[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 5838500, member: 2804"] Group XP or whenever the DM feels a level is appropriate is the only way to go for me. Everyone levels together. I loathe individual XP awards and won't tolerate it in any game I play in ever again. I have played in far too many games where the DM had their favorite pet players and something as simple as quoting the DMs favorite movie would get their star players bonus XP, while everyone else pretty much had to actually buy the DM food or books to ever get bonus XP. Thats complete BS and I'll never tolerate it again. I feel very strongly about it. Nor should players be punished for missing sessions. Missing the session is its own punishment. If someone is just flaking out, then boot them from the game. Don't deal with out of game issues via in-game incentives or punishments. I consider that very poor form. Cool moments at the table, or rewards for good play are fine, but they should come in the form bonus action points, or free rerolls or something. [/QUOTE]
