[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5888203, member: 82425"] Ditto here. Havent calc'd xp for years now and am never looking back. Since the modern convention is one xp advancement chart for all classes, characters (/should) level at about the same time, meaning XP is just bookkeeping. Much prefer to simply advance characters at the appropriate point in the campaign, removes an entire sub-system and gets you back into the game faster. As for thought on your post...if I WAS using XP I would say XP as award every time. If you have to get past a pack of orcs, and you can engage or sneak, the XP is the same either way. I also say you might go to the local garrison and charm them into sending a patrol to clear the orcs, or climbing the mountain above their position to set off a landslide, or setting a wildfire around them. It doesnt matter HOW they choose to engage the challenge, the point is that they engage the challenge. How hard they make it is entirely up to them, so this whole "reward vs award" is entirely irrelevent. Get over the challenge = XP award. Combat is an option only... [/QUOTE]
