[QUOTE="erian_7, post: 1644484, member: 18222"] Vow of Poverty actually requires the person to donate his share of treasure to temples, orders, charitable organizations, the poor, etc. This is spelled out on page 29 in the Tithe and Offerings section ("Some characters are required to [give money from the treasure they acquire]") and on pages 30-31 in the Other Ramifications of Powerty section (""Having a character in the party who has taken a vow of poverty should not necessarily mean that the other party members get bigger shares of treasure! An ascetic character must be as extreme in works of charity as she is in self-denial. The majority of her share of party treasure (or the profits from the sale thereof) should be donated to the needy...") The VoP monk in a game I'm running just donated 6,282 GP to an impoverished village. Playing without this rule would definitely unbalance VoP, and I don't recommend it. It's actually rather fun watching the greedier party members saddness as gobs of money go flying out of the party's control. :) Note this would be a house rule. By the book, a VoP character can only carry simple weapons, clothes he's wearing, a sack, food for one day, and a spell component pouch. A friend can hand him a potion in time of need, but the VoP person cannot carry it around as a matter of course (from the Vow of Poverty feat, page 48). The inconvenience factor of having to have one party member take a potion to the monk and waste that time is an important limitation that I've strictly enforced. Eric [/QUOTE]
