When I first played Dungeons & Dragons 3.0 I thought I read somewhere in the PHB or DMG that you could give up 1/3 of your starting gold or something like that to gain a +1 ability bonus, I am playing in anew campiagn and that thought just dawned on me. Am I right or just going crazy?

Never heard of such a thing. If you think about it, who wouldn't take that?

25 gold for a permanent +1 ability score? Seriously, there is no comparison of such a paltry amount of money to an ability score increase.

You are correct.
You are insane.

I don't think you are insane. Just very, very wrong.

"Maybe"?

Maybe???

Aren't you a DM?

All DMs are frakking off their looney rockers. All of them.

Depends on the level. a Level 10 Wizard could give up 1/3rd money for a scroll of wish (cost 28 k) to gain +1 inherent bonus. Heck, he might as well get 3 (inherent bonuses don't stack unless you use them right after each other).

But not anything else. I liked the 3.0 Aristocrat though: double starting money (doesn't specify which level so double each level's money, w00t). 3.5 Aristo only had more 1st level.

Ah, come on now people.

Al that needs to be said is:

Nope, there is no official rule like that.
It must have either been a Houserule or a third party rule/variant.
