For instance, in my upcoming game, they will level up at the end of each real world month for the first three months and then settle into a level up every three months real time. (We have three sessions a month.)So, there are no XP influences on in-game in-character decisions. Do what your character would do in the circumstances and don't feel you need to do a or do b or avoid c in order to get xp. play the character. Its very simple.So, in my game, whether the character decided to go or stay would be an issue for him to work out with the rest of the party. Frankly, the notion of a mage who stays at home while the party travels and teleports to them once they have reached their objective has occurred on occasion. Typically this allowed said mage to get more time in on scribing spells or scroll or even items for other purposes. It has its own risks and rewards.Good decisions and good roleplaying should simply carry its own benefits in game and in play. I don't feel there needs to be a mechanical element to these.</blockquote>
