If there are 10 Orcs on wereboars and that's all part of the action, that could also be 1 encounter, but if it's pretty tough, I might count it as 2. So 1 encounter = 1 XP. Simple. If the part gets out of a trap, that may not be an encounter - because only the rogue took care of it. And I don't think they should get an encounter for something when nobody else can. With combat, everybody can do something. So all get the encounter, because without the rogue doing the trap, nobody would have gotten the combat. We had 2 traps go off in succession, and by different players contacting different area's of the map. Also, while 2 people were falling down a 60' pit, another player caused a statue to come to life which also called a Vrock. So the 2 pits were 1 encounter, the 2 cupids and succubus were 1 encounter and the Vrock was another - and this all went on at the same time in the same huge ass room.
