[QUOTE="billd91, post: 6286895, member: 3400"] If you're going to have a pirate-themed campaign (in which the PCs could end up in control of a ship), then you're pretty obviously going to ignore wealth by level guidelines for some things, particularly things like bulk cargo that will make up a lot of the plunder and the ship. But then, lots of campaigns do this with elements that are central to the campaign. How much sense would it make to apply WBL limits to PCs when the campaign is based on them defending a castle or other outpost? Presuming them to be in leadership positions (as PCs, they're the protagonists), that puts a lot of the castle's resources at their command. But how much castle can their WBL afford? Not very much. So the campaign doesn't figure the castle into the WBL calculations. Honestly, if the core rules are limiting you from playing the campaign you want to play, then you're making poor use of the rules.
