[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8245781, member: 12731"] Well... This requires clarity. Kenada is mixing beggars with merchants here. Unfortunately both can yield a 10 XP reward, so let's be more precise. First off, Kenada references my scheme found here: [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/absolute-xp.679357/']Pathfinder 2E - Absolute XP[/URL] Now, defeating a level 1 [B]creature[/B] gives 2 XP, completing a level 1 [B]challenge or quest[/B] gives 10 XP. Second, the [URL='https://2e.aonprd.com/NPCs.aspx?ID=897']official beggar[/URL] is not a level 1 creature (as we've all assumed so far). It is a level -1 creature. Just sayin'... Defeating a level 4 creature also happens to give 10 XP. Defeating a level -1 creature gives 1 XP (because I don't want to give out half of an xp). So if you are accosted by a level 1 creature, say an escaped [URL='https://2e.aonprd.com/NPCs.aspx?ID=900']prisoner[/URL], and manages to beat him off, or turn him in to the city guard, or leave him lifeless in the gutter, you and your friends gain 2 XP each. But if your quest is to find out which of the prisoners knows the real identity of the king, and that is a level 1 quest, you gain 10 XP. If you manage to escape with a bottle of Booger Swamp White Wine guarded by four merchants shooting crossbow bolts at you, you gain 1 XP for each. If on the other hand you're challenged by a merchant, not to single combat, but to a game involving Mercantile Lore, you gain 10 XP. But if you are on a quest to replace valuable wines with cheap fakes during a wine tasting without anyone knowing, and that constitutes a level 4 quest, then you'd get 50 XP. Hope that clears up everything! [/QUOTE]
