[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3187449, member: 2067"] There's a miscommunication, here. Why do you need to make some coin? How have you made gold before? Are you around where you should be by wealth for your level? Can you afford to buy the potions and wands and sleep at a decent inn? I mean, I'll let PC's earn a it of scratch on the side -- a few gp here and there from businesses or Perform checks. But they aren't going to pull in "I can afford a Rod of Lordly Might" gp for it. For that, they need to adventure. Because the big money lays in piles with dragons atop it. At this level, all selling your services can bring you is enough to get a few inn rooms for free. To keep up with the kinds of challenges you'll be facing, you'll need a lot more gold than making magic walls in Podunk can get you. You'll need the kind of gold you need to risk your life for. After all, this isn't Sim Fantasy Business. This is D&D. IMC, the other players would probably tell you to stop wasting time and start saving the world. As long as you're living a somewhat-high-life like a mid-to-high level character would, you don't need any economic sidetreks to keep you in glit. Of course, if it's part of your character concept, that's a bit different. But if it's just a means to make gold, stop twiddling your thumbs for pay and start slaying villains and taking their holdings. :) [/QUOTE]
