Handling Experience w/Magic Jar

[silburnl]

Hi all

I've got a player in my current game who has managed to wangle himself the body of a huge fire elemental via a well-timed Magic Jar. What's the approach for handling XP awards whilst he is a 16HD pillar of fiery death? Work things out per his normal level or do some kind of level adjustment?

If the latter, what sort of LA would be appropriate?

Regards

Since Magic Jar is only 1 hour/level, would it really be appropriate to be changing his XP awarded? If he polymorphed into a dragon for a fight would you give him less XP ?

XP as his normal level, I would say.

What darthkilmor said. He's gaining benefits based on his character's abilities, so he should get XP based on his regular level.

OK, thanks.

Payday for that character then, he took on 5 mohrgs single-handed in his temporary body.
