[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5321247, member: 2011"] I think this is a matter between the DM and players. The reason WotC has 10 encounters between levels is that it takes multiple encounters for players to not only get accustomed to new abilities of their own PCs, but it also takes a while for players to get accustomed to new abilities of the other PCs at each level. Doubling the RP doesn't mitigate the issue between fast and slow games. If a slow game is 2 levels per year and a fast game is 5 levels per year, doubling RP will take the slow game to 3 levels per year and the fast game to 6 levels per year. At the same time, the players in the slow game have even less time to get accustomed to their PC's and the other PCs' abilities (because the game is slow, those abilities are not being used). If the game is going slow, the players should talk to the DM (and vice versa). At the moment, all 3 of my games here are dragging and it's pretty disappointing, but I don't think that leveling PCs faster is the answer to that. Since the fix doesn't seem to address the problem, I'm leaning towards voting no. [/QUOTE]
