[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 5050197, member: 82504"] I read the above as xp gained for each gold gained which was what was being discussed as it was from the rules. We are not communicating very well either direction as I assumed the above was claiming ignorance of the rule? True its not objective I think that the DM is supposed to make that adjustment (tracking that lonely gp found on the street so you dont get xp for it?) could be just a RAW argument for academia... rather than a difference seen in real life play. Sorry didnt address your question. The percentages for this one were about 4/5 non-combat experience... though because combat can take a bit longer play time was higher than 1/5 for the combat and there was combat that was just incidentals in a chase scene. In this particular case there isnt even a BBEG... the person responsible accidentally created the issue. I feature a lot of "man against the environment" things and have my kids roleplaying with me, so I like mystery where it is about figuring out what has gone wrong. None of this means it will be typical any more than my experience with AD&D is necessarily typical. (I think the last play I did may have actually been doing 2e ) hmmmm say is there an actual chart showing actual differences between 1e and 2e? < --- never mind I can web hunt that my self I think we are so diverged from the balance in AD&D question it is silly if you feel like positing it in a different thread.... AD&D was created with balance in mind. I actually wonder why this poll was put up? [/QUOTE]
