I'll probably spend gold on perfumes and other trade goods, there's not much to do with gold in 5e without it being a plot device of some kind.  That's my experiences with gold so far, that and magic items of any kind are superfulous with all the class skills characters get and by level 5+ getting temporary magic weapons on command.<br/><br/>I'll need a game or two to change my mind, until then Quellest will likely leave 400+ gold behind when she leaves on her adventure.
