[QUOTE="Quidam, post: 2199084, member: 3391"] The party assaulted the Temple of Evil. They weren't prepared well, but survived, taking down a mess o' mooks and a couple of lieutenants. The high priest and several other named NPC's survived. As the Forces of Evil were pulling back to regroup, the Forces of Evil-Crushing popped away with a couple of well-timed teleports. Question: who gets how much XP? The party gets XP for each kill, to be sure- but how much for surviving the encounter if not exactly trouncing the Baby-Eating Blackguards? Partial XP rewards for forcing the BBEG & Co. to regroup? How partial? At the session itself I gave the PC's full XP for kills and half XP for the foes that were survived. The baddies *were* regrouping if not precisely retreating. The party fled. Do the baddies get full XP or only partial because the party wasn't destroyed outright? How much XP given to the Society for Global Annihilation? The entire party survived, but the assault on the temple was repelled, albeit at the loss of some Soon-To-Be-Undead. I love levelling BBEG's (recurring villains are so much more satisfying when you finally take them out for good) but want to do so fairly. [/QUOTE]
