It would have to be a different Wealth system than the one WotC made then, I guess, since it simply makes no sense to me that a Soul uses some of itself to improve upon how wealthy its vessel can be. It either improves itself (magic, skills, and all that), or its vessel (combat abilities, hit points, etc). I guess it depends on how you look at things.I know wealth should most likely be included somehow, for the reasons like the ones you gave, but I'd rather find a different way of doing it.I'm not sure what you mean with this, but I assume you're talking about how U_K rated the character wealth.Do you mean that I could make it so that as the players gain CP, only 4/5th of it is free for them to use? I believe U_K suggested that in one of his earlier replies to me as well, but it didn't help with the problem I have with spending XP/Soul Essence on 'Wealth Allowance'.Since I'd rather work on my spell system, or some other part of my system, I haven't really thought about different ways of working with Character Wealth.Ah right <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Not much into cars, so go figure <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />Yes, the way I had it in the back of my head was to have it free up used CR.A level drain would free up 200 CR that were used on abilities. Since the character needs to spend time to 'use' CR, the player wont be able to reuse the CR on the spot, so it would still have about the same impact on the character while in battle with the creature that drained its level (though the aftereffect is less severe, which is fine with me). This also means that a character could have someone perform level drain on him/her, to be able to change abilities. I don't have clear rules on this though, so I don't yet know how I'd handle something like that.With magic items, I was thinking of having it so that the character who uses the item will need to put CR into the item to activate its powers (which are returned to the character after the item is put away, or something like that).How I'm going to handle the creation of the items, I'm not yet sure. I'm going to focus on the magic system, and then the weapon system, allong with the armor system, before I'm going to look into magic items, I think.Edit: I was just looking through that GURPS lite document, and I had a thought of a way to make things like Wealth work for my psychologically, so to speak. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />I think it would be a nice idea to have something like 'Flavor Points' or something. Things that don't actually change the character's physical or mental aptitude, but do effect the world arround him/her.Things like.. how attractive they are, personality traits, what status/responsibilities they have (cleric, ninja, bodyguard, whatnot), as well as how wealthy they are.I believe D20 Modern uses wealth rules that determine how good the character's economical status is (or however you call that)? Something like.. how much they can afford to spend in a certain period of time.I would probably be able to make something work with something like that as a basis.</blockquote>
