Your character doesn't. The End"  Which everyone was fine with, cause just explaining the plan had taken waaay to long.It'd be awesome if players didn't have treasuries rivaling large city states though.  I mean honestly, I live in one of the  poorest US cities with 1/3 of its population living below the poverty line, but even then I'm thinking even the richest people in the world would be hard pressed to buy every chair within 50mi of buffalo or some other equally common item.  AND unlike dnd most of them have their wealth tied up somehow, while PC's just lug it around in the form of WMDs and cold hard cash.EDIT: Also seeing the tidbits of info from the pdf's made me cave and go buy KOtS, which we're gonna play tonight probably.  I know its just pregens, but a few of my friends have actually stuck with pregens later into a campaign proper so, if you could maybe.. uhh... fix the dnd economy by say 6pm EST when I run that would be REALLY swell <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  then if they keep playing they won't be richer than everyone else if/when we do start playing an actual campaign.</blockquote>
