[QUOTE="reveal, post: 1499617, member: 1236"] Personally, I got tired of 2 things: 1) Having to figure out how much XP an encounter is worth and figuring out who gets what 2) What the heck to do if a party member died and was resurrected in relation to how much XP should he/she get since they are a level less than everyone else So.... I do what others on here have stated and simply "Ok guys, you're now level X." I determine when I want them to level. I had one player who really didn't like this and complained. He always played Barbarian or Fighter types, so I asked him why he didn't like it. He honestly couldn't come up with a reason, he "just didn't like it." So I told him that was his prerogative. Next time he DMed, he got into a habit of not giving out XP (RL kept him busy and he couldn't always e-mail us the info before the next session). After the campaign ended, I reminded him of his previous objections and he just grinned and said he had changed his mind. Anyway, beyond keeping track of XP for item creation, spell cost purposes or simply self-gratification, I can't think of a single reason why a person would actually NEED to know how much XP they had. Everyone in our group is fine with it now. :D [/QUOTE]
