[QUOTE="thunktanker, post: 6317202, member: 6777051"] I think I will institute a system where I beef up penalties for having a lot of loose change (weight, initiative penalty, ect), but at the same time include a probability that coins fall out of your pocket. Examples: Player: "My character tries to sneak up on the troll." Me: "How much loose change do you have?" Player: "5 silver pieces." Me: "Sorry, your loose change jingles, the troll hears you, whirls around, and chops your head off. You're dead." Player: "That sucks." Me: "You should have traded in your loose silver for 1 electrum piece. What were you thinking?" OR Player: "My character chooses to buy the magic maul of garden gnome bashing." Me: "I'm sorry, but while you were riding your horse, one of your coins fell out of your pocket." Player: "But I only had one coin, 1 electrum, after that fiasco where my last character died sneaking up on a troll and my loose change jingled." Me: "Sorry, you lost your 1 coin." Player: "Are you kidding me?" Me: "Nope. You should have exchanged your 1 electrum for 5 silver instead." Player: "This is dumb." Me: "Who's the dummy that put all their eggs in one electrum basket?" Take that stupid players. Now you have to choose between the disadvantages of having too much change and the disadvantages of having too little. You lose either way! And when players lose, DM's win. brahahahahaha. Yes, I'm kidding. [/QUOTE]
