[QUOTE="Harzel, post: 7721337, member: 6857506"] I have always given XP for exploration, and I have been shifting toward giving quite a lot of XP for goal accomplishment. I might reduce or eliminate XP for combat (except as it contributes to goal achievement), but some of my players would have to make a system shock roll to survive that. So w.r.t. the proposal [LIST] [*]I like (a lot) the direction of giving XP for exploration and social "accomplishments". [*]For me, 100 XP / level is too coarse-grained. (Just personal preference; probably reflects the same impulse that would lead me to ditch d20 in favor of d100 for a lot of stuff if d20 weren't so iconic.) [*]Mapping difficulty/challenge to tiers is also too coarse-grained for my taste. [*]I don't like the 'meaning' of 1 XP changing across levels. (Again, just personal preference as it can be seen as just a reskinning.) [*]And XP for treasure? No, just no. [/LIST] Summary: Mechanics 6/10; Aesthetics 2/10. No ideas here that I would use that I didn't already have. [/QUOTE]
