For level 2 what amount of gold would you reccommend to carry around. My character has 7 strength so it's quite a balancing act just to be able to carry equipment he might need to use in combat unecumbered, let alone any food or sleeping stuff etc.
I had been thinking maybe 100g should suffice, but if I can get away with having just 50g that might be good haha.
A compromise could be having anything combat related on my character in pockets and stuff (explorer's outfit is described as having a lot, obviouslt within reason) and dumping the (mw) backpack as needed.
Things like flasks of oil and tanglefoot bags though seem to be unreasonably large and heavy to be just going around with them in your pockets, especially if you're such a weakling anyway haha.
Going to acquire a wand of ant haul or ideally muleback cords asap
What do people think?
Well minimally you can carry what 23lbs? Assuming 50gp=1lb(http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final). Thats 1150gp for your minimal encumberance. Depending on how much gear you have you could potentially carry about 500 with you. I could be wrong(seeing as how I'm terrible with math), but it's really up to what else you wanna carry.
Also muleback cords are excellent.
Master work backpack (4lbs) actually takes up one more pound than it gives me the ability to carry, realistically it's needed though so I'd rather not drop it. Carrying all this in pockets would be silly
So he's got
Money 50g 1.14lbs
Oil 1lbs
Spell component pouch 2 lbs
tanglefoot bad x2 8lbs
spring loaded wrist sheath x 2 21bs
20 bolts 2lbs
light crossbow 4lbs
haramaki 1lbs
which comes to 25.14lbs with the mw backpack
There's some other small things I'd like to grab, but if 50g is likely to be problematic then I'm going to have to skip it haha
Make friends with a dwarf, buy him those cords of the mule.
Heh, I would but it can change. I need to be able to carry a bare minimum and still be set as last session there was no one who could carry anything for me (I actually have 40 bolts I could be carrying) but the previous session there was.
Back to the question though, am I going to have problems if I only carry 50g on my character during a session?
Where else would you keep your money? Do you have a storehouse in game for it? The only issue I would see is you wouldn't be able to buy things :P.
I only have 50g on the character at the moment because I'm figuring he has left it with family or some other kind of bank system. Not being able to buy things is what I'm worried about. Largely wondering what the minimum crucial to carry for level 2 might be for pfs sessions haha. If it is more than 50g I will have to drop some stuff and bump it up haha
You could use platinum coins or buy gemstones instead, which can have significantly higher value, while weighing less.
Generelly I expect characters at higher levels to have significant portions of their wealth tied up in something else than coins.
In PFS I've not seen anything in game that costs more than 100 gold being forced on a player. Only thing that cost more is we took time to have a dead player raised, but that was at much higher level and everybody has storage devices at that level (or they should).
Convert some of your money to plat, its what its there for. Similar to carrying 100 dollar bills instead of quarters.
If you're willing to give up your shoulder slot, Muleback Cords are your friend.
