As a derivative question - Jamie J - you mentioned that OMTC shares might be available; how would that work? And if a loan system to PCs is out of the question, what about investment opportunities with NPC businesses? |

Going back to the comment about banking/Safe storage, I did have an idea for how to create a SAFE way to do it, beyond someone just building a warehouse and hiring guards.
Only issue is it requires high level PC's/NPC's to implement and would only be available to important/rich peeps with very specific needs to keep things safe

A "diplomancer" (Wizard diplomat/bureaucrat - imagine a political version of the Iron Bank)

I imagine that would be something to discuss with whoever runs the NPC in question, which will usually be a DM. But we do have to be careful about making extra work for DMs. Have you got something specific in mind? |

Well, and if you cant invest in PCs, you could allow investments with NPCs that offer fixed returns, or RP options to then give some directions to those ventures. I'm just spinning idea-yarn here. |

I meant, what would the benefit of that be? fixed returns on investment? annual dividends? access to contraband from the Shadow Thieves of Amn? |

[Matt Mercer voice] You don't know. 😉 (The financial structure of the OMTC is not widely known in Kantas, so a character would need to ask someone who knows, or do some investigating.) |
