Two ideas, both untested:

1) Party gets (say) 52 weeks to work, on the jobs table. Cash earned 
can be used to buy fine weapons, magic, etc. at the standard rates as 
listed in AW and AM. If one or more members die, their earned money 
vanishes and their replacements get only the remaining weeks to work, 
which discourages jobs that are extremely risky/lucrative.

2) Player gets a total of (say) $8000 to create a party and is in the 
role of the "patron". Any character used must  be "hired" for 6 
months (consistent with army/police/other risky job) at the *highest* 
salary for which he's qualified on the jobs table. Leftover money is 
used to buy fine weapons, magic, etc. Opponents are allowed to check 
which job was used after the game, to make sure the character wasn't 
low-balled by the patron.
