Any XP discussion occurs when the session is over; avoiding in-game distractions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It seems at least as accurate as tallying by encounter. 4E is somewhat better on XP tallies but in the end, measuring XP is like measuring a bunch of piles of jello: you can take the micrometer out and try to measure the volume of each little pile or you can mash it all into one bigger pile and measure it in a single measuring cup.</li> </ul>Curious to hear thoughts of others.</blockquote>
