If the XP element has to be paid for at extreme cost with gold, the benefit of cheaper items vanishes. If you have to trade spell capability for your items then you're screwed over too. Basically, if that's the way it goes down then there's no reason whatsoever to bother with item creation feats. Or to put it another way, if I have to spend more gold on items I've created than items everyone else is simply purchasing or have to trade the ability to survive for my items...Considering he'd be lower level than most everyone's cohorts what the hell would he bother showing up? He couldn't gain XP from similar challenges.I'd really like a ruling from Albedo or Jemal on this, rather than just have everyone telling me why spending umpteen feats to do what they do in one template should suck so bad. Seriously, if I'm knocking myself down to 20th level to build this crap I'm just going to end up handing this stuff over to someone else to fight the nasty Epic level monsters, and I'll chill out with everyone's mounts and hirelings. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
