[QUOTE="marune, post: 4271426, member: 18243"] I would like to know what the designers had in mind :) I didn't see any hint regarding the narration of metagaming gamist mecanics. I don't have a problem with groups having an "storyteller/illusionist" DM, I just don't want the DMG telling me that it is [B]the way to do it[/B]. Reducing the treasure / level isn't suggested by the DMG and I don't think it would be a good idea. However, delaying the treasure might work, because it increase the risk ! For example, if you add a extra hard encounter after a failure, don't give out a treasure parcel, but add one at the end of the adventure (or after the next success). I don't recall having read in the DMG that Quest XP should work as equaliser. I still have to work some numbers to see how it would work without changing the XP values from the DMG. The penalty I suggested in my OP is more risk for less XP. QFT ! Keeping the PCs alive may be insufficient to produce a story, but I understand your point. [/QUOTE]
