Regarding: Steal the Gold: Wait, does it even exist, what is it?
I am sure this is common, but a post I made that started off as a rant/opinion generator, revealed a deeper question I wanted answered, however, it took some time to elicit this, so a lot of comments back and forth. It seems there was interest in the question in each of its various forms. However, to an extent, I feel I had gotten some negative reviews based on assumptions from people who had read the original question (in fact one moderator mxyzplk♦ wrote something to the extent of "oh, good for you, getting revenge for your previous question.") That is probably not the case at this point though.
I am recently trying to ask a question regarding gold in roleplaying game, particularly the Dungeons and Dragons games. I was told that it was too broad in scope of editions of the game. However, I feel the only relevant piece of info is that gold adds abilities to your character sheet you can do in a combat round, so it applies to any edition.
Realizing the converse of that, I realize a question on any edition would actually answer my question on all editions, so I am willing to change it to 5e specific.
There are numerous out-dated comments that make it look worse than it is at this point.
Someone referred in comments that my question involved a "step-function," and was black and white, but my question implies that maybe gold is somewhere in between.
And then there is an answer there getting votes, which although has some useful information, is barely relevant to the new question.
Lastly, I actually have an answer to the question. I believe my answer demonstrates that the question can be answered. Sorry for jeopardy, but is it possible to ask, "what is the question that this answer answers?"
I am not sure what to do at this point, is it just locked for too many comments, or did a moderator lock it?
