[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7636990, member: 12731"] As I understand it, the only way to make it happen is to abandon the regular xp per level chart (which is real easy: 1000 xp each level) and instead create an accumulated expected wealth per character table, and use that for xp. Trouble is, neither table 11.1 nor table 11.2 (of the playtest) is that table. So here's the accumulated version of table 11.1, per character, rounded off: Level 1: 10 xp Level 2: 25 xp Level 3: 55 xp Level 4: 100 xp Level 5: 180 xp Take level 3 for instance. To complete level three, you will have gotten 8+16+30 gold which is ~55 gold. Now then, this means you can't spend any of that money on potions and such or your leveling will be delayed. (Your level-up will [I]always[/I] be delayed by purchasing stuff, but I'm talking compared to the baseline) On the other hand, your party will have looted about two permanent items each. Assuming not everything is to your liking, you can sell something like a [I]Bracers of Missile Deflection[/I] and spend it all on wine and wenches - this gives you 30 XP, a fairly hefty boost towards level four.
