[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3923480, member: 2020"] I liked a certain rule a lot: 1 gold piece gained = 1 experience point gained All you had to do was bring the gold home, and voila! ... lots of experience points. All you had to do was bring the magical items back, and decide to sell them, and voila! ... mega experience points. Or keep them and retain all their goodness, and get some experience points still! All you had to do. Easy. Fun. Natural as breathing. Hehehehe. :) I mean, after all, carrying 20,000 gold pieces weighing 2,000 pounds is a snap, right? And, no bandits or monsters or angry peasants or other greedy adventurers or the tax man is going to try to take that money away on the long, long trip home! And, of course, if the treasure cannot be carried, no monster or knave or adventurer is going to help themselves to an unguarded treasure hoard. No way, no sir! Obviously, wagons and mules and horses will be on hand to carry all the loot, and these animals and machines will be in top shape, never disturbed or tired or damaged, and nobody will ever try to harm them, and obviously the road back to town is as smooth as glass. It will be a walk in the park! And when you get home, and you decide to sell those irreplaceable, beyond cost, life saving magical items for small change, the reward in experience will be worth it! Hehe. Choices, choices. Your large sack has a hole in it. Your Bag of Holding was destroyed by the Fireball. Your mule was eaten by the ogres. You encountered three bandit ambushes and five monster ambushes on the way HERE in the last two DAYS of your three month trek. The only road is the one you blazed through solid underbrush, deep water, high mountain slopes, burning desert sands, and through the Jaws of Death in monstrous lands and monstrous realms. But it will not be hard, getting that ton of gold home. Why? Because, you are ADVENTURERS. And that, is all that is required! :) Edena_of_Neith [/QUOTE]
