[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 5777117, member: 22622"] i hate the term "deal breaker". I don't think anything at this stage is a deal breaker outside of copying either 4e or 3x a bit too much. 1. If there are options, why would you not play the game? Because somewhere in this world another group is doing something different than you? 2. I don't really understand the world of XP, so I can't understand how this is such an intense issue. The point of XP is to level so players can enjoy better benefits. I understand that some groups use it as a form of competing (in a cooperative game). And just as easy as I take it out, I"m pretty sure its simple to include it in the game. But the math needed to figure out how many locks picked equals a beholder killed would be resources better spent on other areas. I can't say i've ever met a player who, after hearing about how xp was distrubited, flipped over the table and left in disgust. 3. This is an issue that WOTC needs to tread lightly on, cause either way you can offend the other camp. Pathfinder still has save or die spells and they add to the intensity of a combat, 4e doesn't, and it allows everyone to play just about every 5 minute round. The easy way will be to have both. Still, this is an easy house rule. Heck, in 3.5 we gave all save or die spells a cap. [/QUOTE]
