[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6978546, member: 413"] My campaign finished up PotA a month or so ago. They're 12th level. My player have no desire to do another big AP but I have them all so we are switching over to a sandbox/episodic campaign where I cull the best bits from the APs and present them as stand-alone adventures. First up is Castle Ravenloft. We've been using milestone leveling up to this point. We don't play often enough to support straight XP and my players seem unsure of what to do with gold so far. The wizard PC happily spends his on new spells and spare spell books. The Paladin is saving his pennies to reclaim his family estate in Thundertree (I decided it will cost him 15,000 gp). The other PCs are just at a loss. I've let them purchase a few magic items along the way but they have found plenty of these so even that seems unappealing to them. So we're going to try exhanging gold for XP. You can use it for purchasing magic items or other direct improvements to your character or you can spend it on downtime activities and that translates to XP. They have around 6000 gp each so that will translate to (at most) about a third of their advancement toward 13th level. I think the one caveat I'll make is limit the gp->xp exchange to be no more than XP earned through adventuring....that way if they come across some ridiculous windfall they can't just buy a level or three.
