Individual RP XP awards though, I stopped doing 20 years ago. Why?Because everyone wanted to roleplay well anyway. And some people, lets face it, are generally better at it than others. And, when the better players get more XP than the others, it means that their characters get to be higher levels - which means that they dominate the party even more than they already did.I don't give bonus XP to the group when they have played better as a group either, only when they have accomplished more. My view here is that XP is the tool I have to pace their growth through the campaign, so that they will be at the right power level at the right time.</blockquote>
