Necropus speculation
When we finally see the Necropus in an adventure she will be revealed as:

Re: Necropus speculation
I'm hoping for:
* Explanation of how non-humans have at least slightly different mechanics for using XP to adjust their attributes, rather than basing everything on the same human-oriented experience table. The new rules have clear issues with all the characters who don't start at 32 points and who don't max out about 40 points, as well as having information gaps and causing logical inconsistencies for NPCs, gargoyles, dragons, etc. It seems to me the needed thing is to make corrections, not to apply the letter of the rules and suffer the weird consequences. |

How to get 130 million XP:
Have a complete gaming session each weeknight where you earn 100 XPs. Meet 250 times a year for 25k XPs a year. In your day job start construction of Stonehenge and you'll have the 130 million XPs now.

Re: Necropus speculation
I very much like how the new XP rules work for humans, but agree the broader implications for other beings either hasn't been thought through or hasn't been explained. A related issue is the difference between PC's and NPCs from exotic races (e.g., reptile men) - it just isn't clear why it exists or how PC's are supposed to evolve to be like their NPC counterparts.

Re: Necropus speculation
I have a house rule that works for this case:
The 54 point Octopus is then only 108,000 XPs over a 45 point Octopus. If we add 500 XPs for at least one spell and say 38 mana the total is 116,100 XPs which is only 194 years at 600 XPs per year. Round up to an even two centuries with a handful of additional high level spells.

It seems to me that non-human races with non-32-point-starting-PC's and non-base-8 attributes and/or maximum attributes should have adjustments to the XP needed to improve their attributes, proportional to those values. |
