See, this is a weird dichotomy. Because you are making Money the reward. It is Important.... and then we get complaints on spending it. You can't have a magic item marketplace to spend money on. You can't invest it in businesses. You have to find ways to "waste it" so that the party will go out and do the next adventure for a big reward of gold.... that then many DMs will tell you is worthless because it can't be used to do anything. I'm not saying I agree with them, I can find uses for money as a DM and a player, but I clearly have to go outside of the expected rules to do so. While this is being presented as vitally important to the entire basis of the game. Money is why you adventure, because that is what you are risking your lives for. But if money isn't the point, if it isn't the goal... then it isn't the reward to the risk. It is... incidental. Who cares how much silver and gold the Orc Band was carrying, we didn't fight them for their money, we fought them to save the town where we live and our friends are. The money doesn't matter.But they could have just as easily said "10,000 gp for a flying carpet" and kept all the very rare items within the range. Instead they gave us a range and nothing else to work with. Which, is again, just causing issues for certain DMs who have no basis to figure out where in that massive range they should put the item.</blockquote>
