[QUOTE="ruleslawyer, post: 3427029, member: 1757"] Some DMs prefer keeping everyone on parity power-wise and giving out different awards. For example, I arbitrarily advance my group every x sessions (they seem to enjoy this), I've radically slowed down advancement, and I hand out glory points (like hero points) for attendance and good role-play instead of XP. If you prefer XP to be your reward system, I'd just recommend cutting the advancement rate. It's really, really easy to do, and the designers point out quite clearly in the DMG that the suggested rates are just guidelines. If you prefer a level to take 40 encounters instead of 13.33, just divide XP awards by 3. You may also want to consider using the Unearthed Arcana XP variant. Really, though, I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're trying to do. Would you like to slow level advancement? Somehow change the pace of level advancement? Fiddle with the wealth-by-level guidelines? What exactly is the goal here? Tell us, and I think we can help you. [/QUOTE]
