[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6965377, member: 12731"] Perhaps I should apologize for being unclear. I didn't mean to suggest you add more monsters. I meant you reuse the same xp amounts for your exploration xp awards. The xp you get from defeating an Orc, or a Tyrannosaurus Rex, is calibrated to be X % of what a level-appropriate party needs to level up. Perhaps a first level party and a sixth level party, respectively. A standard Orc (CR 1/2) is worth 100 xp. That's 1/12th the amount a four man party needs to level up to level 2. A Tyrannosaurus Rex (CR 8) is worth 3,900 xp. That's about 1/14th of what the party needs to level from 6 to 7. I am merely suggesting that instead of painstakingly computing all these new tables, you instead say that "trivial exploration of safe hex" might be worth the same xp as defeating an Orc: 100 xp. While, I dunno, the complete exploration of Volcano of Doom is worth a Rex, or 3900 xp. Instead of doing all the calculations over again, just assign CR ratings to your various achievements.
