Rebel XP Bonus Replacement?

[Mortavius]

Hey folks,

I'm preparing to run the first module of Hell's Rebels, and I'm planning on using milestone XP. I notice that at certain ranks of the rebellion the PCs are supposed to get bonus XP, but this won't work with milestone XP.

I don't want to remove the reward completely; I hate "dead" levels in games. I'm thinking about just changing the XP to a group GP award. Some levels already give gp, but it's individual (for example, at rank 6, the PCs each get 750 gp). I was considering at rank 5, rather than 1,200 XP, I'd just give a group award of 1,200 gp.

The problem I can see with this is later ranks. Rank 15 would be a group award of 6,400 gp, and the very next rank each PC would get 8,000 gp.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I'd be careful with gold rewards--my party seems to have a ton of treasure and they've not even put in the effort to do a lot of crafting. There's definitely plenty of time--months--for crafting before things get really hectic.

If you do want to do this, maybe cut it by a third and have it go straight to the rebellion treasury? I don't know.

I know this is too late for you, but for any future GMs, I considered these being Hero points if you are using that system. We don't, so I'm just giving them an extra Favored Class point to distribute as they see fit for their character.
