Re: Being rich without being Wealthy
Perhaps we ought examine the feasibility of decoupling Wealth into it's components and buy them all separately
Starting Cash Fixed (non-adventuring) Property Income Status Liquidity Duty (job, doesn't get paid if doesn't perform) somehting else I can't put my finger on at the moment Buy as much fixed property and starting cash as is appropriate to your lifestyle in whatever proportion you like. Make any status bonus a function of visible expenditure and not 'wealth level' Balance some incomes with the Job duty, you can tweak that duty to represent the increased/lessened time at work mentoined in the wealth templates if you feel it's appropriate. (I've always wondered how guys who work scant hours got to be multi-millioaires in the first place.) If you want to have your fixed property be very liquid (e.g stocks vice a manor house) you could pay a premium for it by charging different cp/$ for more 'useful' types of wealth. I think Pyramid did an article on something like this but don't have time to look it up right now. What do you think?

There are also social ramifications to being such a wanderer. You might be a knight (high status), but if you don't have lands and aren't attached to a household, you're an outsider to most of the 'quality' people.
