@TheEdVerse Do you think people in the Realms (players of course), if they hit it big and get lots of wealth, do they need to bump up their lifestyle or risk having there new found wealth confiscated because the local city guard though it likely was stolen?

In most cities in the Realms, folk who get wealthy use their coin for whatever they want to (some become misers, some blow it getting everything they want, some are unaffected) and the city guard and authorities watch but leave them alone. They may watch VERY. …closely if they're suspicious, but most cities thrive on trade, and trade withers in a hurry if merchants, importers, investors, and just plain folks who strike it big think the local authorities are going to grab any wealth they make.

…Silverymoon, and Baldur's Gate, just to name four cities off the top of my head, are places where citizens pride themselves on doing as they please (as much as their coin allows), so NO, they don't need to alter their lifestyle. :} (Thieves watch too, mind you.)#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 15, 2019
