[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6011711, member: 463"] At least P2 explicitly discusses the possibility that some of the fights will be bypassed. In many 4e adventures I have a kind of wrenching sensation when I allow a fight to be avoided, it feels like I'm "going against the adventure". The adventures often reinforce this with admonitions against letting the PCs avoid any fights, because then they'll miss out on the XP they need to fight the BBEG at the end. :erm: Sometimes they say to throw in extra encounters so that the PCs aren't under-levelled. P2 says to give 1/2 XP for non-violent solutions, which is IMO an appropriate amount of XP, but still causes trouble when you're finishing a 'level 14-17' adventure with a compulsory EL 21 encounter... Edit: It says to give the rest of the XP 'at the end of the adventure' - I'd think awarding it at a chapter break like the arrival in Deadhold would work best. [/QUOTE]
