Hey all,
My game has gone into downtime. The players are going to divide loot, go shopping, etc.
A few months, maybe a year, are going to pass. PCs are near or at level 7.
They're probably going to have to choose between adventuring some more (fluff way, not playing through the actual thing), training, working their asses off for $$$$, or a mix of the three.
Mechanically, depending on their choices (and the ratio of their time they allocate to each task), I'm probably going to give them:
- Adventuring: allies, info, etc. generic fluff stuff, and maybe an odd magic item to play with,
- Training: XP
- Working: $$$gp$.
The question now is how much an XP point is worth in gold in order to make the exchange work?
If we look at magic item creation (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm), we can come up with 1XP = 12.5gp. Does that look good?
Is their an actual rule covering this? I have some vague memory of finding something looking like this in the DMG or DMG II, but I can't recall where or find it now.
