[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9674797, member: 18"] Interesting! I've literally never even seen this be an issue, let alone experienced it. And I've played since literally 1989. We tried milestone in late 3.XE (so like, 2006?) and really liked it, then in 4E we started as tracking XP for a couple of months or so but abandoned it for actual fiat (not milestone) levelling based on when I felt was right, and in 5E the DM in one group I played with was very keen to track XP and we did. For like four sessions before everyone was like, must we? Especially as tracking XP was causing us to actual level up faster than made sense for the campaign! I will say, in practice, 70%+ of "milestone" levelling is actually fiat levelling (which is not a problem, but it's a bit of a misnomer imo). And like, if you'd told me in say, 1993, "Oh you'll level up when the DM says you do!", I'd have left your game lol. But I feel like we're a very different place now.
