Just saying "Well that's your opinion" to every challenge is a complete dodge.At least we agree that your statements were illogical. That sort of begs the question though: what were you expecting?Nonsense. "on-the-fly negotiation with NPCs, the gathering of information ..., or exploration of the dungeon" are all possibly Skill Challenges and certainly all necessary for completing a quest (and thus for earning the Quest XP).  Just because they aren't as directly rewarded as combat doesn't mean they aren't rewarded.Not very satisfactorily though. Almost all of your "Bads" will keep following you to whatever system you switch to until you correctly diagnose and address them.I disagree that it is discouraged, but even if you want to reward it more for some reason, I think the "best fix" is rewarding XP for good RP, not getting rid of XP. It's so central to D&D that if you really have that big a problem with it you should probably just play a different game. Playing D&D without some sort of leveling mechanism is like playing Monopoly without the ability to buy property.</blockquote>
