Message: <blockquote data-quote="Renshai" data-source="post: 3189940" data-attributes="member: 1061">I recently created a house rule that stated if a player couldn't show up to a game, his character would be played by a random player.  The person that had to play the extra character got a 10% experience point bonus while the character of the player that couldn't make it got 50% of earned experience and his character could not die unless the entire party died from  TPK.  I created this rule because our twice monthly game has degenerated into maybe once a month because of one person having to miss the game. (we just canceled when one person missed)I thought this was a pretty fair rule, but some of players disagree. They stated that because we are all good friends (and we are outside of the game) that we shouldn't worry about bonuses and getting half experience because people only miss when they've got a work obligation.  This kind of statement also came up about ECL from time to time. They think that if the other players don't mind that they are playing a more powerful ECL race that they shouldn't be penalized experience, "because we are all friends". What are your thoughts on this? Am I being unfair? Thanks,Ren</blockquote>
