[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4267582, member: 2011"] Well since you first claimed that my system was just dividing by x, I suspect that at first, you either did not understand it, or you did not read it. The fact that you still do not see a difference means that you aren't looking carefully, or are purposely being obtuse (or even trying to mislead people). For example, you posted a logarithmic chart which makes things look linear and can be misleading to others if they are not careful about what they are looking at. For example, the bottom two sections of the chart are white noise. It makes it look like the yellow line is close to the others, but the GP from 0 to 100 are a mere fraction of the wealth acquired at all levels and the two lines are far apart at each level. And, the fact that the lines diverge on a logarithmic scale means that there is less Monty Haul at higher levels with the yellow line. By definition. A logarithmic divergence means that it is not the same curve at all and increasing the local economy would not resolve the issues (or at least the issue I have with it). So, you are again trying to make it seem linear (like your divide by x claim), but it is nothing of the sort. Except that it is not just a "shift" and is not just "slightly". Look at your own chart carefully. Your chart illustrates how many levels higher the PCs have to be to have the same economic effect. Look at the 1000 GP line. Level 2 PCs acquire that at that level in the core rules, level 8 PCs acquire that at that level in my system. Look at the 10000 GP line. Level 10 PCs acquire that at that level in the core rules, level 18 PCs acquire that at that level in my system. That's not a slight difference. And, the cumulative effect when adding up the total GP acquired from level 1 to level x is even more pronounced than your chart indicates. Look at the attached thumbnails. All of the delta between the 1 to 10, 11 to 20, and 21 to 30 level charts here is the excess wealth the core system hands out. [/QUOTE]
