See, this is my problem with this derisive "well, if you are playing DnD you won't-" If the point of the game is to make money, say by being hired to go and clear out a cave of monsters, then yes, my character would seek to continue making money. That is what you said my goal is. If the point of the game isn't to make money but to deal with "PLOT A" then... if I have the downtime and my character wants to make a lot of money, who cares? The motivation for "PLOT A" isn't that we are getting paid a lot of money to go and do it, there are other hooks and those hooks are equally effective. But, these sort of "clever players will try to use this, but we are playing DnD not Booboos and Bedsheets, or Taxes and Spreadsheets, or Lawyers and Accountants" excuses rely on assuming that the players will abandon everything else to pursue the sole goal of using this item to make money. I don't need that item to make money. I can do that as a character. I can do it rather trivially. If you don't want me to just sit around making money, then don't tell me the point of your game is for me to go out and make money.</blockquote>
