Role-Play Bunuses to XP
Scotley/Tylara: 100 xp
Mowgli/Manny: 100 xp
Lou/Xavier: 100 xp
(That cuts Kerlan's lead to 50 xp, if memory serves. Kerlan previously received a 150xp role-play bonus wayyy back.) It was a good run, Kerlan, but you had to know that it wouldn't last forever, right?)
And, yes, this is done just to equalize xp among the party. I can live with Kerlan having 50 more than the rest of you, can't you also? From now on, I'll try to still award good role-play with bonus xp, but it will be added to the group's total, not individual awards. Therefore, the bonuses may be a bit larger so that you'll be able to notice the impact of the bonus that's been diluted among the whole party, and you'll still have plenty of incentive to WOW me with your awesome role-playing. Everyone is doing a fantastic job so far!
