Ah, once again we agree without seeming to.

I wasn't meaning to suggest that someone with wealth 20 had exactly one cow, or the equivalent in the culture of your choice. More that one cow 'relates' to 20 wealth - in the manner you mentioned, and also for ideas of whether there were enough cows to increase your wealth significantly.

You are, of course, correct about the meaning of wealth on the character sheet.

Cheers,
Graham
