[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 639963, member: 545"] That sentiment is why we have DMs and don't spend our roleplaying sessions in front of a computer screen playing in an infinite randomly generated dungeon. Presumably those traps are there for a reason. The fact the paladin is "lucky" enough to have the exact correct immunities is not sufficient reason to shortchange him xp. He deserves as much xp as would an other PC in the same circumstances. BTW, as a general rule, I think it is better to give the bulk of the xp for plot goals and only token xp for individual fights and traps. For example, if the goal is to cross the Screaming Forest in order to rescue the princess on the other side, there should be xp appropriate to the overall danger and difficulty involved. Being bumbling idiots that keep stumbling into random monsters should not be worth significantly more xp than having a skilled druid along or finding/hiring a local ranger who can speed you past the dangers.
