I use an abstracted system: i.e. a 25th level character has a total resource value of x. This may be in material holdings, magic items, epic spells etc. When one figures in the xp cost to develop spells, it starts to become more complex - for purposes of determining resources, Nwm is currently 25th level, but x thousand xp have been sunk into epic spell development, therefore he is only a 22nd level character. The benefits of the ascetic class - certain perks which assume no magic items for stat boosts etc. - also have to be costed in this light, and subtracted from the whole.This preserves the numinous bunkum which is game balance.</blockquote>
