It seem to me that offering personal wealth wouldn't really require an action. Actions affect things on a domain level, so once you've conducted a finance action you've moved GB from a domain to a personal level which your regent can manipulate personally.

I.E. You convert 1 GB into 10,000 gp, then your regent buys an expensive painting or something and brings it with her to give it as a present.

Or so I see it :)

Well, not all actions affect domains (for example, character actions like training or adventure). However sending personal gifts should not take a considerable part of a regent's time & effort. More like a free action I guess..

Domain level game.  Send a nice little dispatch, describe what you are sending, send a GB and call it done?

Gifts on this level are often symbolic, or filled with historic significance, more than anything else.  Two once-enemies might give one another the blades their fathers wielded in battle against each other, or Queen Swordwraith give the Swordmage a staff cut from a great-tree deep in the Erebannien.  A minor holy item of Cuiracean or such.  Things like that.

There's also the opportunity to send a message at the same time.  An enemy of Roesone could send him the "gift" of a banner of his armies that had been captured and taken as a trophy a generation ago - technically a fine gift, but one that quietly mocks his abilities in battle.  There's almost endless possibilities if you're inventive ;)

Very good idea with the banners, Bobby..  :)

Unfortunately no one's ever captured one of ours ;)
