Going for a Midas like thing going on? Would the power be based off greed itself or physical wealth and if its physical does digital count? what do they want this power to do?

Without more context, sounds like a Metamorphosis (Doesn't actually change appearance, Needs no maintenance, AN depends on Wealth AN) or something along those lines. But then again you did say you would rather not go this route.
If you ask me, however, doing this any other way is likely to cause imbalance. The AN should be an indicator as to how much power this might grant, if only because everything is based on ANs/MNs in this game. if you said, say, +1 Character Stone per X amount of $, it would get out of control super fast. Making money isn't hard in a game like this.

ridiculousninja: IDK he has been rather veg he just has the idea of what he wants $=Power, I just want to have interesting ideas and power options to bounce of him next week at Hero creation.
Manah: metamorphosis is an interesting way to go about it never thought of that.
My current thought is he will just have a power idk FB 8 SS 6 or w/e and they can spend $ to give themselves extra advantages or action level for a duration. (prob a Hour) but i think that adds alot of extra work for them to keep track of and might be a"dull" use of the power.

Yeah, I like Metamorphosis-like effects for many types of power-ups effects. It's very versatile.

Eh... wants power level based on wealth accumulation, but nothing defined as to how that power manifests? STATECRAFT. Wealth and Influence ARE power. Handled.

C'mon, Dhark, you know that's not what was meant here. XD He's not talking about financial/social power, lol.

<shrug> I know little. “Stronger” and “More Powerful” are subjective, and as you say— lack context  I presented a solid option that provodes both! |

Well, I guess nothing you said was wrong. Wealth and influence are power. XD I'm just pretty sure kito meant 'gaining personal/physical power via accumulation of wealth'. ^_^

we got the power hammered out. he liked the metamorphoses idea and we ran with that his AN is equal to his wealth +he can spend his wealth to Lend the current power he has to an ally at the cost of 10% a hour(might be day). lowering his wealth over time but allowing him to share his power with his team.
