What’s the purpose of happening quests and hoarding gold if you happen to’re not going to spend it on one thing superior—listed below are some nice methods to lay our a fortune.

Alright people, let’s speak about rewards. You put in all that onerous work in not setting the marketing campaign on hearth, really following by means of on the clues/goals/pleas for assist that your GM has thrown at you and ending the quests set out earlier than you. And this time you managed to cease the Paladin earlier than they may say “Hard work is its own reward,” so now you’ve received a pile of gold. For as soon as. What are you going to do with it?

And earlier than you say purchase magic weapons and gadgets–that’s simply capturing your self within the foot pals. Those are already on the random treasure tables. And in case your GM isn’t utilizing these, they’ll most likely get annoyed with fights towards monsters “resistant to nonmagical damage” taking endlessly and begin throwing them your method.

Also you’re simply shopping for stuff to do extra work–you earned these GP, SP, CP, and in sure states, EP. Spend them on one thing price having. Don’t simply spend money on making the following dungeon crawl simpler, you don’t really want that plus one when your Cleric can forged Bless and your Wizard can forged fireball. If you’re gonna make investments, on the very least purchase one thing price investing in. So cease being boring, and spend your fictional cash on one thing wonderful–as a result of in actual life you’ll be able to’t simply purchase a citadel.

Home Base

You can’t simply purchase a citadel in actual life, however you’ll be able to in D&D. It’s not even that costly, comparatively. Even if it’s not a citadel, each adventuring social gathering ought to have a headquarters at some type, even when it’s only a room on the seedy tavern they put aside for you. Maybe you’ll be able to lastly maintain these priceless artwork objects you retain discovering–put them on show and make these nobles envious. Whatever you do, actually try to make it your individual.

Get one thing customized made

If you’re something like most gamers, you’ve most likely spent some time occupied with how your character appears. Unless you view your character as an array of ever rising stats, you must differ up their iconic look. Buy some noble garments. The 200gp type. As Adam Ant would say, spend your money on wanting flash and grabbing your consideration.

A private band, herald, retinue

Okay. Let’s discuss hirelings. Now, you’ll be able to have torchbearers and trapfinders and so forth (although we keep each hireling is a trapfinder with the correct angle). But why not rent a Bard to sing your heroic deeds. Or a herald to announce your at court docket. Or a devoted alchemist or herbalist. Forget going to retailers, put one on retainer and set them up in your base, and have a unusual NPC you’ll be able to know and love.

Transportation

If Ghosts of Saltmarsh had proved something, it’s that D&D is healthier when you’ve gotten a ship. So get a ship. Or a wagon to haul issues round–or persuade your DM to allow you to put wheels in your boat and have two modes of transportation in a single. No extra Fantasy Lyft on your social gathering.

Buy your method into Nobility

Also, of you actually wanna stir some issues up, ask your DM (or no matter NPC is in energy) what it takes to purchase your method onto court docket. After all, individuals did that on a regular basis. With sufficient gold you are able to do something, and the longer you sit on it, the extra stagnant your fantasy financial system turns into. So get on the market and spend wildly irresponsible quantities of gold on equally irresponsible issues.

And then tell us what your favourite factor to spend gold on is within the feedback!
