And what I have played mires the experience in the first three levels for many weeks (assuming the game lasts long enough to get there.) It wouldn't hurt to give XP for the things you describe, that's for sure. I just didn't see people doing that in games where I was a player.Yep. Literally 100% of my experience of playing 5e is "wow, levels happen stupidly fast. We need to slow that down by a factor of two at least. Preferably 3-4." Whereas for me this is practically gaming torture; I already don't like playing low level (1st-3rd) 5e characters, who feel inept, fragile as hell, and limited. Forcing me to spend 8-12 sessions to merely reach level 4, let alone play it, is extremely off-putting. But, as stated, I find it nearly impossible to find games that start at anything higher than 1st level, so there's really no winning, especially when several campaigns have ended after the second or third session at 1st level produced a TPK.Maybe I've just had nigh-miraculously horrible luck with 5e. It has always seemed to me to reflect the culture of play most folks describe when they speak highly of 5e on forums, though, so I don't think my issue is (solely) that I am become Job with the ashes of character sheets upon my head.</blockquote>
