Reworking Heyday Gifts
by Anarion_ElendiliBECMI Berserker's new video on GAZ 7 is out, and he mentioned that the Heyday Gift is in addition to the starting gold, not a replacement. And sure enough, that is what it says: "Heyday gifts are in addition to any coin that the player character received in the Basic Character Creation procedure."
I admit that I'd be tempted to make it a bit less generous, especially at the lower end, and for simplicity, just replace the Starting Gold as you suggested.
Something like:
| Roll | Social Class | Heyday Gift AKA Starting Gold (min - mean - max) |
| 01 | Rich Noble | 180 + 2d6*10 gp (200 - 250 - 300) |
| 02-04 | Typical Noble | 130 + 2d6*10 gp (150 - 200 - 250) |
| 05-10 | Poor Noble | 80 + 2d6*10 gp (100 - 150 - 200) |
| 11-15 | Rich Freeman | 50 + 2d6*10 gp (70 - 120 - 170) |
| 16-70 | Typical Freeman | 30 + 2d6*10 gp (50 - 100 - 150) |
| 71-85 | Poor Freeman | 10 + 2d6*10 gp (30 - 80 - 130) |
| 86-00 | Serf/Thrall/Vagabond | 10 + 1d6*10 gp (20 - 45 - 70) |
