[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 231970, member: 11"] I guess I am one of the few people here who thinks figuring out XP takes way too long to do it per session - not to mention that it doesn't really make much sense to me to do it that often. . . I have gone out of my way to slow 3E advancement WAY DOWN - I used to grant XP after every adventure which could be as often as every other session, but often can be five or even six sessions - but now since the campaign I run is so "organic" with little or no "downtime" and few or no clear determination of when an "adventure" begins or ends - I give XP as the story dictates - that is to say when I think the flow of the campaign would be served by having the PCs increase in power I give out XP. . Then again, I kind of just make up the number of XP I award based in part on the usual D&D "how many monsters ya killed" but mostly on RP and character development. . . Also, when I do grant it I give it at the beginning of a session - allowing everyone some time to update their characters (if they went up a level) and it is passed out on private notes to each player so no one has to know how much someone else got unless that person chooses to tell them.
