Starting Money
Everyone begins as 10th level characters. They receive 16000 Gold, as per the guidelines in the PHB.
Currency
1 Gold piece= 1 mark
1 Silver piece = 1 franc
Married Characters
Characters who begin the campaign married are assumed to have gotten additional gifts and/or dowries. You begin the game with a +3 Influence and +5000 Gold Marriage bonus
Your Estate
You also have an estate (called a desmesne) and addiyional lands that you produce 500 Gold/year (taxes will apply) and sufficient food to feed your family and hold one great feast (up to 20 people invited) per year.
Improving Your Desmesne
For every 500 Gold, you may increase the goods produced by 200 Gold and add another 8 people to the annual feast.
For 500 Gold, you may add a knight’s desmesne to yours. Their desmesne only produces 100 Gold and 4 feast-persons/year for you, but the knight is a 5th level retainer and may serve in your stead if you’re called up by the king for military service.
Tournaments/Conclave
It costs 200 Gold/prestigious knight to hold a tournament, however holding tournaments are a good way to increase Standing. Likewise, it costs 200 Gold per wizard or cleric to host a conference or a conclave, but that can increase your Standing as well.
