Can you spend additional XPs when using Miracle or Wish from items?

[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 4959328, member: 1164"] Would not recommend it. It would be like allowing someone to split the cost of the [I]wish[/I] between two people. I guess if the person using the wish was willing to pay the ENTIRE XP cost, rather than using any of the 5000 already included with the wish, it would be alright. And I'm still not so sure about it since only casters capable of wish or miracle are supposed to be able to burn away any XP in this manner. XP costs are factored in pricing the item. If the creator of the item wants to bundle 10000 XP into the wish, its reasonable as long as the XP is factored into the cost. The only real check and balance on burning XP is that it VERY painful to be left behind. Sharing that pain takes that away as does tuning 25000 GP into Raw XP [by turning it into a wish and then adding in your own XP to make up the difference]. The pain for one person being 40,000 XP behind is what prevents Wish from being overused. If instead each person in the group could spend 10,000 XP for the same benefits, it becomes far less painful. Same reason why the rules don't let collaborating casters split XP costs on items. One person pays the whole amount. [/QUOTE]
