Notes
* - A Mistress or Master cannot simply earn money just because they hold that rank. You must have some form of information in your profile as to why you are rich and what keeps that money coming in. Be creative. If your PC has hubby PC or you have multiple pc’s living under the same roof that are of the mistress and master class you still only get 500,000 g’s max to start and still may only make monthly earnings of 10,000 g’s.
A mistress or master if they want, may choose to forgo their monthly stipend of 10,000. An example of this would be: A mistress that works as a top notch spy for the Royalty in charge of the area or mercenary leader for higher, both of which make income by services provided.
** - These paths do not start off with gold nor do they earn it. They may only acquire gold through allowance, gambling, stealing, gift, etc.
Misc. - For the paths that do collect monthly earnings Misc. is acquiring gold through gambling, stealing, gift, bonuses, etc. Misc. earnings are added to your (TG) Total Gold as they occur.
Sales - Sales can only be made to PC’s (Player Character). Sales consists of that which you earn for providing any given product or service. Sales earnings are added to your total as they occur. Obviously, refunds are subtracted from your TG.
Wages - The cost of labour. If you are a Guardian working for a Mistress that just went broke. Guess what? You DO NOT get paid. Ha ha! Look to the rules for further description.
Wages are also variable. Example: If you area a worker who makes a monthly stipend of 10 g’s and your mistress says she will now only pay you 9 g’s, you are out of luck. Your options are to quit and attempt to find a new employer or stay with your cheap mistress. Likewise, your employer may be very generous and may choose to pay you 20 g’s.
Rules: Gold

2. All players are responsible of keep track of their gold expenditures and earnings. It is recommended that you do this on your profile form. (Or we can make a new board for it.)
