Yeah, that's why I've been fairly liberal with RP exp. Though I've got a good group when i can get all 4 of the remaining 6 to post (Only seems to be a problem with one of them).

my guys are at about 1500 right now, and they started at 0, and everyone but the 4th level character has made a level, and he might make one by the end of he can stick around.

Yup, Lasair is happy to get 1500 XP with very little fighting. At level 3, she may take her first actual offensive combat power

(OOC: And don't feel bad that IA gets very low RP XP, as the fighting XP is really high)

No, haven't felt bad about that. Nor with it in LPNN, since it was dead for a bit. Murder we got none, and were told to like it by the GM (She was nice about it, but apparently she doesn't award RP EXP)

Yup. I would give RP XP, but I feel that the standard combat XP can get ridiculously high, so instead of my usual plan of reducing combat XP and then awarding out my own, since I'm not allowed to reduce combat XP, I mainly just give that if it's a huge amount.

yeah, you tend to make fairly deadly encounters though too, so we earn it

Well, the encounters are more interesting that way

yes, though skin of your teeth encounters every time can get grating as well. A good mix is good.

I think it's unrealistic if all encounters are that way, though.

That's true. In the case of the first encounter, I rolled a hard one on my chart of random encounters, and it could have been much easier. The hobgoblins, you knew exactly what you were getting into, though

 

[Jdvn1]

We knew we were going to encounter a level 4 hobgoblin with a really high AC? I must've missed the memo.

You knew how many hobgoblins there were and saw them fighting against the render, at least--plus sword and shield enemies tend to be the sorts that are focusing on AC nowadays, thanks to the ridiculous Power Attack rules in 3.5 that the designers admitted they overbalanced because they thought that people would have trouble multiplying by 1.5 on the fly.
