tl;dr I joined a campaign that said it would be using ultimate campaign, I made a character predicating on there being a huge money sink, DM is banning ultimate campaign.
So like the tl;dr says, Initially the campaign was going to be ultimate campaign with huge player freedom, there being 3 parties of 4-6 each in the same world. Undead, leadership, even becoming a vampire or lich was allowed. I wanted to focus on the kingdom building and business running aspect, which is a huge money sink. Even a single basic building is 3-5k on up, and kingdom building you need 50-100k just to get started, with larger capital infusions often being necessary.
So my character took focused worker->focused overseer, and craft wonderous items. Focused overseer essentially gives me a 50% discount on buying/earning magic capital If I spend a day of downtime to do it. Magic capital is, it essentially counts as 100gp for magic related purposes, or you can spend it to get a +1 each on certain checks. You can earn capital by spending downtime to do work, usually take 10 on a skill check, and be able to essentially buy 2-4 each day at 50% the purchase cost. Recap, normal is 50/100 gp to buy, and it counts as 100gp, mine is 25/50 gp to buy, and it still counts as 100gp.
My plan was to use magic capital to pay the crafting cost of magic items (explicitly used as an example of how you can spend capital) for about 1/2 to 1/4 of normal crafting cost, use them a bit, then sell them for profit to start accruing the money to do the ultimate campaign rules. Was also planning on making some normally prohibitively expensive but 'fun' magic items, like a set of magic items market price 16,500 to have a fast horse and carriage that can go over water (we are based in a massive swamp) (horseshoes of the zephyr + similar on cart + horseshoes of speed) being the one I discussed with the gm.
So first session, all goes well, and then a few days later gm says he is banning ultimate campaign for being too much work.
Which, ultimate campaign isn't some fringe rulebook that I asked if I could use, It is included in the player rules channel on the discord with paragraphs of text. in regards to balance during combat, I am still keeping to wbl, even with crafting the market price of my character matches normal wbl.
in short, the f*k? Any advice or feedback?
