Depending upon how the XP to gold is  handled, you'll affect the speed of gain.I always look at the labor costs and what that implies to the gameworld. Joe Normal makes 1-2sp/day as an unskilled laborer. A skilled laborer is making 1-2gp a day, and a tradesman 1-2.5gp a day (based upon crafting rates and downtime rules). So, that skilled craftsman can have up to 15gp a week to spend on XP; let's use a fairly safe 5gp/week. Only for "Wasted" (Carousing, temple donations) GPIf 1gp wasted=1xp means he can level up in 300/5=60 weeks. Just over a year to 2nd, and just over 3 to 3rd. Your basic fighter could thus come back, and craft up some stuff, and continue to progress as a fighter by being the village smith.At 5gp wasted=1xp, it takes 300 weeks for the craftsman to normally level up...6 years.GP EarnedAnd if it's gp earned, not wasted, the poorest commoner is elligible to level...1gp earned=1xp, base level 1sp/day beggar gets level up in 10 years, guildsman in 1 year, and craftsman in 6 months.It implies that town guards (usually a moderate) should be averaging level 3-5.At 1/10 that rate, the town guards are typically going to be 1st to second level, but the local lord still gains 1 xp per day. More if they see action.Your half at obtaining and half at wastingIf you're restricting it to stolen or looted, it's going to mean the local thieves' guild will be high level rogues and fighters, but other non-adventurers won't. The Lord might, if he personally seizes stuff from tax violators.If it's at 1:1, looting is a major level-up experience.</blockquote>
