I'm playing a wizard in a campaign that has been continuing long enough for my character to start making permanent magic items. What happens is that the party pools money for me to make useful items for the entire party. A large number of my feats are geared towards item creation.
The problem is that I've made enough items so that I'm falling behind the rest of the party in xp. Our dm follows a strict policy of equal xp division no matter what. At this point I'm about half a level behind everyone else, but at this rate, I can see the problem getting worse as the campaign continues (I'm 12th level right now). I wish there was someway to redistribute the xp loss among the rest of the party, but the rules don't allow anything like that as far as I know.
One other player suggested just killing off my own character since the dm allows new characters to come with the exact same xp as the rest of the party. However, this seems cheesy and lame, and I really like the character I have. There's really no way for me to do a side adventure to gain xp as the dm and I really don't have the time (it's hard enough to schedule games as it is).
Any suggestions?
