The risk is known (by all at the table), stakes are set up front, and that is weighed against the cost of earning that XP.They cannot use a simple bond like I strive to keep the party together and make some indirectly related check with disadvantage in order to gain an XP.I require the stakes to be significant or in the instance of great roleplay to be praise-worthy by the table (not just me as DM).Let me give you an example of my concern with the advanced TB2e mechanic you mentioned:Player declares goal is To rid this ruined temple of Myrkul and the catacombs underneath it of Evil and then proceeds to motivate the rest of the party to go slaughter some undead, when in all likelihood, knowing that player and possibly the group, they would have done that anyway with the same risks/costs. So it is an empty reward. No character discovery/development.</blockquote>
