02-11-07, 03:59 PM Are there any official or unofficial rules about sharing XP for magic item creation? For example, if my fighter would like his greatsword enchanted and another player has a wizard who can do it for him, is there a way the fighter can spend some of his XP so the wizard doesn't have to expend it all?

02-11-07, 04:16 PM I dont know about any official ruling, but that sounds like a really great way to do it in a homegame. I dont think it would unbalance anything, although, I dislike the xp cost entirely. No one should fall behind the group if you ask me.

02-11-07, 07:37 PM We run it where if someone wants an item crafted, and is willing to assist the crafter by paying some XP, they can divide the total xp paid in half and each pay that much. if three people are willing you divide by 3 and each pay that much.

Basically no one person except the caster can be required to more xp than the others.
