Status is included in wealth. It includes increased ability to make money and increased cost of living. It's also a bit silly in most societies to "just" be stupidly wealthy without it having any effect on social interactions or placement.
Where are you getting 400 points?

A full suit of plate in the basic set comes out to just over 5,000$

Thats signature gear [11]

For wealth, you'd need Very Wealthy for 30 points nad you'd have enough to buy your own war horse, and hire your own lackey to carry your stuff.


And this is gurps, Status is included in wealth if you want it to be, the same for cost of living.

I dont include cost of living unless my players CHOOSE to take the Status associated for wealth. WHich they never do, because its silly.

If your an adventurer your likely living out of your suitcase, doing adventury stuff.


BTW 11 points is cheap. What would you have to do to buy Damagae resistance of 6 with points only ? Damage Resistance 6 [30]
