Aug 04, 2010 12:29:04 I'm running a campaign that has very few magic items, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do with all of the gold my party has.

One idea I had was to allow players to buy Feats for their characters (i.e., buy special training) for a level-appropriate amound of gold (e.g. training = value of a basic magic item 3 levels higher than the players current level.

Thoughts?

Maybe do the same for skills, giving a +2 to a trained skill for the same cost?

You could even make it so they have to find specific people and places willing give out training. But I don't see how that is an unreasonable idea and I like it. I'm gonna have to remember that for when I play.
