[QUOTE="Kanegrundar, post: 2298070, member: 3913"] Whatever floats your boat, but I personally dislike XP systems are are pretty much up to fiat. Roleplaying is so subjective and not everyone has the same idea on what makes up good roleplaying. Unless everyone is on the same page on what constitutes good RP, you take the chance of overly unbalancing the XP between the party members and not to mention causing unrest among the players. The best XP systems have set qualifiers, IMO. Whether it's by killing monsters or completing goals. That's not to say that there is no room for subjective awards, but putting it to a vote is not really the best idea. Plus, find a way to spread the wealth. If one player is a much better roleplayer than the rest of the group, don't just give him the awards every time. Just because one guy doesn't roleplay a lot doesn't mean that he's missing the point. He may just be shy or uncomfortable roleplaying the way the rest of the group RP's. Kane [/QUOTE]
