Or heck, just having a cleric makes things a whole lot easier with healing.The whole thing about raising or lowering xp based on encounters should be an external thing. If orcs are behind cover, that's a tougher encounter. If the party has lost its weapons for whatever reason and fights something, that's a tougher encounter. If the party fights some guy who uses a lot of fear spells, and the party has a paladin, that's the DM giving the paladin a chance to shine, its not an "easier encounter"So I would give the paladin xp for those traps. And even more, let's say that the paladin lost his immunity to fear for a while for whatever rp reason you can think of and he hits a fear trap. I would give him even more xp than normal. Why? Because that's an unusually difficult challenge for a man who is normally immune to fear. Hell, just the rp aspects of a paladin having to deal with fear would be worth the xp.</blockquote>
