Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elrond Half Elven" data-source="post: 2573687" data-attributes="member: 25808">I don't think there should be any hard and fast rules about PVP and XP, each situation should be looked at by the DM and awarded (or penalised) according. I grew up with 2nd Edition, and I've included individual XP awards in 3E/3.5 before. In this situation I wouldn't award XP for the fight, but I’d maybe tempted to deal out a much smaller award for role-playing (obviously I've not seen both characters backgrounds and all the conditions which lead to the event). My reasons for this are:Not all forms of Role-playing are expressed through Dialogue (although admittedly a substantial amount), characters actions could also be considered Role-playing. freebfrost has already mentioned that the character has encountered violence when attempting to interact with 'civilised people' before (being stoned when approaching the local village), this could well have affected her vision of people. I would only deal out this Rping Xp if this action truly fitted into the characters personality... this would require continuity on Freebfrosts part. This continuity could be broken with the character maturing, however I need to see a learning curve in the character- it's all character development.  Having said all this I strongly discourage PVP combat, however a little tension in the party does add another role-playing element. After all in real life not all work-mates get on with each other (friends don't also get along all the time). I hope that made sense…HanxElrondN.B. I disagree with people who have pretty much said "Your not playing your druid correctly"- its unto each player to decided what their characters personality is like and the DM to decided wither or not their meeting any requirements for there class. Of course if the players not meeting the strictures then the DM could limit the use of granted abilities.</blockquote>
