Said PC could just as readily look at all these boons and declare "nah, I don't think I'll bother".Because the DM can police it, to make sure that the players haven't just arranged to stage this dramatic conversion for the cheap XP. And because they game does include mechanics for influencing the attitudes and thoughts of NPCs - be that diplomacy checks, Skill Challenges, or whatever. (The DM may choose not to use these mechanics, but in general if he does so it's because he's using freeform roleplay to the same end.)Still, it's a good point - I'm not really a fan of XP awards for roleplaying at all. (Or, indeed, "quest XP" either, although less so.) These days, I just give a fixed number of XP per session.That's an interesting argument for a player to make - what with their being no such requirement to atone for healing characters of other faiths. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Perhaps.I'll note again something that I think is pretty key: between this thread and the wish thread, it appears that the OP is a novice DM with more experienced players, at least one of whom seems to be trying to take advantage of his good nature. That being the case, while I would have no problem with an experience DM doing otherwise, my advice to him is not to allow it. Because to me, this feels like another attempt at abusing his good nature. I may be wrong about that, of course.</blockquote>
