[QUOTE="Lamoni, post: 4491971, member: 12680"] I just wanted to emphasize this as being one of the most important things to consider as strategy in larger encounters. If you can isolate one or two enemies for even a couple rounds, then the encounter can go from being difficult to easy. If you have a way to do this repeatedly, an impossibly difficult encounter can turn into an easy one. Getting back on topic, I think that full XP should be awarded all the time, but I would definately hold back milestones. If a DM repeatedly set up encounters with individual foes I would start to get upset as a player, and I wouldn't want to be punished as a player for my DM's poor planning. In the OP's example, I would hate to waste the time on 5 encounters against easy single foes. If the DM then said that we also didn't get any experience for anything we did that session I would be tempted to elect a new DM. [/QUOTE]
