Standard Rewards Guidelines

Experience Points:

For Exp. Points in Fallen Dreams we do not go by monster kill CR. Since we focus on the story and role-playing we feel that kind of reward is unfair to those that are not monster slayers. So we have made a guideline to help maintain equality.

For a 4 hour session DMs should award 300-500x the characters level. This is the min and max you should stay within. Exp. Points are awarded character by character basis, not by average of the whole party.

Magic Items:

Another reward, which we wish to regulate, is magic items. Here is a rough guideline per session:

Character level: Category and Number:

1-3                               1 item from the 3000gp or under list (page 247 DMG)

4-5                               1 minor item

6-12                             1 medium item

13+                              1 major item

Magic item ratio for changing the category is 3-1 i. e. (3 minor items = 1 medium item). The market value for both items groups must be within 10 % of the most expensive single item. (Note: that items from the 3000 and under list are considered minor.)

Magic items in shops are often hard to find. It generally requires a lot of shopping around and sometimes you can not find what you are looking for. Players generally must succeed at Diplomacy check DC = 15+(required level to make the item) to find the item they are looking for. DMs may choose not to allow this roll if they feel the area they are in would not have any such item. Only one check per session.

Even if they are successful in finding the item prices are often 3x the normal market value. Selling magic items to shops, players should receive roughly the market value of the item. There are no guidelines for player to player item exchanges, except that they must be approved by a DM.

Mundane Rewards:

For mundane rewards such as gold and valuable but non-magical items we have no guidelines for them at this time. We feel that these things will not unbalance a character by too much. We do want our DMs to give what they think is fair. If it becomes a problem we may change this ruling.
