Well, let me talk about XP then here. People may not only be going up one level, but possibly two! Yes two, you heard me right! This in-between time is going to be three-four months of game time, and if you guys play your cards right and role-play it well (and take opportunities afforded you) you may gain enough XP to go up an extra level. For the interim, let me give everyone their current XP totals, with commentary. No peaking!
Please keep your XP in spoiler text or an sblock on your character sheet please. Normally I don't worry about individual XP as much with PbP games, but since we have an artificer in the group (and maybe someone else may want to take item creation feats), and we have all this downtime, it's only polite. As I didn't give anyone specific XP amounts last time, these numbers are your complete XP total.
Rayni:
Spoiler:
[sblock]4,600xp. Excellent role-playing with Mel, fine showing of Rayni's uncertainty and fear in the face of her unknown powers. Nice touches with bits of Aerenal's culture, and good keeping of her mannerisms.[/sblock]
Mel:
Spoiler:
[sblock]4,600xp. Excellent role-playing with Rayni, I enjoy you two's budding friendship. Good use of your shape-shifting for information gathering, and clever use of your chaos shard.[/sblock]
Harolk:
Spoiler:
[sblock]4,200xp. Good playing of the party's "face," fun usage of Harolk's privileged upbringing, good interaction with the slightly confused Bail.[/sblock]
Hxaptšs:
Spoiler:
[sblock]4,300xp. Good role-playing of the multiple personalities, excellent asides of flickers of madness (checking for tentacles, etc), good interactions with the Voice, excellent idea to talk to the raver.[/sblock]
Bail:
Spoiler:
[sblock]4,300xp. Good role-playing of background versus goblins, and thinking of possibilities of the Plain. Excellent job of conveying BailÕs youth and inexperience with the greater humanoid world.[/sblock]
Tondrek:
Spoiler:
[sblock]3,400xp. Excellent role-playing of TondrekÕs personality, I like the switching from child to genius.[/sblock]
Shenystari:
[sblock]Spoiler:
3,300xp. Good role-playing of ShenystariÕs flashes into the nightmare world.[/sblock]
