[QUOTE="Ignominia, post: 6713948, member: 6785978"] One of the things I love about 5th ed is the flexibility WOTC gave us to change the way we play. One of the ways they have let us change up the formula is to do away with XP entirely, and let us dole out levels at story line specific moments. I was initially very impressed with this and adopted it quickly. However, Im finding it has its draw backs. It can lead to VERY long periods between level ups, for example. I found my group was struggling with a dungeon they were in. I didn't want to level them up until they reached the next level of the dungeon, so I gave them a side quest. I assumed this side quest would take an evening or two at the most... and we are now on our 4th session of this side quest... My group feels like they aren't getting anywhere and I kind of agree... What are your experiences? Do you use the XP model? or the Story Line model? Which do you prefer? [/QUOTE]
