[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8559168, member: 29398"] Probably worth pointing out here that in a 3e-4e-5e system where all classes advance at the same rate milestone levelling and milestone xp work out to being pretty much the same thing in practice. In a 0e-1e-2e system where classes advance at different rates, milestone xp and milestone levelling would be very different beasts. Being able to break it down by individual is to me about 95% of the reason for using xp in the first place. An example from last night's session (and [USER=6987520]@DND_Reborn[/USER] will like this as it involves training! :) ): on completing a mission a PC Cleric needed to train but as he's an Elf operating in Human lands the nearest place he could train was Elven lands, about three weeks journey away. The rest of the PCs agreed to stay put and wait while this PC and another went off to train. However, when that Elf PC arrived at the Elven lands he walked face-first into a local religious conflict (VERY long story behind this!) and spent several days helping sort that out before he could start his training. Why should anyone else other than that one Elf get any xp for what that Elf did while three weeks away from the rest of the party? [/QUOTE]
