[QUOTE="Immortal Sun, post: 7620224"] Kay, I rather lightly skimmed the last 8 pages. I hope you're aware that your singular response to the OP doesn't mean you've got the final answer on things. I also wasn't talking to you in particular, so I'm not really sure where you're going off with the rest of this. Oooookay? That's some interesting name dropping there, but not being familiar with all of those things makes this paragraph wasted on me. I'm not saying I'd like a more in-depth response from you, I'd actually prefer no response. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA "well researched" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA Omg I'm sorry but pulling the "I need you to cite your sources." card in an internet discussion forum is just hilarious to me. You can browse the various threads about awarding XP on this various forum to find that DMs are less likely to reward XP for non-combat situations and resolutions than for combat ones. Also, lets just assume for a moment that the primary game I play, like most people on this forum, is D&D. So doing some more name-dropping with [I]games that aren't D&D [/I]really isn't going to get you much credit. Secondly, pulling out a game that was developed only a few years ago, and obviously accounted for people who were interested in rewarding non-combat situations doesn't help your argument. I've played in numerous games and I'll tell you one surprising commonality: killing monsters gets you the best XP. Not killing stuff gets you reduced or no XP. Anyway, wanted to get back to this, but I don't have any real interest in further discussion with you. [/QUOTE]
