If the group gets jumped by bandits, but they manage to talk their way out of it, do they still get XP? Is it limited to just those who did the talking?For me, I’m fine if PCs don’t advance in lockstep with each other because the game I run isn’t about fighting against balanced encounters. I do have a “catch up” mechanic, but that’s because I’m trying to emulate how advancement in B/X works. B/X uses exponential tables. In B/X, if I die and come in at 1st level while the party is 6th, by the time they get to 7th, I’ll have caught back up to 6th. I prefer standardized XP awards*, so I fake that “catch up” aspect by giving double XP to those below the median level.[HR][/HR]* 3 XP for completing either or both of your goals, 1 XP for each goal you help someone else to complete, 3 XP when the group completes its goal. Gaining a new level requires spending XP equal to that level times five.</blockquote>
