Accumulate Prosperity Resistance as you buy things, stay in inns, carouse, etc. 1. When you leave Town, subtract the accumulated Prosperity Resistance from your Prosperity skill score (CHA). 2. Selling loot can soften the blow: roll its die (d4, d6, d8, etc.) and add the result to the adjusted score before you roll. 3. Make a Prosperity Check: roll d20 ≤ the modified score.
