Step 06 Wealth
Introduction
Now, it's time to work out your PCs Wealth! This pretty much does what it says on the tin, it identifies the kind of lifestyle your PC can afford to live - and the amount of disposable income within that. It's worth to note that we strive to make this system as realistic and yet hassle free as possible. But if you're living above your means (which you certainly can... for a while) then you're soon going to be really strapped for cash. Likewise, if you're careful and save your coppers, you'll see the reward.
Record Keeping
Your Wealth Points are recorded in your User Control Panel (UCP) CS in their own ledger in much the same way as Renown. Whenever you are given Wealth Points by a Peer Reviewer or Prophet, they award them to you and they will appear in your UCP. In the UCP go to the "Character" Tab - you'll find Wealth Points there!
If you spend Wealth Points, you should do so in this section of your UCP. You can spend WP without a thread link, but you must identify what you are buying.
In your User Control Panel, in the "Profile" tab, you have a drop down box to identify your Wealth Tier. You must keep this up to date as it is there to help staff and peer reviewers.
Also, where you are accessing items which are limited in number, modified or have some other non-usual aspect to them - you are required to keep them in your CS. There are no exceptions to this.
How Do I Work It Out?
You don't need to worry about it - the person who approves your CS will award you WP on approval. Until then, you can assume that you are the Wealth Tier for your Starter Pack, but can make no purchases. The person approving your CS will:

Once these have been approved, you can spend as many as you like! |
