As characters in that game are significantly more like "glass cannons", they have to think about their actions a priori.  There is no 'game balance' as we've come to be spoiled by in our D&D and Pathfinder games and you still get x.p. for the following:* Hiring mercenaries to kill the monsters for you* Sicking the witch hunters on the lair of the cultists* Calling the city watch* Caving in the dang complex and suffocating the monsters* Bribing the enemy to leave* Intimidating the enemy* Hiring the enemy to your side* etc.ANY/ALL of this can hire and occur at any time during combat, so this goes way past 5' steps and flanking/elevation bonuses.So now my problem is that my D&D players are thinking this way  <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=";)" />My problem, not to hijack the thread, is "how to assign experience points for creative thinking beyond "Dancing with the Stars D&D tactics?" AND ALSO, "should a PC get more xp for doing cool tactics in combat rather than playing on his phone and just lining up toe to toe and rolling d20 + d8 + bonuses?"jh..</blockquote>
