[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5820549, member: 2710"] Hey guys, looking for a little help to avoid making the same mistake twice: Is there a chart available (or would it be possible to make a chart for LPF) which shows what an appropriate "hire on" incentive is for a standard party at level X? 200 gp apiece was the hire-on for Still Waters (level 4 verging to 5), but I seem to have stalled out the beginning of Kostry Kopec (most characters just having gained 5th level) with a similar offer. My understanding is that part of the problem is the adventure hook calls for 'extended travel.' However, in PBP, traveling for two weeks is effectively the same as traveling for two months: in game, time is really determined far more by encounters than by actual distance. With the hard set wealth-by-level limits, I guess I'm a bit flummoxed on how to properly account for a level-appropriate hiring fee, especially since, the higher the level, the more exotic (and thus distant) I'm inclined to make the locale? I'm hoping some kind of reference might help me avoid the issue in future. Or maybe I should just go back to level 1 adventures with gem-dropping eagles. :p [/QUOTE]
