WBL, essential to regulating PCs and trying to reign in some of the crazier ideas they get hold of. But it only seems to apply to their own stuff, further it only seems to really apply to the things they carry around with them, rather than say limiting how many barns full of chickens they can own or whatever.
That being said a good DM has to keep track of off sheet resources, things like communal resources and items, property, stashes of backup equipment, etc...
so I was wondering if there's a standerdized system out there, if there isn't then what people generally think is reasonable. For my self I generally let the "group" own a similar amount to the individual players to cover things like rez resources, group transport, bail bonds, etc. Does this mirror the standerd, or am I way off?
Like wise if the player wants to invest in random crap that doesn't really impact on the game or their choices, like a big fancy wardrobe, a town house, a new wing on the temple, whatever, then I don't factor that into the WBL. Is this also the standerd? should they be rewarded for investing in the local game world? should they have less money to spend on adventuring supplies?
