The players that put more development into their characters backstory get more plots or screen time around their characters, because I find the players who don't bother as much with the development are playing for other reasons. Instead of bennies, my group uses Plot Twist cards. Each either gives a little bonus in certain situations, or complicates the story for the PCs and awards some XP. The more roleplaying focussed cards offer varying rewards in XP based on how much detail the player puts into it. However, 98% of the XP rewards go into the group's pool and are divided up equally at the end of the encounter or session. I just recently divided my deck into two, with roleplaying and combat cards, as the size of the deck was becoming cumbersome and unfocussed. If you're interested in finding out more, there is a thread on it in the 4e homebrew section.</blockquote>
