Infinite money...


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So, what would your charecter (non-caster) do if he had Infinate gold or near Infinate gold?

He would learn how to spell infinite. Also buy a castle made out of live monkeys.


I knew It looked wrong!

Hire a team of rouges to steal me even more infinate amounts of money, as I screamed "To Infinaty and beyond!" from atop my Simian Wonder Castle.

On a serious note, I'd get the absolute best magical gear in the game, hire the best army money could buy, and just start going around killing evil leaders and installing puppet regimes in their places, with agendas more amenable to my own plans.

If you have infinite money,

Rule 1: DON'T LET ANYONE FIND OUT

Rule 2: Don't crash the local economy. See Rule 1.


1. Make an infinite demi-plane
2.make a item of fire immunity and deck myself with neckless of fireballs

well.. see. first I'd make a room 2xInfinite in size, thats taller than it is wide so there'd be a good bit of space in the room between the top of the gold and the ceiling..

Then I'd install myself a diving board.. and.. well.. yeah.

Swim in it :)

effectively infinite money...
i'd use it to buy hell, then turn the entire plane into a tax haven.
then i'd lease it back to the devils (at a reasonable rate) except for the ice layers, which i'd turn into upmarket ski resorts.
after that i think i'd donate the national income of a large country to an opera house, provided they put a big plaque with my name on it right over the entrance.
then i'd invest in dragons, a safe investment with good potentual for long term growth.
I might buy a country or two, as the fancy takes me.
i'd get a three hundred foot tall statue of me, made from solid gold, and that would be the entry statement for my impregnable castle. and let's face it, with that much cash invested in it it'll be pretty damn impregnable.
then i'd probably build a massive hole in the ground. just 'cause i can.


My character?

As above - he would NOT tell anyone he had infinite money.
It would attract too much negative attention, and his good deeds require non-interference.
[Space for list]

  • First, he would gradually build an orphanage in every town and hire staff to look after the children.
  • Second, he would hire overseers to visit each orphanage once a week to ensure the orphanages were being looked after properly.
  • Third, he would hire supervisors to watch the overseers to make sure they were watching the orphanages properly.
  • Fourth, he would hire managers to watch the supervisors.
  • Fifth, he would hire an entire church of diviners to keep an eye on everyone.
  • Sixth, he would build a college of wizards so he could scry on any orphanage at any time, and teleport there at will.
  • Seventh, he would lay the smackdown on anyone caught misbehaving in any of his orphanages.

Once he was satisfied that the orphanages were sufficiently policed, he would rinse and repeat, this time with poorhouses. Then nursing homes. You get the picture.

I think with infinite wealth comes infinite responsibility so it would require no great stretch to say that his god would probably allow him to be reincarnated forever so that the balance of power never shifted.

I'd also tell the GM that character was now an NPC and I was rolling a new one, as I don't want to play Orphanage Sim 2012. Paladins ftw.

The same thing we do every night...try to take over the world.

Treasure Planet!

One giant ball of gold, with seas made from liquid diamonds, plants made from emerald, etc. All with a gaseous platinum atmosphere.

Pay a mage to make it, then watch adventurers die trying to steal pieces of it.


He'd hire someone to cast a bunch of wish spells in succession, using them to wish that he could become a high level caster, while retaining his wealth. He'd also wish for AM BARBARIAN to be his friend and protector.


Less of what to do with infinite monies, more of how to get infinite monies:

My friend told me about a game where they came across an ancient dragon, chained up deep in a dungeon...
They were supposed to do something or other for the dragon or to the dragon.. instead they killed it and spent a couple years (game time) mining out the huge and numerous adamantine chains that held it.

DM just kinda sat there and went "well...s%#+..."

I think that effectively ended their campaign since there wasn't too much of a challenge from then on.

Scarab Sages

What would I do with infinite money? Make a single, sizeable donation to every cause I felt was worthy every 5 years, and maybe start my own, primarily funded by me. As I would be the one running the books, I could always explain where the finances are coming from, as long as I kept things reasonable. The biggest thing to worry about would be inflating the economy, but with limited spending to maximize the good-per-gold piece, I think it'd be possible to find a good balance.


Start making deals with the god/goddess of trade. Everything has a price.

I would cause a great depression by depeciating the value of gold to nothing.


How you get your Infinite money is just as important as what you do with it.
Got lucky, then good at Gambling on my own ability. Then invested in my brothers armor and weapons Bussiness. Then bought out all the Competition. Then bought the mines, and the sports (fighting) arena in the capital city.
I also run (indirectly) a information ring, which sells to the highest bidder, or maby used to blackmail someone.
All of this is done through proxy, alowing me to still fight in the arena.
My home is the backpack i always wear, its the doorway to my personal demiplane.
And thats just gettin started.


Retire.

Create a really large demiplane with its own ecosystem and humanoid peoples. I would make said plane completely self supporting and wield against the world as an Emperor wields a nation.

since all of my latest characters were chaotic evil, they'd probably do exactly what Lexarius said you shouldn't do.

Buy an enormous army...invade Thuvia, assuming Golarion...and then drink sun orchid elixirs until the end of time...

Alternatively, just make a demi-plane and make everything out of gold, add in a few chocolate fountains...and then buy out half the known world and instill a rule that pants are now illegal except for in winter climates...

because you can

alternatively...

create infinite monkeys and have them write a manuscript of Hamlet...

In Golarion, my character would most likely be eventually killed by the Red Mantis assassin.

If it were known that I had infinite money, I would let it be known that I would double the price offered to any assassing sent to kill me in order for them to return home and do in their employers. I would also hire sufficiently tough guards that any assassin who is too "honorable" to accept this offer will regret it for the short amount of time he has left to live.

If it were known you had infinite money, gold would become worthless and people started using something else as currency. No assassins would even bother coming for you.

Ah, but there is a subtle difference between just having infinite money and actually spending it -- and some common sense would have to apply to my offer. If somebody offered a 20th level character a million GP to off my hypothetical character with infinite money, I would have no problem offering him 2 million to kill his employer. On the other hand, if somebody offered a trillion GP for my death, I think I can safely have my hired guards dispose of the fool who is naive enough to believe that anyone would actually pay him that much.

Oh -- I am assuming that I have some way to hide or otherwise prevent easy access to this infinite money supply. After all, if I couldn't do that, then that infinite money isn't really mine after all, is it?


Buy all the adamantium available in all the planes.
Make all the adamantium golems I could.
Create demiplane, eternal, make every square safe one filled with an antimagic field, have all my golems on that plane, attacking anyone who comes near that square.

I'd bribe gods to let me in their exclusive club.
if they've got a problem with that, I'd just rule in my utopian plane or start a war with the gods.

I would sent my adamantine golems to other worlds to steal fertile soil, basic plants and wildlife to expand my demiplane and reduce all others.


What would you do if you had a million gold?

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

That's it? If you had a million gold, you'd do two chicks at the same time?

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

Well, not all chicks.

Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.

Good point.

Well, what about you now? What would you do?

Besides two chicks at the same time?

Well, yeah.

Nothing.

Nothing, huh?

I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.

Well, you don't need a million gold to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do s!&!.

You think the world's economy would knowingly depend on your whim?


Honestly I would follow the demi-plane idea.

I actually have a whole map of a demiplane drawn out in my spiral I use specifically for gaming ideas. The thing is overly thought out down to the city structure for the capital, the structure of the castle in said capital, the defenders of said castle, and the central building in which my character, his cohort, and anything else I want lives.

Not to mention the fact that there are effectively 5 continents and 4 sub demiplanes connected to this one. All sentient creatures are allowed along with any clockworks, golems, vermin, oozes, or anything else that will not topple my LE planet.

I'm not sure how I spent it, I just know that I eventually woke up, naked on a side of the road someplace I didn't know where it was, and a vague memory that I had indeed managed to spend an infinite amount of money somehow.


i would buy the campain world and everything in it ?


Start making loans and buying friends. Make loans to people you want to control, use the friends to make sure they know you want your money back. When they can't pay (which is inevitable given your ability to crush economies) you accept servitude instead.

It's only fair after all.

You're not even all that rich, you earned every penny and only loan out to people who truly need it. At least... that's what all those wealthy bards say.

Who needs a demi-plane? I like the one I'm in just fine.
