It is a bitter fight, but the party is victorious.Party 2 hears of a Red Dragon that is seriously wounded, prepare themselves for the fight, and catch it unawares. The party dispatch the dragon with very little difficulty and little danger to themselves.Now, are you the sort of DM who believes that both groups deserve the same amount of treasure?And for Anubis: Are you the sort of DM who believes that a Party with the standard array (10's and 11's) faces the same challenge as a Party of 4d6 godlings (15's and 16's in abundance)?I don't understand what is so hard to grasp about making sure that the players are FAIRLY challenged and FAIRLY rewarded. The reward (both in XP and GP) should be commensurate to the risk. Self-evident, I would think.Wulf</blockquote>
