Editing Delilah House Rules (section)

== Money ==
We won't be keeping strict accounting of cash. However, we can get a fairly general sense of cash on-hand by reference to the Wealth Die. A D0 (neither an asset nor a complication) It is assumed the Ship can spend in the hundreds of credits (up to €1000 buy fuel, food, limited maintenance) and individuals can spend in the tens (up to €100 second hand clothing, snacks, drinks). You CAN spend more, both as a ship and as individuals, but doing so lowers your wealth bracket (effectively putting you into debt) and getting out requires paying that off. <br>
A credit is roughly equivalent to a modern dollar.<br>

*D8 Asset (Flush) ships can spend €100K+
*D6 Asset (Good) ships can spend €10K+
*D4 Asset (Getting by ok) ships can spend €1000+
*D 0 (Times are tough) ship on the edge of debt €100+
*<span style="color:red">D4 Complication </span>(Barely scrapping by) €10+
*<span style="color:red">D6 Complication </span> (Owes favors) €100+
*<span style="color:red">D8 Complication </span> (Big debts) €1000+
*<span style="color:red">D10 Complication </span> (Dangerous Debt) €10k+

If you spend beyond your wealth range. You step down your wealth die.  
In the reverse direction, for every two steps up the money earned gets you, you go up one step of wealth. 
You may notice that is is easier to get to poor in this system than get rich. :( but that when you accept a certain amount of debt, you can spend more freely (until yours debts are called in). As an Asset, the Die can benefit your negotiations, maintenance checks etc.. As a Complication, the opposite. 

The idea is that within a wealth or debt category you can spend in certain amounts before getting worse off. As complications and assets, they can also affect other rolls, when appropriate. 

So, if you are at Asset D6 and spend less than €100K during an adventure, then you stay at that level. If you spend more you go down. Saving money doesn’t make that amount go higher. If you earn money in the €100K range (ex. selling Surf records) that would boost you to D6 where you can spend up to €100K without going down a level. If you spend more. You drop down. 

Voluntary and Involuntary changes.
In addition to voluntarily spending money, sometimes you might get robbed, or have the ship break (maybe as a result of failed rolls) Under those circumstances the Wealth Die might go down involuntarily. Likewise, sometimes you might sell a cargo voluntarily and get cash, OR you might stumble upon an unexpected salvage and get a bonus to your Wealth die that way.
