[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5367179, member: 29398"] But if each pulls her weight when opportuinity allows, it should in theory cancel out. If it doesn't, them's the breaks - not everyone is equal. Allow me to clarify: a player missing a session does not in any way mean said player's character(s) don't participate! They do, run by those players who do show up with reference to instructions from the missing player if provided. (this is made clear to all at campaign start, if you miss a game your characters are at the mercy of the other players) And ExP is given for character participation. If 6 characters helped defeat the dragon while the 7th ran and hid behind a rock, only the 6 get any ExP for that battle. In other words, those who take the risks get the rewards. You might be worrying too much about fine-tuning the numbers. Parties in all editions can handle battles a level or two higher than they are, and as DM if you see they're struggling you can always dial it back a little. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
