[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8624610, member: 20564"] About a year and a half ago I started running a campaign where the party had been gathered as agents of the Imperium because they had each woken a semi-sentient mask artifact tied to the Imperium. These were magic items that grew with them, and I said there wouldn't be a lot of other items. Also, as Maskbearers of the Imperium they can requisition any mundane equipment. The Paladin started with plate. They need horses, the local Imperial Post gives them horses. That sort of thing. And finally I use milestone/story-based leveling instead of XP for overcoming creatures. Why did I tell you all that? Because this has been the absolutely least murderhobo party I have ever seen - including multiple other campaigns playing or running with the same players. Killing things gets rewards - loot and XP. Once those aren't important, the party faced a lot less head on and was a lot more selective about the times they wanted to employ deadly force. [/QUOTE]
