4e has this.Just for a twist on this twisted topic. What about EP for not fighting, or just plain spending a lot of time talking to NPC's.

Interesting.4e has this.
No. But as it happpens I've been reading the book (I've got the late-80s reprint) over the past few weeks.Did any of you ever try playing Empire of the Petal throne?
I'm not sure about the official 5e XP rules.5e has this also, does it not?

It seems like a bit of a mis-match: there's all this history, cultural and linguistic detail, etc; but then all the actual gameplay looks like it's straight from classic D&D (dungeons, marching orders, XP-for-gold, etc).
I would think of it as science-fantasy rather than sci-fi - though maybe that's just terminological quibbling!It is definitely the first sci fi RPG ever published. Tekumel is easily the most fascinating world ever created too.
