[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 9316165, member: 27957"] The way I see it, if the PC goes through a process of Participate In Epic Adventure -> [Middle Step] -> Obtain Swank +3 Sword, it doesn't really matter what that Middle Step is. It can be "looted from an ancient tomb" or "received as a reward from a grateful king", or you can add an additional step where you got cash money from the tomb or king and used that to turn around and buy the sword. The extra step doesn't devalue the end result as long the proximate cause was still going on an epic adventure. So it doesn't matter if your +3 Sword of Awesomeness came out of the king's treasure vault as a reward, out of a deadly dungeon as loot, fresh out of an artificer's workshop because you slew a dire skogg and brought back its magical gizzard, or from another adventurer who's retiring and cashing out their gear. If you're getting the gold to buy the gear by being an adventurer, it's still fairly earned. [/QUOTE]
