[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6234981, member: 2518"] This is probably the core sentence in your post. You want to play a predefined story where the PCs follow a plot to its grand finale. But not every player wants something like this. Instead they "just" want to play their character and have him interact with a world and the world with him, unconstrained by any pre-planned plot. A life simulator so to speak. And as with every simulator, the last thing you need is someone who arbitrarily changes the rules, even when the change benefits you. For such people you basically giving them a temple is equally bad as you telling them they can never have it. What they want is to earn the temple through their actions without any PC bonus. And to make this interaction fair the price of the temple needs to be fixed and predetermined, either beforehand or based on rules as otherwise it always comes down to "do I want the PC to have the temple or not" when making up the price on the spot.
