How does one encourage XP disparity? And what else can it be used for?

[QUOTE="Hecatæus, post: 16844, member: 1028"] If you have several spell casters, and each have seperate item creation feats, then you can virtually credit xp used to create items with each other. If you go the donation route, (not a bad idea, I am interested myself in this for campaign reasons) consider making it a usually evil act. Someone on these boards made a magic item which does this.* That is, most PCs or NPCs will not willingly give up their own life force. Casters must often, but not always seek victims. And make it an inneficient process, ie only some fraction of the XP drained can be used by the caster. This way, one cannot use Restoration or Wish spells to fix the XP loss. This method could be the basis for Vampirism in you campaign if you wish. * This item had to be ingested for force fed into the victim. The item then sucked at the xp of the victim until he or she was dead. The Evil mage could then recover the Gem by cutting up the carcass. Perhaps some kind soul could search for that thread...hmmm?:D [/QUOTE]
