[Discuss] Adventurers: Buying Nobility?

[Stacey Auld]

I like these ideas both! Having money and nothing to spend it on but places
to sleep or a cart to travel in, theyre good starts, but also if there are
things like lamps or better food, why couldn't we be able to buy them
somewhere? It might be too complex to start up a store, and end up with
people having way more items than a person oculd logically carry, so instead
maybe a trading post, where you could trade an item you already have for
another category of item, like food, shelter, equipment, and it would be
random which you could get. That way people would still have to gather their
items, but instead of just selling them and being down an item, the vallue
could get a different item of similar value...
Just an idea ^_^

The suggestion of recognition for wealth would be good, too. Maybe just in
places where tariffs are collected during traven, when a wealthy adventurer
pays the fee easily the tollmen would notice and pass it along. Rare items
are ridiculously rare, it would be nice to have another option of how to be
noticed.
