[QUOTE="iwatt, post: 3361978, member: 11085"] I'm basing it on the fact that Wealth is not linear. As I emntioned previously, the wealth system is based on a geomtric progression, based on the fact that a +8 increase in purchase DC implies a x10 cost in $ It's not in the SRD, but it is in the book. IIRC, something with a purchase DC of 10 has a cost of $120 Something with a Purchase DC of 40 has a cost of 700,000 $ A purchase of DC 16 has a cost of 700. That means it's 100 times more expensive, or a +24 increase in DC (16 + 3x8=40). So you casn see why it doesn't work by equally dividing. If you wanted to simulate buying 4 shares, each one would be worth 175,000 $ A purchase of 178 dollars is DC 12. Following the same procedure, the DC for 175000 becomes aproximately 36 (12+3x8 =36). DISCLAIMER: I tuned out a spreadsheet for these numbers, which I have in my computer, so as not to be lugging the book around. I'm not sure if a DC 12 is $178, but it is very close IIRC. [/QUOTE]
