[QUOTE="erf_beto, post: 3371447, member: 47533"] About carpentry (or anything else) going up, you ''''assume'''' that the character takes some time off and (almost magically) returns with new knowledge or power, wich is not a material good (you can put a 'scroll of fireball' in your pocket but not the 'ability to cast 3rd level spells'). You go in empty-handed and 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas', as the saying goes, so you don't have to care about how the knowledge comes to the character. But I get your point, it's irrational to upgrade something you have never tried to do before. As a matter of fact, leveling up in DnD is a preety weird thing (saves, hit points, skills, feats, all going up at the same time?!?), but that's a discussion far beyond the scope of this thread anyway. We are talking about vanishing gold and other expansive itens, so rationale should be mandatory, IMO. A week for each 1000 gp seems ok, really, but I'd say that you also need someone to take the gold - unless you want people making offerings to the gods and burying money in desert islands... (maybe this is why we find money laying around on most eletronic games :p) Perhaps they can do this only in a town with reasonable resources, as the DM sees fit. As an option, allowing caster types to 'absorb' the powers of magic itens or ancient relics, draining them into XP on a very long ritual, instead of selling, sounds cool enough ;) Either way, i like this idea. It's worth considering it :) [/QUOTE]
