Starting Wealth & Wealth Points

Abstract vs. Tangible

While much of this game revolves around the concept of streamlining combat and reducing the workload on the players. I also understand that some players are going to prefer a different play style, more old school if you will. For them I have come up with the following…

NOTES:
Backgrounds stack, meaning that the starting money and items add together with the following restrictions…

Ships, Horses, Riding Tack…do NOT stack.

Wealth Points are the character’s salary, these do NOT stack, you take the highest of the two and that is how much income your character generates. Wealth Points are denoted by [1 WP].

The Advantage of Rich and Patron are the only two things that stacks with your background wealth. Patron is worth 1 wealth point.

Each wealth point is equal to 100g per month.

Wealth does NOT evaporate between games!
