[WFRP4e] Career Trappings

[thedanster7000]

When you change to a new career or advance a level in your current career do you gain the listed class trappings or is their purchase a prerequisite to do so?

Thanks in advance.

In older editions trappings were a prerequisite, IIRC it was partially to limit the more powerful careers (requiring thoudands of GC invested before you could gain significant magical or political power). That's no longer the case, Trappings now just being a word for 'belongings', although a Wizard Lord without a library and gullible smuckapprentice or a Magnate without any land will be looked at strangely. So I'd say that a GM requiring you to have the trappings before you can advance is completely legitimate, but it's not RAW.
