Optional XP System

PostDateIcon Fri, 01/04/2013 - 1:10am | PostAuthorIcon w00t

This system ignores the Development Points (DP) section of BBF and makes an attempt to use a variant of the Labyrinth Lord XP system.

XP is divided evenly among the party. To determine the total XP award per encounter use the following guidelines.

Earning XP

Treasure 1gp = 1xp

Creatures (BP x rank) + (abilities x rank) = xp

Major NPC (BP x rank) + (sum of skill levels x rank) = xp

Minor NPC Minor NPC Score/10= xp

Example: The party fights a basilisk whose lair contains a 100gp gem and 34gp coins. 134 for gold and 90 for creature = 224XP
Example: Major NPC Kalak (Rank 3 wizard) from Soul's Reach modules = 87XP
Example: Minor NPC 4 Human Thugs 55% = 22xp

GM's can also award XP for good role-playing, making the GM laugh, etc.

Spending XP

Skill Level
Buy a new skill level according to the table below.

Level XP Cost
1 0
2 1,000
3 2,500
4 5,000
5 10,000
6 20,000

* For instance, if you earn 1,540 XP during an adventure spend 1,000 and gain a level 1 skill. You now have 540 XP.
