[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8649212, member: 70468"] If they’re going to “game it”, they’re going out and doing things. That’s the point. The mechanic is working as intended. On average*, it should take ~70 sessions to reach 14th level (the cap because my system is based on B/X) or ~140 to reach 20th level. I think that is a decent pace rather than “infinite XP from the jump”. However, if someone is not engaging with the goal mechanics honestly, then that’s a social problem, which should be handled outside of the game. [HR][/HR] * I assume at least one completed goal per session (worth 3 XP) and three helped party members (worth another 3 XP together). I also assume the group completes a mission every three sessions. That puts the average XP at 7 XP per session. It takes 469 XP to reach 14th level and 959 XP to reach 20th. That yields 67 and 137 sessions, but that seems like a false precision.
