[QUOTE="anon, post: 1143159, member: 3727"] [B]Sharing the XP Burden[/B] Others may share the XP cost of creation, following the formula: caster cost = normal cost/number of participants each participant's cost = 2 x normal cost/number of participants. So, the caster may cut their XP cost in half if another accepts the full XP cost, or to 1/3 if there are three participants. For example, with one additional participant, an item that would normally cost 600XP, would only cost the caster 300XP, and would cost 600XP for the participant. A third person would cut the caster's cost to 200XP (1/3 of normal) and each additional participant 400XP (2/3 normal). A fourth participant: caster 150XP (1/4), others 300XP (2/4). Giving up experience must be completely voluntary. There can be no element of compulsion or even expectation. There must be very little power differential between the caster and the additional person(s), otherwise it is considered to be non-voluntary and does not work. Due to this requirement it is impossible to get hirelings, servants or slaves to give up their XP in order to make your magic items. Thoughts? editted for readability [/QUOTE]
