[QUOTE="Wraithdrit, post: 4222552, member: 10820"] So as I see it, a major quest is a reward that covers several sessions of play, and is basically the equivalent in value to killing a solo monster. If you add up all the quest rewards that are listed in the book (three quests) then you get 6000xp! KotS says (I'm going from memory here so I might be off) that it requires 1000xp to go up to level 2 and 2250 xp to go to level three. This is an equivalent level monster xp value times 10. So to get to level four (which the adventure states should be achievable by the end of the adventure) would by extrapolation take a total of 3750 xp. Level 5 would take another 1750 for a grand total of 5500 xp. If you clear the adventure you are looking at something like 3900 xp in monster killing reward. If you add to that 1250 xp of quest reward you are at... 5150 xp. A mere 350 from level 5, not just getting to 4th as the adventure seems to imply the players should be at. If you replace the values from the economy article, then instead you are looking at 2100 xp divided by 5 is 425 per pc, or right about 4325 if you cleared everything. Not all groups kill everything, so that gives enough buffer between 3750 to get most groups all the way to level 4. Now to be fair, the adventure also doesn't say use all the hooks, it says use as many as you want. I like lots of quests and things to be going on, so I'm just trying to bring the quests in line with the economy article, and allow for all of them to be used, and it not send the characters too high in XP. - Wraith [/QUOTE]
