I love it.  And thanks for moving it, I meant to post here anyway.Thanks for your quick replies!   As for talking -- yes, that is most often the best way to settle any dispute or conflict.  I posted this only after a fairly lengthy discussion with my DM and fellow players about this topic. Essentially, the DM left the doling out of treasure to the players (those of us in-country) as we see fit, but remained resolute in his decision to award xp fully to one character and none to the other.  I said that he was the DM, and whatever he ruled was fine, but I'd come back to him with any new solution I could think of (and argue for convincingly) and he seemed open to that.  Which brings me back to why I posted here.  I think giving neither character xp would be a better solution, although a distasteful one (the gfriend's char did contribute quite a bit, even in the player's absence). Some percentage of xp, maybe? What would be fair?  [/I]Is there a "fair" here? I'd love to find it, but so far it has eluded me.  The DM says that the fact remains that one character was part of the adventure and the other wasn't, so this ruling is the only one that makes sense to him. What he fails to see, I think, is that the character's absence is at least partially due to his arbitrary ruling on what happened to the guy's character (a rare bit of snootiness on the DM's part, if you ask me).Ultimately, I leave it up to the DM, as he hasn't steered us wrong yet; but seeing myself as the peacekeeper amongst the group, I'm doing my best to find an agreeable solution.</blockquote>
