[QUOTE="g33k0 gzus, post: 1254591, member: 15596"] I use a pretty simple system in my game. There are three categories of XP determination, all rated from 1-100: Challenge, Accomplishment, Roleplaying. I rate the session and the groups performance in each category, add 'em up, and then multiply by (the average party level) +1. I like to promote the groups efforts to have each other roleplay, so that's why I put that there. However I also have two session rewards after each session - the Action Hero of the night and the Actor of the night, which everyone (including I) vote on. The Action Hero reward is for whoever carried out (whether or purpose, or luck) the coolest, most memorable action of the night - and the reward is an extra Action Point (which I use from d20 Modern). The Actor is the person who best portrayed his character, meaning class, race, alignment, and overall acting (i.e. using voice, staying in character, etc.). That person gets a 10% XP bonus on the overall session XP reward. Seems to work fairly well - and I can ignore the, what I find to be almost useless, XP tables in the DMG. ;) [/QUOTE]
