[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 3196025, member: 2011"] There is no metagaming in that. The character might not know it as XP, but he still has to have a concept of "I learn a lot slower for several months if I cast this spell". There is a difference between taking one for the team and handing over major wealth. 20th level Fighter loses 400,000 GP in items. So, the other 3 members of the 4 member party decide to pony up 100,000 GP each so that the Fighter balances back up with the rest of the PCs. With a ratio of $100 to 1 GP, that 10 million dollars. I do not care how close a friend and business partner is, in real life I am not taking $10 million of my $50 million estate and giving it to him just because he got pounded $40 million in the stock market. And neither would my other 2 business partners. Now, why would you roleplay most PCs in such an illogical manner? Sure, an occassional unusual and extremely altruistic PC might be strongly motivated to do such a thing, but the vast majority of the PCs should look at the Fighter as if he has grown a third eye if he asked for this.
