Dreaded-Big-Table-wise (actually not THAT big),

if Old Wealth = X
and Added Wealth = Y

New Wealth Z should (mathematically) be calculated according to the difference between X and Y, and not the absolute value of Y.

Another basic principle :

If (X - Y) = 10 or more, Z = X
(Unless Narrator LETS you spend a HP for +1 Wealth)

So :

(X - Y) : Z

  10+     :     X    (negligeable added Wealth)
   9      :   X + 1
 7 - 8    :   X + 2
 4 - 6    :   X + 3
 1 - 3    :   X + 4
   0      :   X + 5


-1 - -3   :   X + 6

-4 - -6   :   X + 7

-7 - -8   :   X + 8

  -9      :   X + 9
 -10 >    :     Y    (negligeable original Wealth)


It's easy, but also has some clunkiness about it, and doesn't handle the

problem like an augment, but it's a table that could be used for several other HW purposes IMO.
