[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8649103, member: 86653"] Yep. That's why I do something like the other poster where individual PCs have goals and get XP for accomplishing those, the party has a mission and gets XP for accomplishing that, I also do XP for gold as I enjoy the old-school exploration-based play that fosters. No XP for monsters though as the game I'm running isn't about slaughtering everything the PCs meet. Absolutely. That's why I don't bother with worrying about those things in 5E. Too many bypasses and I win buttons in regards to food, water, and wilderness survival. It's just not worth house ruling or banning those to kludge the system into something where those would be meaningful. Hex flowers are great for weather. I find usage dice to be way too gamey for my tastes. If it's worth tracking at all, it's worth tracking accurately. I think. I couldn't use that. The players would just endlessly game it and get infinite XP from the jump. [/QUOTE]
