Proposition: Droppable Gold Piles For PCs.

[Calodan]

Exactly what it says. Can it be made so that PCs can drop gold? I would love to be able to just leave little gifts everywhere for other players. Or just be able to burn up unwanted gold for RP reasons or whatnot.

That could be a wonderful setup for a variety of rp scenario's. Both good and evil.

The charitable sort could leave out presents for people, the evil sort could use it as bait to draw out victims and the like.

Or as I would probably do, leave a large treasure somewhere and challenge people to go get it. Then sit back and watch the shenanigans.

more useful for rcr

tho you would have someone who would make a bunch of new characters and take all the gold off of them to pile on someone else

either way its still useful for rcr but it would need to have a level cap or somethin, like be at least 5th level before you could, low enough its not that big of an issue but high enough most wont put in the effort to try to abuse it

[Calodan]

Is this a simple thing? I mean I have no clue what you all go through to get stuff done around here so I know a simple proposal like this could take a long time to get going but I myself see it as a boon for RP all around.

Yeah I thought about the whole making piles of gold thing but if it were a level thing that would make it okay. Is there a more simple fix that would not take too much to do? Like just remove the gold on start for players and give them a club instead? I mean not like you can do much else other than kill skeletons or bandits to start and that would be easy too.

What about tokens that have no weight and can be bought and sold for the same price (at the BG bank?) and stack up to 99. That way you could buy tokens that are worth, say, 1000gp each, and drop those. Then whoever picks it up can cash it in at the bank for 1000gp.

If done through NPC dialog (and not a store) it won't suffer from appraise skill variations.

Tokens sound like a good one too! I just want more RP possibilities and I really personally feel this would open up all sorts of RP. There are just too many times I feel that being able to this would be beneficial to the server as a whole too.

Call the tokens Baldurian Minted Trade Bars and we'd be all set!

It was done on the Cear server I played on long ago. Gold can be dropped.

But I leave gifts around. It's more fun to leave some items in a low level, with a journal, and some other artifacts, telling the story of a fallen adventurer.
