It doesn't make sense to grow a character without playing them. Players who use XP as a way of keeping score can seriously undermine the point of a game - but thats a whole other topic.Having said that, I do think here theres a difference between a planned no-show, and the last minute SMS -  if theres a player who just cant turn up one week in four (think i read that above) then it would make sense to come up with an exception if the rest of the group want to play at that time. Personally I'd just organise a one-to-one every few months and allow some catch up and character development, but not all GM's have that luxury. Just a thought, what XP method are GM's use here? I use CR based individual so lower levels never drop too far off the pace. If you're using group XP then I can see why you'd have to come up with exceptions for no-shows.</blockquote>
