Hi folks, I had a couple questions I was hoping you could help me with.
First question:
I've been trying to figure out how much money to be handing out to players, but I haven't found anywhere stating a good rate to give out cash. I don't want to be too stingy but I don't wanna overload my players in cash and all of a sudden they are loaded and are buying platemail...but I do want my players to "upgrade" gear, etc at a certain rate...
One example that comes to mind is a player-made adventure where the hook NPC offers players 20 gold for some random investigate the evil task, which I thought was a ton.
My players just recently finished Eye for an Eye, and I had Lord Aschaffenberg give each a gold coin for their troubles. I have no idea if that's too much or too little for essentially saving him from a chaos cult living in his basement.
How do you manage monetary rewards in your game, and what do you think is reasonable to hand out?
Secondly, I have a player in my group playing a High Elf Envoy, and I've been having a difficult time thinking of motivations for her to be in Reikland, and to be adventuring. I'm not that familiar with all the lore, and wasn't even really sure what the elves were doing in Reikland. I know that the elves are important in regards to teaching humans wizardry, but apart from that what else do they do? Are they selling goods (fancy jewelery?) Are they trying to claim lands? I just don't have a very good idea for what high elves are doing in the Empire.
My party is a priest of sigmar, a dwarf thug and a dwarf slayer as well, which makes it harder to balance combat & social aspects. What I ended up doing with her was stating that her superiors sent her to the Empire to observe the Cult of Sigmar and see how they're doing to combat the forces of Chaos, with the logic that if the Empire falls to chaos, the elves are next. So she doesn't really have a good reason to be here, besides the fact that her superiors assigned her to watch this priest of sigmar, and I'd like to give her more motivation besides that.
