[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6621879, member: 463"] Heh. IMC the Paladin PC would be a highly experienced ex-Paladin - maybe a Blackguard. I don't vary roleplay xp awards significantly, but there are big in-world consequences for your behaviour. The main reward of being a good roleplayer IME is that you typically get more 'screen time' than phone-it-in guy. You don't need buckets of extra XP too. I tend to award XP for actual in-game Experience, primarily overcoming challenges, rather than as a metagame reward. This does not 'negate' or 'invalidate' anyone's roleplaying; the good roleplayers tend to end up with much of the campaign revolving around them while the phone-it-ins are relative wallflowers. Edit: I have to say, I don't really care what a player wrote on their character sheet. Characters evolve, and it's what you actually do in-play that matters. I have one player who wrote 'CN' on his PC sheet but can't help playing 'LG/NG'. I'm not going to punish him, his PC is still a cool character. [/QUOTE]
