[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8518160, member: 23751"] Not explain why they are broke, but rather why they are not retired. I had a PC once who took his first biggish haul and opened up a shop that sold eclectic goods. I hired people to run it while we were away and paid well to inspire loyalty(less theft). They bought and sold items to make money, but I also used it to sell the magic items and goods that we acquired adventuring. I mean, why sell to a merchant for half-price when I could sell it through my store and get full price(minus shop expenses)? Again, we're on the same page here. Yeah. Spellcasters are fairly rare in my game. If the PCs go to the main temple in the entire Forgotten Realms for a major deity, the high priest will be a cleric with double digit levels(or the 5e stat block equivalent), and there will probably be 3-6 more clerics there of lower levels. A lesser major temple's high priest MIGHT have low double digit levels(or 5e stat block equivalent) and 1-3 lower clerics. A medium temple probably has 1 single digit level cleric and MAYBE 1 other cleric there. Shrines and lesser temples may not have a cleric at all. Acolyte background priests are 99% of the priesthood. Wizards are similarly limited in number, and sorcerers rarer than that since they are bloodline related. [/QUOTE]
