope Trick or Tiny Hut for shelter, if only overnight. He can get transportation via Mount (or Phantom Steed) and assistants via Unseen Servant.He could get low level magic items, such as a Ring of Sustenance for 2500 gp, which removes the need to eat and reduces the need for sleep to two hours per day, and a Handy Haversack for 2000 gp or Bag of Holding I for 2500 gp. WBL for a 5th level character is 9000 gp, so this affordable at 5th level. (If we allow the MIC, we have Everlasting Rations for 350 gp.) For games without magic marts, we could say that a wizard could get these items on commission or in exchange for favors, ie, the church crafts them as payment for slaying monsters or heretics or what have you.</blockquote>
