Perhaps that explains it then; the DM ensuring that the levels happen at the desired pace. Haven't had any 5e DMs interested in milestone levelling. I do know one person who runs her games that way though, so it isn't totally unknown to me. I just don't recall ever seeing it in the online gaming space.But yes, despite these things being at least half the game, I've gotten far more non-combat XP from 4e than I have from 5e despite having joined far more 5e games than 4e ones at this point.It's part of why I am so puzzled/frustrated by all the talk of having non-combat encounters out the wazoo. If they actually gave XP that might be a different story, but unless the thing we did specifically was averting a combat encounter through RP or resource/skill use, I've never seen anyone give out XP for anything but combat in 5e. That pattern will technically break if the on-again, off-again game I mentioned keeps on its pace, as the DM has said he will be making special dispensation to get us to a higher level ASAP in order to align with his regular group. That it is a special dispensation, however, is very clear.</blockquote>
