Legildur said:Usually you would think that players would complain about that. We have a similar rate of progress in the World's Largest Dungeon - and that is VERY combat focussed. The DM applied the module recommended XP awards based on Encounter Level and not Challenge Ratings. Which is fine as the module is designed with that in mind (I hope!). Everyone enjoys it and gets plenty of time to refine their tactics and skills at the current level before gaining something new to play with. Given that we only play it 11 times a year, it's going to take us a while to finish it![]()
Congrats on a great finish for such a lengthy campaign.
Sorry Olaf (obviously surfing from workOlaf the Stout said:Forgive me if I am missing something simple here but you're saying that the XP awards were given out based on the EL not the CR. i.e. If the group faced 2 CR 4 creatures (an EL 6 encounter) he gave out XP as though the party faced an CR 6 challenge rather than 2 CR 4 challenges?
For almost all cases this works out to the same amount. I'm sure I'm missing or misinterpreting something here.Can you please explain in more detail what you mean? Pretty please?

Legildur said:Sorry Olaf (obviously surfing from work), but I can't really remove your confusion (damn I hate that effect) as I'm not the DM and he only made reference to it about 2 years ago (when we started, and we are now 6-7th level).
I do know that XP awards are significantly lower than what we are familiar with from other campaigns, so I am a little surprised that you say it should work out the same in many cases as it doesn't pan out that way for us.
Maybe someone else with a copy of WLD can elaborate?
Olaf the Stout said:I don't have a copy of WLD but I remember seeing a post from someone saying that the book recommends to halve the combat XP awards. Of course I may be misremembering here.![]()
As you said, maybe someone else with a copy of WLD can elaborate.
Save her stats, change the name, change a couple obvious things, and maybe you can re-use her in another 100 sessions or so.Ambrus said:I'll admit though; it was hard. I'd spent most of friday completing her stats and working on her tactics. She would have so kicked their asses...![]()
