Why I think gold should have less uses in 5e, not more.

[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9333266, member: 7044462"] Gold is worthless in 5e after level 2-3. Yes, there are couple of things you can spend it that are usefull for adventuring, but that's it. What's the point of having couple of grands in gold if you can't buy new shiny toys? There is very little interesting things to spend money on in 5e, specially for people not interested in playing "landlords and business owners". I wanna go out, kill things, get cool magic stuff, kill stronger thing. My magic items are my 401k fund. When i decide to build stronghold or run a tavern or fantasy laundromat, i'll sell my stuff. But in tier 2 play, gold is not really issue anymore. You have best non magic gear for your class. You have enough to cover consumables. Anything else is just money sitting around. Last edition in which gold was actually usefull was 3.x/PF1. You beg, borrow, and steal anything that isn't bolted down with adamantium bolts ( sometimes, you pilfer those adamantium bolts too) to get enough cash for those cool new magic items. I had characters with items worth couple hunderd grands. Couple of my caster pc-s became liches ( 100k gold to become the lich) on top of all the magic gizmos. Since we ditched xp use long time ago and switched to milestone leveling, gold for xp is not my bang. [/QUOTE]
