Inheritance
Faced with the possibility of character death, players may wish to create a will for their characters, to leave wealth behind for an heir. If the referee allows this, the following stipulations apply:
- Tax: Any treasure left as an inheritance will be taxed at 10%.
- Heir: The heir must be a newly created character of 1st level.
- Once only: Inheritance may only be left once by each player.
Domains
When characters have amassed sufficient wealth, they will often wish to construct a base or stronghold and possibly found a domain.
See Strongholds for full rules on building a stronghold and founding a domain.
