[QUOTE="Warmaster Horus, post: 7321522, member: 6785438"] I'm not entirely a fan of Checkpoints if it means players are leveling too quickly. I know Mearls is a big fan of hurrying PCs along but if a level flashes by so quickly players barely have a chance to inhabit them, that seems like a loss. As a DM I've had to do a bit of work to make sure my players weren't leveling beyond the challenge level of Omu and the ToA. We've played nearly 50hrs of ToA thus far and the group is closing in on 7th level. Just a little bit above where I want them but manageable. Using the Checkpoint system they'd all be 9th level and the game thus far would of been much more rushed. That said, I can see where it would be good to have players get xp for time spent in-game over primarily combat encounters. The RP/Trap Avoidance 'per-diem' for ToA (50/250/1000/2500 per 2 hrs) is lowly compared to combat xp, for example. [/QUOTE]
