Apr 13, 2004 17:05:55 If a gaming sessions turns into a metaphysical bull session about the nature of the planes and reality how much XP should be awarded? Based on amount of input I think, but this puts the PC's with an 8 Int at a disadvantage.

Apr 13, 2004 17:55:57 Did their discussion change anything IG, were they acting IC and get a deeper understanding of their characters goals? Were NPC's involved? Any of the characters reach some kind of epiffany? If you answered no to all of these I think you should award a negligable amount, maybe more if these characters are faction members or clerics/wizards/spellcasters w/access to high level spells. Whats their general level?

Apr 13, 2004 21:01:39 The characters are low level. The discussion hasn't happened yet, but I predict it will. We argue about such things often enough in real life. I think the players are going to take to the factions like fish to water.

Kender-Rogue will probably end up a Cipher

Cleric of St. Cuthbert will probably be a Signer

Barbarian(borderline evil munchkin) will likely join the Doomguard(cause its got "doom" in the title)

Wizard will likely join the Fated, but thats more likely based on the player.
