[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 2330501, member: 16285"] Pg 40 of the DMG “CR awards for noncombat encounters: You could award exp for solving a puzzle, learning a secret, convincing an NPC to help, or escaping from a powerful foe. Mysteries, puzzles and role-playing encounters (such as negotiations) can be assigned CR. . .Don’t ever feel obligated to give out XP for an encounter that you don’t feel was much of a challenge. Remember the key word in experience award is award. The PC should have to do something impressive to get an award.” Pg 50/51 of the DMG talks about the different things that fall under rewards and behavior. Pretty much the amplifying text in these sections back up that exp is not awarded solely based on defeated monsters (although that is the default). The most important aspect here is the bit about experience awards and it being an award that characters must do something impressive to get. IMO this excludes the normal day to day activivites by their very nature they can't be "impressive". [/QUOTE]
