Trading Dots for Cash
Players and Storytellers will both want to make use of actual monetary values from time to time instead of Resources dots. It is difficult to translate Resources into specific amounts of cash, since Resources is, by design, not a linear progression. The level of financial capability between one dot and the next is a significant order of growing wealth and power.
For each character in her series, the Storyteller should make a determination of what form the character's wealth takes, whether it's jade, jade scrip, silver or some other form. The division will be primarily between jade and jade scrip on the one hand and silver or cowries on the other, depending on where the characters are and what their attitudes toward the Realm are. This book assumes that characters with four or five dots in Resources are not going to be using jade scrip, but you may make other choices about how jade scrip is used in your Exalted game.
The following correspondences provide a rough guide to translating Resources dots into cash in the three main money-systems.
| Resources | Cash Equivalent |
|---|---|
| X | Jade: less than 2 obols of income a year Jade scrip: less than 16 koku a year Silver: less than 20 dinars a year |
| • | Jade: less than 1 mina of income a year Jade scrip: less than 64 koku a year Silver: less than 60 dinars a year |
| •• | Jade: less than 1 shekel of income a year Jade scrip: less than 128 koku a year Silver: less than 100 dinars annually |
| ••• | Jade: less than 1 talent of income a year Jade scrip: less than 8,000 koku a year. Silver: less than 5 talents a year |
| •••• | Jade: 4 to 6 talents a year Jade scrip: 16,000 to 50,000 koku a year Silver: 20 to 30 talents a year |
| ••••• | Jade 12 or more talents annually Jade scrip: 96,000 or more koku a year Silver: 60 or more talents a year |
