XP for XMas

[roguerouge]

So, my girlfriend said the other day that she'd accept XP for a Christmas gift. (She's got a 10th level character in a solo game with me as the DM.) Since she was clearly not joking in any way and I am on the internets and must take everything literally, I have decided to post a poll.

After answering the poll, if you could provide guidance on the following issues: appropriate wrapping paper, required box size, whether to use a bow or ribbons, and theme of accompanying card.

Does her PC make magic items? I assume so, otherwise the 4th option is kind of pointless. If I knew that for sure I would go with "4" but as is I said "enough to level up." Otherwise its not much of a gift.

It should be on (faux) parchment or similar colored paper, calligraphy or some old english font, rolled as a scroll, sealed with a ribbon and wax.

(Waiting for someone to suggest ways she could earn XP.)

 

[Aus_Snow]

It depends what. . .

No, I would never suggest that.

 

[roguerouge]

She has a cohort who is a crafter.

Wait... you think she could earn XP? I don't think that's very feasible, myself. I mean, I don't think there even are any dungeons or abandoned ruins in Watertown. Where else would she kill things and take their stuff? New York?

you should give her one less xp to level, print it on a card of some sort, put it in an envelope, put the envelope in a small bag, wrap the bag in duct tape, put the ball of tape in a shoebox, wrap the shoebox in duct tape, put the duct tape box in a computer box, wrap the computer box in RED wrapping paper, put the red box in a TV box, wrap the TV box in duct tape, put a few paper bags over the Duct tape TV box, put the paper bag duct tape box in a Surround sound system box, wrap the SSS box in duct tape, put the duct tape SSS box into a refridgerator box, wrap the refrigerator box in duct tape, wrap the duct tape fridge box in Red wrapping paper, put a bow on the paper, put a card on the box, the card contains 1 xp.

Have her find a book of increasing your level by 1* in-game.

* Actual name will vary depending on class and possibly alignment: book of exalted deeds, libram of silver magic, manual of puissant skill at arms, etc.

I agree with this - have some fun with it!

You frighten me... But I'm intrigued.

I hope you get her a real present too.

But a level's worth is a decent in game present.
