[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6755836, member: 29398"] Well for one thing I run a system where not all classes bump at the same number of xp. For another, my game has level loss as an unfortunate side effect of getting hit by the wrong type of undead or from a few other rare effects. It also has unexpected level or xp gains sometimes via wish or deck of many things or other odd effects; do you not allow these either? Also, even if I gave out xp like you do there'd still end up being differences in the long run: you don't get xp when you're dead, for example; nor if-when you retire to gain a skill or research a spell or whatever; nor if you're sitting in a cell somewhere waiting to be rescued, and so on. And, if a character dies in your game does its replacement come in at exactly the same xp? Are you saying player but meaning character here? I don't care if the players succeed, but if their characters succeed then the party (in theory) succeeds right along with them...assuming, of course, that the goals of every character are the same as the goals of the party; not always the case. However, to me even that is looking one step too far. The goal for each character is to survive. Lan-"some play D&D as sport; I play it as war"-efan [/QUOTE]
