[Joy the DM] I don't know where the disconnect is with coins, I need to know the correct numbers but I want you (not Yakumo and through no fault of her own Alice) to control it. So I will have to defer to you all to correct me and ignore the errors if any.
[Ashley] Freya had an L take but she has the responsibility to be the parent who disciplines the children. I'd rather keep using the orb because otherwise it's silly to think we get huge powers arbitrarily when hitting a certain fuctional number just because. Joy's response was the orb, functional Gods and checks system. To me, D&D vanilla broke immersion in certain ways, look how much fun we've been having with orbs.
[Joy the DM] in my research, the alternative was level by milestone and it doesn't take experience into account at all. I have to decide who gets to level when and you wouldn't have any indication of progress. The compromise was leveling at base only which was done in games across genres for a long time.
