Modified Burning Wheel Wealth Changes

Wealth in core Burning Wheel is designed for a low wealth setting, and this emphasis doesn't function in a more egalitarian economy. As such, we've modified the system for this gaming group.

Resources are calculated as normal, however, starting spending money is now calculated as a function of the RP's used to calculate your Resources score. For every fifth RP used to calculate Resources, mark one Tally, then use the following table to calculate your starting Wealth.

Resources, from that point forward, determine your income. Per time unit, gain currency off the following table:

Characters may take out loans at GM discretion. Be wary, these may be used as leverage, and if you do not pay back your loans, your Resources may be Taxed as per the rules to pay interest and principal on your loans! Resources may also be altered on the basis of in game events.

Approximate costs are as follow, other costs are to be pulled from the RP Costs section of the Lifepaths of Man section of the Burning Wheel.
 * Impoverished Lifestyle: 1 Wealth / Cycle
