Notes on methodology:
- This uses the "arithmetic" approach, where each level adds (current level) * 1000 gp to the total
- this has been mathematically shown to be virtually identical to a square growth function over 20 levels, but with much easier math.
- oddly enough, the official wealth chart of 3e (on which the system 6 chart was based) follows the same curve for almost 10 levels, then ramps way the hell up for no reason
- thus, this curve is as similar as possible to legacy d&d, while also being mathematically predictable, easy for humans to parse, and more reasonable over 20 levels.
