New Pathfinder beta - your opinion wanted!

I think the wealth by level table is sort of the "standard" when designing published adventures. Characters with that much money are at a certain power level, and being under the recommended level of wealth might make such adventurers more difficult then they are expected to be unless the DM mods things down.

As for my games, since I don't run anything but homebrew adventures, I feel fine ignoring the table. Low-wealth/rare magic is sort of built into my campaign.
 
Hello,

The following may belong under 'suggestions for additions' but as it is associated with buying and selling I thought this would be an appropriate location.

The issue I see is not that I have to enter numbers for custom sales price or buying, it is that once done there is no record of what I did to get there. If I 'buy' 5 rusty swords and shields for free because the orcs were carrying them and then sell them at 50% value later but the cash value seems off I have to wonder if I sold them at 0% by mistake or 100% or did I only buy 1 when I meant to buy 5....

Large cash income is called out in the journal section and I can roll back months of adventuring time to see when we cashed in a large horde but not the daily buying and selling. What we have right now is a wallet, what would be nice is a checkbook. I would propose that every buy/sell sends a line to a text file indicating what is bought, when and for how much. This way there is a running tally of
Monday: Buy 10 broken swords -112.5gp (Should have been 0 for found)
Tuesday: Sell 10 swords +75 gp (make a little extra cash at low level with mending spell)
Wait, why do I have LESS money then when I started? Where did I make a mistake?
Wednesday: Journal Entry +112.5gp correction for buying found items.

In an ideal world it would be nice to edit the account book and change -112.5 to 0 and correct the math but even a record of what was bought and sold would be very nice.

(And if you are a DM who does not trust players and how they bought their +5 holy avenger and still have 100,000gp when you haven't given out half that amount you can review their character rather than just kill them off.)

Just a thought.

Sean
