We've ditched that resource entirely in our games (e.g. use of an action point is an encounter power).Consequently, I'm not too fond of a rule based on milestones.I would rather see some press-on incentives that pick off on existing rules.Someone suggested an incremental XP multiplier: that sounds like a neat idea (though not for me, I've ditched XPs too. We've kept everything else if you're wondering <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ).One idea would be to give the PCs a bonus after every encounter. For example,  each PC could choose one of the following bonuses after each encounter: +1 to AC, non-AC defenses, attack rolls or damage rolls or +1d6 to crits, without possibility to get the same bonus twice until you've had each bonus at least once (i.e. to get +2 to attack rolls, you need to first get through at least 5 encounters; and to get +3 to attack rolls you need to get through at least 10 encounters). This would beaf up the PCs though and would also increase book keeping, so I don't know that I would want this mechanic. Well, 15-minute work day is not a problem in any group I play, so the question is moot for me anyway, I'm just participating to the brainstorming here.Sky</blockquote>
