People have had ways of coping with this for years; either they like it and don't change anything, or they tweak XP awards down, or they whinge.Further, I have no idea how you've suddenly jumped to the conclusion that balancing per-encounter means the levelling-in-13-encounters rule suddenly becomes invalid.Cognitive dissonance will take care of "a few years", don't you worry. Let's talk about the here and now.You are saying that per-encounter balancing does all sorts of horrible things to verisimilitude, because people can kill 1,001 monsters before lunch. I am saying who cares about when lunch takes place, because it no longer matters in strict game-mechanical terms. Have it occur whenever is most appropriate for satiating your sense of disbelief.Oh, you were talking about COMBAT. You can still DIE in combat even with per-encounter balancing, so what are you worried about?See above re cognitive dissonance.</blockquote>
