NOTE: Very much inspired by the Resources system in Burning Wheel.

I’d give advantage if the character’s background match up with what they are purchasing – knights if they are purchasing armor or horses, spy buying poison, folk hero purchasing rooms or pipeweed in an inn where they were heroic, or a noble purchasing land or title (depending on the nobles’ relationship with money in the setting), etc.

If this looks familiar, I made something just like this for the Thursday Night Game last week but wanted something here that might be more useful. Coins are from the Cleveland Museum of Art.
