Alternate Experience Awards

[jdrakeh]

Are there any good alternate systems of awarding experience online? That is, systems that difffer form the deafult method presented in the DMG. I know that CoC d20 and True20 borrowed a page from Arduin and did the "award players a level every 2-3 adventures" bit, but that's too loose for my tastes (well, currently -- sometimes I like that). So... anything out there?

Rel or P’Kitty (r someone like that) uses a ‘scene’ based XP award system.

I adapted it for my Eberron Campaign and found that it works quite well actually.

Essentially you give XP to whomever participated for combat scenes, chase scenes, role-play scenes, mystery scenes, trap scenes and so forth.

The award differs between minor, moderate and severe challenges for the scenes.

Hopefully one of them will poke their head in here and explain it better than I.
