Message: <blockquote data-quote="Piratecat" data-source="post: 2825073" data-attributes="member: 2">Just edited that in.  Good question. To recap:Example: Joe the fighter is level 11, and gets 5 AP + an XP Pool of 5500 xp (or really, since Joe is a fighter, 10 AP and 500 xp to donate towards someone's magic item.)  He gets killed and drops back to 10th. For 10th and 11th level he only gets his xp pool (5000 and 5500 xp respectively, or 5 AP per level). At the point where he'd hit 12th level, he'd jump back to 13th with the rest of the group, and rocket back to 5 AP + his full XP pool (effectively 11 Action Points).Huh. Having written that, I don't like it. It leaves him doubly weak after dying, then springs him back to instant full power two levels later.Any suggestions?2. At most given this system, a 20th lvl wizard could cast wish twice in a row. (I have a house rule saying that, like miracle, wish doesn't cost XP if you use it to spoof a spell.) That's the trade-off for Action Points and a simple system. I'm okay with this, especially if you use our wish/XP house rule, but not everyone would be. Rejiggering the math to find a different balance in the XP pool really affects what a "reasonable" amount of magic items could be made.  That being said, I'm not married to the idea of the XP pool being half of the XP needed to advance a level, but it does feel right to me.3. Level adjustment...  hmm. I hadn't considered it. Suggestions? My expectation is that they'd gain AP and an XP pool based on their character level including the level adjustment, just to keep them on par with the other PCs.</blockquote>
