Even at the very least, if you follow that rule about, "you can only gain enough XP to place you just below next level." They're levelling every single session, with no break in between.Too much ice cream gives you a belly-ache, as you know. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />What I'm getting at is that when the XP is based on "per challenge" and abilities regenerate after every encounter, then they could in theory take 100 combat challenges without stopping. There needs to be some kind of expended resource, or there is no dramatic tension. Imagine a Naxy SEAL team that never got tired, never needed ammo, and healed all injuries after every firefight. While it would make a general's dream-team, it makes for kind of boring storytelling. Feng Shui is a fantastic game, but I simply can't run an extended campaign in it - I've tried.</blockquote>
