Poll #26: Proposed change to BP table

The current BP advancement table was designed to use the character WEALTH PER LEVEL system in Pathfinder as a measure of power. However, the more I analyze Pathfinder, the more I see that the wealth accumulation system does not accurately reflect power in the game. So, I am proposing an adjustment to the system that would allow calculations to proceed into greater levels using mythic tiers so that it would be possible to have a Level 20 character Mythic Rank 10 (instead of maxing out at Lvl 14 MR 6).

Here is the proposed changes:

OPTION 1
LevelBP Cost LevelBP Cost LevelBP Cost
1st0 11th550 21st2100
2nd10 12th660 22nd2310
3rd30 13th780 23rd2530
4th60 14th910 24th2760
5th100 15th1050 25th3000
6th150 16th1200 26th3250
7th210 17th1360 27th3510
8th280 18th1530 28th3780
9th360 19th1710 29th4060
10th450 20th1900 30th4250


OPTION 2
Keep BP table as is but change rewards to 100/200/300 instead of 30/60/90. Also come up with a different way of doing mythic tiers once people get to 20th level.



Voting options:

YES, change the BP system to OPTION 1.

YES, change the BP system to OPTION 2.

NO, keep it the way it is.

Poll #26: Proposed change to BP table

Well, i choose a good time to pop in, didn't I?

I'm all for the conversion to a BP table if only for the fact that it means i can finally be a higher level and still keep all my awesome gear.

So i vote,

YES, change the BP system to the new proposed calculations listed above.

Edit for option 2: I'm still pro option 1. Instant gratification in the form of leveling up and not working for it. :P

While I think the level-to-item power ratio is okay as it is, I definitely like faster level progression, so my vote's for:


YES, change the BP system to OPTION 2.

Poll #26: Proposed change to BP table

I am probably a little biased here in that I don't rely on items as much as others, additionally I don't have much experience with the BP system so I am probably not the best placed to make judgement. But I am definitely not opposed to faster level progression.

Yes, change the BP system to Option 1,


Edit for Option 1, however, also equally happy with option 2 so....

Poll #26: Proposed change to BP table

I guess I'll be the odd-ball.

I think a better fix would be to have player wealth and mythic tier determined by the level purchased with BP, rather than determined by BP spent on it.  So, all 8th level characters have standard 8th level wealth and if they are veterans "Mythic on" would grant them 4 mythic tiers.

With hopes for maybe working out something better later, I think I need to vote:


NO, keep it the way it is.

Looking at the math. I think I prefer the first option it gives a easier spin for new players.


Option 1

No opinion on the table thing.
But I'm still firmly oppose to mythic tiers -- they just mess up the game balance so much...


OPTION 2
