I think it is unfair to penalize a player because he rolled a low inititive and the enemy is wiped out before he gets to act.  Or he fails a will save and gets a hold spell cast on him.And it is really unfair if you penalize a player because he rolls badly and get knocked out by the DM rolling well ,so no xp for you becauase you didn't hit anyone.I don't think games like that are fun at all. I have never has a player just stand back and watch and do nothing. I can't imagine why a player would  not want to play by sitting on his hands watching other players have fun.Yes it is a player reward because it is the player who is playing, the character does not really exisist. And I like to give the player who goes does a little extra a reward.</blockquote>
