Wedding gifts

[X-Roesone/ARR (Robert)]

What is the "official custom" in Anuire regarding wedding gifts to one's liege, especially when it comes to vassals?

[DM B]

What do you mean exactly? The value of said gifts?

[X-Roesone/ARR (Robert)]

Whether they're supposed to give them and their value, yes.

[DM B]

Something in the vicinity of their seasonal tribute would be appropriate.

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

Something in the vicinity of their seasonal tribute would be appropriate.

Meaning they effectively pay double tithe the seaon of the wedding or that they give no gifts as they pay tithe?

[X-Roesone/ARR (Robert)]

Hehe, it wouldn't be gifts if they only paid the tithe.. Besides, a ruler doesn't marry too often in his life, and if he did I think they'd let him know they already fulfilled their duty to "his" generation

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

What about regents giving gifts?

I'm still a litle peeved that it costs 1 GB to even give money, in addition, the action to do so costs 1 GB to even have (1 GB pr. court level), so before gift is transferred, you've already spent 2 GB on nothing!

It doesn't; grants have no base cost. 1Gb spent is 1 Gb given.

Why not give a 'RP' amount if it's just playing nice to someone? i.e. give less than a GB?  I expect that Robhan routinely gives charity to petitioners in copper and silver, gifts of sliver and gold to craftsmen and so on up the chain.

Also the DO seems to handle fractions of a GB easily, although you may come over as a cheapskate if they expected a full GB...

A GB is an AWESOME amount of gold, something like 75,000+ silver or gold pieces.  Giving a little here or there, doesn't constitute a 'domain-level' effect in my mind. It is more of an RP thing.

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

I thought 1 GB is worth something like 5k-10k gold pieces. Much less than the 75k Alan mentions

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

Whom would recieve the wedding gift? Roesone and Tornilen or the regents. And if one of the realms then witch? GB's will be used by the regents at a domain level and as such no GB gift will ever be personal or saved and treasured by the happy couple.

I think it more apropiate to convert the GB's to personal wealth and give it as such. Perhaps in the form of paintings or statuettes.

one GB is 10.000 GP or 100.000 SP or 1.000.000 CP (Atleast that is how I have read it)

so a pile of 75.000+ mixed silver and gold coins would be possible.
[Edit to include the last line]

[X-Roesone/ARR (Robert)]

1GB = 5,000gp with purchasing power of 10,000 D&D gp so a Staff of Power would cost 21 GB, a Staff of Healing 2.7GB etc

If someone were actually selling that is

But the normal denomination in RoE is sp, I think.  Hence 75,000+

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

what action would it be to give personal wealth?
