[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 3618228, member: 29398"] Depends on the situation. If the party tries an encounter that's way over their heads and realizes their error in time to back off while there's anyone left, I'll give ExP to the survivors for the act of backing off. One thing I try to avoid, however, is giving ExP multiple times for what is effectively the same encounter. For example, say the party knows there's a dragon ahead...they can't hope to defeat it, but they have to get by it to the castle it guards to finish the mission. If they successfully avoid the encounter, they get ExP for that, as they should. But if they find a reason to go back to the castle and thus have to avoid the dragon again, they get less ExP the second time. And if they go back a third time and this time kill the dragon (an encounter they already got ExP for avoiding!) there'll not be a full ExP award for that battle either. Just call me a RBDM. :) Lanefan [/QUOTE]
