[QUOTE="Brimshack, post: 4223416, member: 34694"] In first edition, I never used the treasure x.p. (I'm not familiar with 2nd.) I did double the x.p. for combat whenever the character's were perceived as winning the encounter and gave them solid bonuses for taking or defending positions, saving npcs, etc. If everyone in a village survived because of something the PCs did, they got x.p. for that too. Plus, every now and then they got a battle on their own terms. Of course there were others where the odds were stacked against them due to the situation, but sometimes, just sometimes, they caught a break. To me that was a lot of what role playing was about. If the players handled role playing right, then others helped them and they made good decisions, thus putting themselves in a good strategic position. If they role played badly, well then they got no help and tended to fight out about enemies just as the ambush was sprung on them. [/QUOTE]
