For this game we do journal entries for bonus XP, so usually everyone chimes in with an entry from the point-of-view of their character. These are posted on our website. I know I wouldn't have any issues with them being collected and reposted here. I'll ask the DM and the other players what...

Shaylon, what are you looking at in terms of price? I know that the clubhouse for my condo is available for rent, but I wasn't sure what price range you were considering.

I've used this rule in the Conan campaign I ran earlier this year, and it worked quite well. It made warriors in armor really tough, but at the same time the Conan rules worked in favor of one lucky blow being capable of taking down even the best fighter. It's also worthwhile to note that in...

Hey, me too! Let's go and hunt humanoids! They just need to buckle down and create a full Myers-Briggs type D&D Character evaluator. Then they can charge $100 for people like us to take it! :)

Yup, I realize that - another reason I chose "Rules" in retrospect. I didn't think they would have a big issue - they were surprised, but once DanMcS' scout arrived and he started playing peacemaker, I knew it was ok. They're a great bunch and know that my PCs are a bit off kilter. :) My...

Metagaming hat on:Wolf can only do enough damage to a 1st level ranger to knock him out (even with a crit). It has a better than average chance to succeed on his Trip attack. After either action I call the wolf off. I enter the fray doing subdual - at best I figure if I get one hit after the...

And thus my initial caveat about where to put this... I still think it fits best here, as I wanted input on how XP is awarded - i.e. for what specific actions. I think that in "General" I would have gotten even more static about "you can't run druids correctly,""You are evil personified," etc...

And who's perspective is that based upon? Yours? Or as a person living in a world where magic is common, dragons fly around, and resurrection and miraculous healing is only a standard action away? It's easy to sit back and say, well I'd never work with you, because that's against the (modern...

Yes, I know there is not a rule for that either way, and it is not sufficient because there is no precedent to cover this circumstance. What I wanted as sufficient answers was what a number of you have posted - why you think it would be something that should be awarded XP as opposed to why it...

From the SRD: A druid who ceases to revere nature, changes to a prohibited alignment, or teaches the Druidic language to a nondruid loses all spells and druid abilities... From dictionary.com: re·vere1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-vîr) To regard with awe, deference, and devotion From the...

Oooh, excellent point. I had forgotten that fact... So would you agree with the question I posed to DanMcS? Given that there are leveled NPCs in the world who obviously do not gain XP from necessarily working in cooperation with a team (an assassin for example), is this something that you...

And this is what I am looking for here - and thanks to you Dan and to the others who are actually reading my request. So you think that the real motivation behind awarding XP is to foster cooperation. Can you apply that to NPCs also, or do you think this is a case where the rules necessarily...

ZullMoG, Are you running my character? Do you know anything at all about my character - her background, motives, upbringing, gods, alignment? No? Then why do you feel compelled to try to get me to change how I run my character? And I think I have more than enough experience to run a...

It's rather more like, "I attacked you because I believe this to be right. I have healed you because it would be wrong to kill you for your ignorance. Let me help you understand how you have wronged Nature." Then this thing called dialogue happens, and we as players all get to figure out how...

That's nice. IMO (which is the only one that matters as her player) it does. :) I'm not asking for validation of her actions - that is my choice as a player. I am asking for a rules interpretation of when to award XP, and how that applies to this weird situation.

Because this isn't intended to be a question about my RP choice in the game, but the rules (if any) that would cover this situation. I am trying to get my mind around how I would deal with such a situation as a DM, and wanted some input on the mechanics involved in this situation, not a...

Because it was a slaughter, not a hunt. Two small human children were treed by two wolves. I Entangled one, but the other got out and attacked the party. The sorcerer and rogue (?) brought that down, and I was trying to figure out a way to get to the children and avoid the trapped wolf. The...

Yup - two of the players and the DM are here. The ranger's player is not, but I know his intention was to keep to the spirit of his character. His family makes a living off of the fur trade, whereas my druid is one of the reclusive "witches" of the forest nearby. The witches occasionally help...

I suppose it is not entirely different from just walking into towns and killing citizens for XP, so any abuse would have to be limited by the DM per the campaign. Hmm.

OK, I'm not entirely sure how to catagorize this one, but here goes. Last night I started playing in a new campaign, and got into a confrontation with the other party members. I am playing a young female druid, who has led a reclusive life and was quite taken aback to see the party ranger...
