Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 3723110" data-attributes="member: 158">The main problem I have with "per encounter" is that I can easily visualize a party going into Undermountain at first level, and emerging in about 6 hours of in-game time as 10th level characters. Unless the XP awards are decoupled from "encounters", and hitched to accomplishing an overall mission, then level advancement is REALLY going to fly too fast.I also don't like the loss of "attrition" adventures, which are a cool part of the genre as a whole. Even "24" style adventures, with a time deadline, would seem to me to become unusable, because there's no reason to not fight your way through the whole scenario, unless a DM uses overwhelming encounters all the time as roadblocks, not a fair option in my opinion. I'd have to see how it plays, because I just don't see it working.</blockquote>
