Money is Currency?

[Aelios]

I discovered that my dissatisfaction with Hero Quest was a misunderstanding, a matter of scale. You don't pay for or purchase any basic equipment at all, up to and including livestock. If it's part of the character's profession it's there. If you need more equipment you can go home and get it or ask one of your relationships to give or lend it to you. Failing all that you can use your Wealth trait to go out and barter for it. Any value that any item has is purely drama. And although you /could/ have Lantern 13, you probably never would unless it was a magical lantern or if the lantern was somehow a plot element. I call it a matter of scale because of the "don't sweat the small stuff" aspect, only important equipment is purchased with Hero Points.
