Now, how does this translate to XP? Say, one person has been playing for 20 years and another just joined the game. You start a campaign and the 20 year veteran misses 20% of the games. You don't award him XP, and I do. This doesn't change his ability to roleplay his character, and since I'm not arguing with your premise, he's a better roleplayer (forever) than the newbie.Your examples disregard my views of what XP itself is.Would the gaming experience be more fun if he were a 2nd level wizard in a party of 7th level characters? It wouldn't to me. And, my players can pick up a high level character and play it. We've done one-offs where we wrote up 12th level characters many times. We've done epic play with a one-off as well. To us, levels are just numbers.</blockquote>When you start saying one player is better than another, and the better players will have higher XP totals, its hard not to see that as a status symbol.[/QUOTE]
