Character Advancement Proposal

The following is just a rough guess and should be modified based on the results of playtesting.

2 weeks PbP posting a minimum of once per day = 1 advancement check. Even this will require finding ways to speed PbP up significantly

1st level to 2nd level = 2 checks
2nd level to 5th level = 4 checks per level
6th level and above = 8 checks per level

At this pace a player character could reach 20th level in approximately 6 years real time.

Let player characters continue to gain character levels past level 20 to level 26 through multiclassing. This would allow a character to reach 26th level by approximately 8 years.

Player characters get to keep the coin, treasure and magic items they gain during adventures. DMs should stock their adventures with enough coin for the average player character in the adventure to find/win/earn 50gp/level/character plus or minus 50%, an additional 50% of that in treasure. Availability of magic items should be limited both within adventures and in downtime over the life of each player character.

Possibly automate downtime activities such as training and equipment purchases so that a player is able to handle these themselves.

 I think that once a day is a little harsh,if you understand what I'm saying. People have important things to do that could eat up all their time and not have time to post. I'm not saying this isn't a good idea I'm just saying that a characters level shouldn't suffer because people can't post every day. Also I like what you were saying about going beyond 20th level, it would make extraordinarily strong characters that would be fun to play, but even 20th level characters are hard for the DM to make balanced encounters for so if we get there...... If would be even harder

 True, but I think the goal is to whittle the team down to the people who play with max efficiency, activeness, and speed, making the game more fun for everyone involved.

 I understand what you're saying about efficiency but you'd have to be some insanely good DM to build a proper encounter for level 30 or 50 characters, the game just isn't meant to go beyond 20 or even 15 for that matter

 We're planning on hitting 30????

I'm not saying that we're going that far but if you look at the first quote it proposes that by way of multiclassing you'd be able to go beyond 20

 yeh, I was mainly addressing the first part of the paragraph about people quitting and such.

 I understood what you were saying and I agree completely agree that's why I moved on to the whole beyond 20 game balance problem.Also I'm gonna be moving out of state in June so I wouldn't be able to post every day like said, So if this is gonna be longer than a couple of months( which is more than likely the case) I wouldn't be able to post for a couple weeks

Nice idea, though how does the tavern fit in this? Is it where the veterans of the university and the organization gather? Is it where illicit missions are assigned to third parties which cannot be traced back to the organization or the university?

 I was thinking of the tavern being some interdimensional adventurer's hub, with each boarding-room door leading to a new plane/world/DM's adventure. It would have a shop inside to sell some powerful items at later levels, have a place for people to keep their unneeded loot, and a place to rest in between adventures.

If we were to go with the university route, it would be very similar, just with a portal room, all Super Mario Galaxy-like.

 I'm seeing something amazing developing here. I can't see any reason not to do all of these. I think the tavern is a great idea. This would be an incredible location for a DM or DMs to launch adventures from. Do you have an idea of where you would like to place it? or would it be all inside and no outside? If you need a place to put it and don't have one, why not the settlement in the wilderness demiplane (I've really gotta pick a name). Connect it to the university. If a DM wants to do an offical location, maybe Sigil, or wherever, set it up and connect it to other places in this collective setting. Same thing if someone wants to totally homebrew an entire setting from races, classes, magic, physics and mechanics. I was wrong. I was thinking one central location that other DMs could build off of, but a better way to do this is that each location would be it's own center with everything else connected around it.

We may need to set some rules on this (spit balling here). To be honest I wouldn't want to see people setting something up and leaving it to others to use (especially if nobody does) unless that's a deal set up with someone who is going to run it and is getting help with the worldbuilding efforts. If a DM creates a setting to launch adventures from, they need to launch adventures from there. Someone should be in charge of and responsible for that setting and for whatever maintenance that might be needed (yeah, currently I have no clue, consider this a place holder). A DM wouldn't have to have their own and could use an existing setting and might eventually be a coordinated effort of a team of DM maintaining and expanding that setting (adjudicating and recording player character down time activities would be part of maintenance).

(I think I broke my reply)

Pardon the example, but you can compare the idea of tavern, university, and organization to Monster Hunter. A tavern can be considered a gathering hub, university as a trade hub/logistics, and organization ties them all together. The tavern does not need to be sponsored by the organization, as players may want to be independent or affiliated. The tavern just presents a place to meet like minded individuals and form parties with. 

I feel as if there is a shared setting for this area to be a part of, it'll be subject to rules of it. I'd rather enable character creation, but do agree that any homebrew would need to be looked over. But Sigil presents a possible place for all races, even homebrew to come to. The only problem is it is managed by the Lady of Pain. The Lady does not care for any good or bad, making it a truly neutral haven. The only thing she does care for is any harm to Sigil. Any other crime is irrelevant to her and her people, which include murder, theft, or brawls. While large scale wars are prohibited, it still teeters on anarchy. The place itself is broken up into wards, for the rich, middle, poor, market, artisan, and industry.

The setting itself will allow for any kind of campaign, portals are either shifting or permanent. Magic nor gods can interfere with portals leading or coming from Sigil, as the Lady will find that as interference for Sigil. But their servants are fine, as long as they respect the neutral status of the place. The only way to control it is as DMs. We can say that the organization is merely informed individuals that know what portal leads where. Said individuals can be DM leads or NPCs from their campaign.

There are a multitude of taverns that cater to the any and all kind of races. University can simply be a group that collect information on the multiple continents, worlds, or planes. The organization simply points adventurers to who needs them. It'll allow for homebrewed races, worlds, and classes. It'll satisfy people's want of homebrew. But to affect the shared setting, Sigil, is to upset the Lady. Means that any terrorism will be dealt with swiftly and deadly. But attacks on organization is different, assassination attempts, destruction of property, or theft is allowed. 

Sigil is a good suggestion to build off. A few other options is like what they do in Adventure Zone. An interplanar craft able to take and send adventurers wherever.

 Idk where to place it. Any demiplane that can function like a hub to get to other planes works. Maybe the tavern could be part of the university, like a side-building? Maybe some mages discovered this tavern of dimensions and decided to build a university around it to study it? We definitely need to make set rules, and probably a better name than The Tavern/University of Planes

As far as magic objects are concerned, a good rule would be the following:

-Common items are, well, common. The DM can give away as many as it makes sense, and perhaps even a few more.

-Uncommon items are uncommon: 1 in tier 1, 2 in tier 2, 4 in tier 3, and 8 in tier 4.

-Rare items are rare: 1 in tier 2, 2 in tier 3, and 4 in tier 4.

-Very rare items are very rare: 1 in tier 3, and 2 in tier 4.

-Legendary items should be exceedingly rare: at most one per campaign.

The DM can alter these values upwards or downwards by no more than 50%.

 yea it makes sense that there would only be one Legendary magic item and other items should relatively rare as well. except for potions and scrolls, anyone who knows anything about magic can make those ; )

I personally think a bit more magic items, especially if you involve it in the plot, can be super fun. throw your first level party a portable hole and see what they do with it! (just an example)

 yeah, of course. a deck of many things at low levels can ruin a campaign, and a magic item like mind blade is just throwing them free extra damage. a weapon, +2 can also be really annoying to deal with at low levels, your just letting the players have extra to hit and damage. a sword of sharpness will just lead to your players one-shot-ing everything, if given at low levels.

but some magic items can be really fun and not ruin the campaign at low levels. a portable hole, a feather token, polymorph blade, or a instant fortress, just to name a few, can be really fun and lead to more creative play at low levels.

I was in an OotA campaign with a drow gloomstalker ranger who ended up duel wielding Mind Blade scimitars. They are definitely not good for low levels.

 I agree about giving more magic items to player characters, especially at lower levels, even more so if it's something like the portable hole. There are low level magic items that can be so much more fun than one-shotting the bad guy with "the sword of invincibility" and D&D has some great ones like the aforementioned portable hole, also the Pole of Collapsing, the Dust of Sneezing and Choking and my own personal favorite in this category the Immovable Rod. Let's face it, if you take an automatic assault rifle to a gun fight and win, nobody's impressed. You take duct tape to a gun fight and win, you're a genius.

Don't really need anything for Legendary because if it's 1 per campaign like was mentioned then it would be up to each individual DM whether to award 1 or not. It might fit into his campaign story to have a legendary magic item.

And another thing that can be thrown into the many suggestions for a gathering area to visit many other worlds... the old magic shop.

On an old weathered wooded sign swinging on two rusty chains with a squeak, squeak, squeak, was written in old common The Old Magic Shop.
This magical emporium of wizardly wonders can exist in multiple planes at the same time and therefore depending on how you enter or exit you could visit other planes.
Plus, it serves as a magic store where magical items can be purchased (perhaps at higher prices?) and/or interesting trades considered.

 It may have been in a different conversation but one of the goals of the shared setting was that since the chances of a campaign finishing successfully (in an estimated more than 5 years) was pretty low, the persistent setting with persistent characters, in limited duration one-shots (that have a much better chance of finishing) could compensate in terms of character development. A character in a 1 month long one shot would take whatever progress towards next level, any gold they found, treasures and magic items into the next one-shot with them, eventually reaching 20th level (or 26level if we decide to go that way). Characters could buy taverns or farms, build fortresses or monasteries in their down time and these would persist as well.

Magic shops can be a lot of fun. I have one I'm going to introduce. I'm sure there will wind up being a few of them.
