[QUOTE="Leopold, post: 271472, member: 758"] the game I run i hand out xp like normal and let the pc's handle the xp that they get. Is it a bookeeping nightmare? No. Why? I use pcgen and force all my players to now. It keeps track of all their material and items and xp and gives makes it oh so simple to manage. I award bonus xp for good roleplaying and for the best roleplaying for the night ala Old One style. As for pc's catching up in level, it will happen. Just pass out the xp according to the chart and it will work itself out. Usually the lower levels will gain 20% more each time and gradually catch up. When they die they come in at (TotalPartyAvg/2)-1. This keeps those PC's on their toes knowing they will die and they will come in lower level. When they get higher level death becomes rarer and rarer with spells such as reincarnate and raise dead but it still drops them in level nonetheless. Use the system, run the system, love the system, it works and works well. [/QUOTE]
