[QUOTE="Patrick McGill, post: 7387362, member: 6749334"] My preference would be an XP system, but not the one we currently have. Game and player expectation is to be the same level, for encounters to roughly correlate in challenge to their party level, with each character leveling at the same speed regardless of what that character does/doesn't do. Because of this, Milestones in 5e work just as well as the XP system because it's essentially the same thing only in short hand. Why even bother with XP if the game is set up for PCs to level as a group? This is why I was so excited for that Unearthed Arcana that Mike released with the 100 XP every level system, in which you got like 1-3 per battle/obstacle/role play success/etc. I would much prefer to award PCs as individuals for their actions and just not care that people weren't all the same level. I also frankly would prefer asynchronous xp goals for each class though I think that particular thing is gone forever. [/QUOTE]
