[QUOTE="Deathwyrm, post: 8398337, member: 56957"] Requisition/stipends has not been an issue so far (nearly done book 7), but I've also just let them have wealth by level subtract the previous level of GP and call that their salary and incentive not to be murderhobos. 1st level, everyone started with 240gp. That represented cash on hand, float for bribes, and they could spend it on equipment through an RHC quartermaster NPC.
