If someone in the group did some good role-playing, but the others didn't all get rewarded. This means people will appreciate the one doing the role-playing more, even he "hogged" the spot-light - they all got rewarded for it. In the end, everyone might try to add some extra XP to the group for good role-playing. But even if not, the one interested in doing it and creating a more entertaining game doesn't feel like it was worthless - his group is getting better thanks to him. This makes the whole spot-light hogging aspect a lot less worse, since everyone is reminded that it is for the sake of the whole group.The downside might be you put pressure on the ones that didn't grant the group role-playing XP, and this can lead to hard feelings. If you avoid that, things are fine.The moment you begin to give out XP differently between players, you end up with some PCs better then others. That will only help to increase the differences between the PCs, and worsen the situation in the long run.</blockquote>
