And this sounds like a social problem: the DM has an idea about how things should go that doesn't match your own. I know it sounds cliche, but the way to deal with this is to talk about it. Bring it up OOC: "Hey, do you not want my character to earn extra money for some reason? It's easy for him to do so with his skills and magic and I'd like him to have extra cash." It really is trivially easy to get cash at high levels, and that can break the game (and the imaginary economy). I think it's alright for a GM to say that you can't use some rule exploit to get rich quick because the game's balanced around a certain amount of cash and he wants you to be in line with the wealth-by-level guidelines. In my eyes, that attitude's no worse than disallowing the spiked chain or Pun-Pun even if they're kosher under the RAW. It's no worse that not allowing some behavior to happen in game even if it's in character (the traditional examples are disgusting stuff like rape and torture, which are in character for some PCs, but I'm still not going to put up with 'em in my games.) The problem is in expressing it.So my advice is to talk about it like people. Not confrontationally, not in character, and not in terms of what anyone's rights are. But in terms of why he's doing what he's doing, why you're doing what you're doing, and what you both want from the game.</blockquote>
