[QUOTE="Gooba42, post: 3382732, member: 43884"] The 0.9 per XP is something I had to pick out of the combined charts myself. I may have screwed up the numbers at some point but I did a couple spot checks and they matched up so it's the system I'm using in any case. Edit: Yeah, it breaks at 6th level but isn't a big problem until 8th. I'm not certain if there's a pattern here and my algebra skills are rusty so I'm not about to reverse engineer the formula for the exponential progression. I've got a spreadsheet I update session to session that calculates totals and averages for party wealth, xp, level and splits out wealth as cash and wealth as item value so I can keep an eye on how much and what type of wealth everyone has or needs. If I ever have a player complaint, I've actually got an audit trail showing how far ahead or behind their character is from the actual and ideal wealth factors. Edit: Changed my spreadsheet now to reflect the PHBII chart using a vlookup to another sheet. Aside from "Go read PHB II" I don't know how to give any advice on this topic until some enterprising soul works out a general formula. I'm relatively new to DMing but fairly good at spreadsheets so any calculable guideline I can find is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
