Message: <blockquote data-quote="Secrets of Blackmoor" data-source="post: 6960128" data-attributes="member: 6866478">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.I was in a game several years ago and to get to the place we go and adventure we'd always come to this one place where there were troll guards on the road. I thought it would be fun to negotiate our passage with the monster, and it demanded one of our horses as payment. Not that I really cared about EP, but I asked the DM if we could get EP for resolving the situation and he said that because we did not kill it, we didn't. I stopped playing with that group a short time later because the players were basically murdering their way through everything and even torturing captives; not my kind of game, not to mention that it was Path Finder which I refer to as Rule Finder. (If I want fiddly combat I'll play civil war minis. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)--- The above criticism of Path Finder is merely an opinion. If you feel a need to fire a salvo, do so knowing full well that the hook has been baited and you may get trolled on the line a bit. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> --- Oh yeah, the next time they played I could not make it, so they killed the Troll anyway. I had grown rather fond of my troll friend even if it wasn't real.My new group has 2 novices and we play OD&D. On their first session they spent about 40 minutes talking to the innkeeper. Every group of players is so different.</blockquote>
