Message: <blockquote data-quote="John Dallman" data-source="post: 9440969" data-attributes="member: 6999616">I played one session of AD&D1e with a group I knew from SF fandom. After the first fight, they were surprised that I hadn't kept track of the damage I'd done to each opponent. After some confusion, they explained: they'd found the table of monsters in the back of the DMG, which expressed their experience point value in the form "X, +y per hit point." So they gave out experience per hit point damage you'd done, and the character who took the opponent down got the base value as well.It's sort of logical, but too gamist, creating weird incentives, and requires far too much record-keeping for my taste.</blockquote>
