Tweaking Wealth

[Morrus]

I've been tweaking the WOIN wealth system (AS that section is being laid out... ugh!)

This makes REP more important. Any thoughts? You get starting money plus one large asset.

It's a very interesting idea but I know that some players would have a problem with the fact that having no REP essentially makes you poor. I suppose if you were running a campaign that didn't use REP and changed it to WEALTH then it might work but I get the feeling that players would then want to know how to raise the attribute more since they would be stuck at their rank from character creation.

REP has always determined starting wealth. It's just the amounts that have changed.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were changing about wealth then. I thought after reading this that all wealth (as in during the game as well) would be based off REP in both versions. So in the first version the only difference is that you gain a fixed amount of starting wealth based on your REP attribute instead of a rolled amount? Does that mean there will be more ways to gain wealth during creation then?

That's just starting money. After that you acquire treasure normally. Though there's an optional rule at the bottom of the page for a d20 Modern style wealth system.

A few career exploits grant extra wealth, too.

Ok awesome. This is really great then. I'll test it out with my group and see what their feedback is.
