I was half expecting things involving succubi, erinyes, nymphs, Loviatar priestesses and certain... special equipment.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> But here are some things that would have netted us extra XP in the past:Interrupt the BBEG's speach - but not with "I CHARGE", but with:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> A snarky comment - 100 XP, plus 50 for every party member who laughs at the BBEG</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> A spell or action that compells the BBEG to act in a shameful/ridiculous manner - 100 XP or more, depending on the situation.</li> </ul>Other Incentives<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Play to your characters weaknesses and get in trouble because of it - 10% extra XP for the resulting encounter (or 10% of the XP you got had you won, in case you lose or have to flee)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Convert another PC to your faith - (50 x his character level) XP, or 200 x if it's some sort of priest or champion</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Convince another PC to change his alignment - same as the faith thing</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Deface an enemy faith's altair and suffer divine retribution - 10% extra XP for the resulting encounter (or 10% if you have to flee)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> If caught doing something sneaky, be honest, even if it gets you into trouble: 10% XP, yada yada</li> </ul>We did it, too, without expecting any extra XP:We made fun of BBEG's: "I haven't killed anyone, but my friend here has several marks on his axe, but he has no axe" - "Oh, I see, a born rhetorician!"We interrupted a BBEG's actions with magic: "Now, my victims, you will.." - "HIDEOUS LAUGHTER" - ".. ahahahahahahahahah(............)ahaha, oh. Where was I? "You were rolling on the floor laughing like an idiot"My current evil character (CE drow swordsage, shadow hand and desert wind techniques) often tries to get information from officials (to see how much they knew about our crimes), and because his bluff bonus was so bad, he gave himself away all the time as they instantly knew there was something fishy about him. This would lead to all kinds of fun (either a brutal slaughter - which is always fun - or a mad dash for freedom, being hunted down by half the city watch). I just fear that this won't work any more now that I have have to use a mask of lies to mask my alignment (it grants +10 bluff). Every second city official seems to be a paladin or priest with detect evil prepared.There was that one incident with a temple of Bane, where we slaughtered all priests, urinated on the altair, and wrote songs and prayers of the Churches of Sune, Eldath and other directly opposed to Bane's dogma into his prayer books, using red lip stick, I think. The Infernal (that epic monster) he sent killed our priest in one round, and we chose to vacate the area.</blockquote>
