If others ideas or conceptualization of XP and lifeforce is different than this, it doesn't make them wrong (just misguided<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />). Seriously though, there is no one right way to view this. Whatever works for each person is right. You and I just happen to have the same basic idea on this one, and that's cool<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />. But, even though 4E isn't my system of choice, I think it has the best approach in implying that the rules are less important than the game. You can have very differing ideas of how something works, sometimes within the same group, and it doesn't have to be an untenable situation. Real life works this way too. There are as many ideas as there are people, and it's probably safe to say that most of them are right and wrong to varying degrees.  Even though 3E is the system I play, I only happened to use 3E quotes because I remember them the best, and the books happened to be sitting right next to me. It's probably a good thing I didn't have my 2E books, or any earlier edtion books, or I might have made an edition by edition breakdown - and that just wouldn't have been good for anyone<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> (especially me - y'all might have wanted to lynch me after a page long post<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />). And thanks for the 2E quotes. These are the types of thread that I really like, because they get me thinking. I'd never really thought about this subject very much (as I said, it just hasn't come up in any of my games), but this thread has made me more ready to deal with this when it does. Thanks to the OP for starting it and thanks to everyone who contributed. This thread is chock full of good stuff.</blockquote>
