[QUOTE="Ranes, post: 1560634, member: 4826"] In my campaign, there is only one character who makes anything and all she does is scribe scrolls, so there isn't much of an XP hit there. Characters have died and (in one case) been raised, so a 1 level gap has materialised there but it's shrinking. I also award individuals XP for roleplaying but I keep the awards tiny - no more than 50 XP. There was the time when I awarded XP for a combat encounter (in which everyone had been at the same level and would be awarded the same amount of XP) and everyone levelled up, except the mage. I hadn't been keeping a close eye on who had what, XP-wise, that evening. The mage, who had created one first level scroll that session, missed her level by 1 XP. She scowled at me, wondering if I was teasing her. After she had explained what her expression was about, the conversation went like this. "So, are you going to let me have one more XP?" "No." "Oh, come - " "But let's handle the individual RP awards now, shall we?" And lo, everyone was happy and there was much feasting on popcorn, garlic mushrooms and fruit bats. [/QUOTE]
