I don't believe that XP should be Eschewed. How would eschewing GP interact with expensive foci? Would expensive material components be partially reduced, e.g. paying on 400gp for Stoneskin? --Randy (Talk) 18:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- I would not have it affect foci. They are not consumed -- foci have never been a problem for me as a player or that I've heard from others. Partial reduction seems feasible, but I would probably make it all or nothing. In flavor, you need a single 5000 GP diamond -- not misc. diamonds worth up to 5000 GP.
