Wealth Changes March 06

Post by GM_Chris »

The Basics
A person’s wealth is a measure of the amount of the three basic resources (food, supplies, and clothing) that a person possesses at the end of an event (See Resources on page 74). Note that your current wealth is not synonymous with Lifestyle as described above. Your lifestyle is determined by your character’s situation during youth, while wealth is a representation of your character’s current ability to take care of him/herself. The three basic resources are represented by tokens or tags, and a player can fall into one of seven categories of status (see below). The number of required tokens or tags is not synonymous with the quantity of a particular resource (3 food tokens does not mean three meals, 6 clothing tokens do not mean six outfits) but rather the overall quality of the resource (wealthy people eat and dress better than common folk and have better supplies).

What Are the Advantages of Being Wealthy
The advantages of being of a higher wealth level, as well as the requirements to achieve the level, are listed in the chart below. All bonuses gained are cumulative with the levels below it thus a wealthy character would gain +1 combat reflexes, +1 life point, +25% allegiance points, and a floating hero point.

Code:
Status Food Supplies Cloth Bonus
Common 3 2 1 None
Well Off 6 4 2 +1 Combat reflexes (see page $$)
Middle-class 9 6 3 +10% to total allegiance points
Upper Middle Class 12 8 4 +1 Life Point
Upper Class 15 10 5 +10% to total allegiance points
Wealthy 18 12 6 1 Floating Hero Point (See page $$)
