Dragon Hoard Idea
I had an interesting thought about dragon hoards - what if dragons are a kind of "lucre spirit" that can directly augment their personal power using nearby wealth?
Since this is very similar in principle to power items, I'd start with "A dragon gets bonus abilities worth CP equal to the value of its entire hoard as a power item." |

Re: Dragon Hoard Idea
I knew an AD&D DM who had abolished experience for money, like most people with any sense. Except for dragons. They got experience for money, as long as they kept the money.

The Hoard is a Power Item so they have a lot of extra FP. And additional abilities with a modifier that merges Accessibility (see Anchor if you have a book) and Attracts Threats.

Specifics of implementation could be improved, but the concept wasn't terribad. It breaks down rapidly when you consider goals that aren't actually related to money of course, and going to "experience for overcoming challenges" is just way more flexible with less hacks.

I keep trying to think of ways to get $-for-CP into DFRPG, but can't quite get a good implementation. Last edited by Rasputin; 08-08-2019 at 03:21 PM. Reason: bringing this back to DFRPG |
