Message: <blockquote data-quote="Demoquin" data-source="post: 2105680" data-attributes="member: 27818">If i was a DM i would give full XP as well. I know my DM tries to go out of the way to reward players that use tactics instead of hack and slash. But if it cant be accomplished than by all means fight till the death!!!I am a 3rd lvl Rogue that needed info on the Pirate organization terrorizing the city. We are told where it is located and was provided a ship. I (wanting to become an Assassin) ask the Mayor (DM) if their might be a Thieves' Guild around to maybe scrounge some useful 'hard to come by' information. I track down some leads (Gather Info) and find someone who knows of a certain guild but is relucctant to talk. So i follow him (Hide/ MS). He goes home and to sleep. I sneak up to him and Intimidate him into talking with a dagger to his throat (20 INT  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  ) Kill him and have the location. I find out that there is a way to tell a pirate from a non pirate (besides the eye patch lol) ... a silver necklace. What would have happened if i didnt secure the necklace? I mean i put a lot of effort to gain knowledge before we actually head out to Cape Dread and by doing it safely. you bet your last gp i was rewarded with some XP (i might be able to talk for more as i was only rewarded for killing the lead and hide/ms checks )If the party delibrately waited for the Griffons to fall asleep then i say by all means give full xp. As they could have slained them in maybe an hour or two instead of waiting till dark. That time could have been spent getting more xp or further to their destination. And they did use some resouorces to aid in the battle. Just because a Rogue can stealth up to the target doesnt mean they should get less xp. He does possess a chance to fail and be mauled. But that is the life of the rogue. Chance. He chanced his fate with some minor goodies and WON. Case Closed</blockquote>
