Like I just did...The DM said everyone who writes a background for their character gets 350XP. I do know for a fact that a one-page description would have sufficed. So I got around 0.025 experience points per word. I am tempted to convince my DM (he's running 3.5) to give out 1XP per word, but that would break his game and ruin most of the players' fun, so I better not. I might also come out as an overachieving powergamer, which is not the case.Well, actually I did go way overboard.Any other ways to tell if one of your players is a DM?And GMs, how would you like it if one of your players gave you that a long character description/history/background?I understand some don't want any, don't want to memorize it and all that. I'm not worried about that with this particular DM, he's very much into stories and might even out-quote me on my backstory. What I do regret is that I haven't had too much time to concentrate on the literary aspects of it, so if the things I write about aren't that appealing to him, it might be a boring read. But I hope not.If nothing else, I should get my 350XP out of it.</blockquote>
