XP...Dient
Posted On 03/17/2009 01:57:23 by redd

When I was a young DM I went through the "Monte Hall" stage where I would give out magic items and weapons like candy on Halloween. It always came back to bite me on the buttocks. Fortunatly I've grown out of that phase. One thing that I've noticed with all the "upgraded" games is that the XP award tables seemed to have expanded as well. Now the PC's can hack and slash their way through level after level and ruin the enjoyment for the DM to keep them challenged. That is if you follow blindly the methods set down by the game creators.

What I'd like to know is what, if any, method do you use to award XP in your game. Do you find that your PC's grow very powerful very fast?

Are you looking for a way to slow the tide of advancement? Or are you a Player that prefers to advance a bit slower (Yeah right).

In my group we are challenged every time we go out.  It does not help that our DM has maxed his roll on the last two random encounters; but 4E seriously limits what you can do with magic items, at least if you are playing a level appropriate game.
