[QUOTE="Monayuris, post: 7829228, member: 6859536"] In general, I prefer objective and tangible reward systems over abstract and arbitrary. 4E skill challenges are another mechanism for providing objective and tangible rewards. I know that a X complexity skill challenge will yield Y experience. For the coup situation... I would probably grant experience points based on the wealth value of the domain that is being overthrown. It would be more difficult to overthrow a king than it would be to do such to a borderland barony. This has the side effect of making the experience award tangible and objective to the players. A group of politically opportunistic players seeking to upset the status-quo can make an accurate assessment of the value of a given domain, and as a result make an informed decision with regard to which polity they wish to overthrow.
