'''What''' '''else???''' – Try as we may, we will never be able to conceive of all possibilities that our player base may want to try to accomplish and how they may want to put Fortune toward such efforts. To that end, we'll have to handle these sorts of things on a case-by-case basis at first while we try to establish some sort of guidelines. Chances are good that it will be some kind of hybrid of the options given above. '''Up to four characters''' will be allowed to pool their Fortune together for any given project. Characters pooling their Fortune for such a purpose should be associated with the project ''in some way''. There is no set limit as to how much Fortune one character may spend on any single project, assuming the character has Fortune to spend. In some situations, there may be a world-level effort that requires some level of contribution from characters to bring about a certain end. In such cases, there is '''no''' '''limit''' on how many characters can contribute, but again they should be associated with the effort already.

Graceful Pleas – Yes, I said it. You will be able to spend Fortune to buy a Graceful Plea, even if you have used all three for a given character. The cost is high, and rightly so. At present, it will cost 100 Fortune to gain one Graceful Plea. At this level, we estimate a player can make a dedicated effort with a single character and earn enough Fortune within about 6 months. This assumes a certain number of hours per week, of course. If the player attends quests during that time, the time to earn enough points may be shorter, as the rate of earning Fortune on quests is faster than the always-on trickle of Fortune points.[/li][/list]As you can see, there are some very quick and simple benefits to Fortune, but there can also be some very significant benefits to saving one's Fortune points for a greater purpose. The choice is yours to make.
