Experience Points

#1 Post by OGRE MAGE »

As any players who have been in my games in the past know, I try new experiments fairly often. This one will be another test. :D

I would like to try distributing XP as we go along, instead of only giving it out after an adventure. I will use this thread to keep track of who got what, so please do the same if you need it for keeping your sheets up to date.

I am not 100% certain how I am going to structure this yet, so if you see something you think might work better for whatever reason, please feel free to voice your opinion.

I will also likely be giving out personal rewards here and there for outstanding ideas or great roleplay or whatever, so if any of you ever feel like something another character has done deserves a little bump, feel free to discuss it ooc where I can see it as a reminder and make that determination myself. Thanks!

I will start with rewards for completing your intro's into Xambaala.

For fending off wild dogs and huge lizards in the desert, along with some great introduction roleplaying, I will reward everyone in the game with 150xp.

Please record that on your sheet when you get time.

I will also be keeping a tally here in this thread for every character as well. Let me know if you have questions or see anything off.

Drest: (Scout 3 / 7000) 4650xp
Xenos: (Death Soldier 2 / 6000) 4650xp
Valkrina: (Bard 2 / 5000) 4650xp
Akhilleus: (Fighter 3 / 8000) 4650xp
Khalid: (Pyromancer 1 / 2500) 150xp
Tuurma (Berserker 1 / 2500) 150xp
Ceana: (Druid 1 / 2000) 150xp
Kain (Cleric 1 / 2000) 150xp

Tracks In The Desert....cont.

Finding the captives in the kitchen and killing their hungry captors.

Learning something about a person named Jeoffery.

Learned something about Xenos and his past. (whip scars)

Akhilleus saving the entire group by killing 2 slaves and 2 imposter snake-men priests all by himself.

Killed 4 Dwarfs guarding the basement rooms. (58gp already split?)

Left behind obvious treasure on the ground.

Killed renegade slaves who were simply protecting their people.

Finding the 8" x 8" glass pane, Wand of Blinding?, and 2 - Amulets of Disguise Self? (have these been equally distributed yet?)

For a total of 6500xp. Divided 4 ways would be...

1625xp each

With the steady attrition of characters in this group, it looks like everyone but Akhilleus leveled up, so go ahead and post your new HD rolls in your sheet threads for me. Thanks and congrats!

Drest: (Scout 3 / 7000) 7349xp
Xenos: (Death Soldier 2 / 6000) 7399xp
Akhilleus: (Fighter 3 / 8000) 7349xp

Lost Mausoleum

Killing a grey ooze and 20 Gloom-Eater Zombies (1500xp)

Losing a party member only to have to kill him again (100xp)

Finding Maxon's notes

Shield, Staff, Potion, Scroll, valuables (6,500xp) (most still unidentified, some still unrecorded)

Inadvertently (and unknowingly) solving the main plot hook and eliminating the undead creatures from roaming the Inner City at night. (5,000xp) (there was also a handsome monetary reward offered by the Satrap for doing so, but you bypassed that business to get right to the action) :mrgreen:

13,100/6 = 2184xp each

Tuurma: (Berserker 1 / 2500) 804xp + 2184= 2,988xp
Ceana: (Druid 1 / 2000) 300xp + 2184= 2,484xp
Kain: (Cleric 1 / 2000) 150xp + 2184 + 218 = 2,402xp
Cormag: (Fighter 1 / 2000) 2,184xp
Taihbse: (Shaman 1 / 2500) 2,184xp + 218 = 2,402xp
Belloc: (Magician 1 / 2500) 2,184xp + 218 = 2,402xp

Congrats to the 4 of you who leveled up! Please post your new Hit Die roll in your sheet threads and adjust your sheets accordingly.

I will warn this group one more time as well. I do NOT keep track of players sheets for them. If you don't care if your sheets are current and accurate, I cant either.

If you are one of the players who still hasn't updated their sheets with the items you've found, and I see at least three of you so far, I would really appreciate if you would take the few minutes to do that at some point. Don't make me call you out personally!
:lol:

It seems I had forgotten to check sheets for the XP bonus due to high ability scores, so if your PC qualifies for that 10% addition, please post that info here so I can adjust your totals accordingly.

Thanks!

Return To The Ruins:

Traded info with desert nomads. Finished searching palace ruins where a baked clay disk was found. (Ceana) viewtopic.php?p=673508#p673508

Iron Toad Idol
Golden Cone (already used)
50 gp challice

Killed rats. Discovered hidden tunnel to Lower Level.

Survived dangerous encounter with the Toad Matron:
1 amulet made of withered flesh and twisted herbs
1 Bronze Censer (200gp)
3 Rubies (500gp) - profits to be shared
Dagger
1 pair of shell shaped driftwood castanets
1 moleskin journal with detailed information on fungi species and their effects
4 vials with liquids of varying colors (Sleep, Poison (II), Antidote, Unknown)
1 human flesh bound book with magical phrases, sigils, and notes on spells (Darkness, Befriend Animals, Bless, Charm Person, Sleep, Ventriloquism, and Levitate. None in the group can decipher the three remaining spells in the book)
1 doll of a dwarf with long iron pin
A single page of notes with info about an invaluable magic item called the Theosophist’s Gem and a scribble stating "the dwarfs must know something"


Even though you have a huge party, you hit the "mother" lode with the Toad Matron and all her magic spells and goodies.

Adding everything together and dividing by 9 gives each member of the group 1350xp. (+135xp for those who qualify) (1485)


Drest 7349 + 1350 = 8699xp
Xenos 7399 + 1350 = 8699xp
Ceana 2484 + 1350 = 3834xp
Akhilleus 7349 + 1485 = 8834xp *
Kain 2402 + 1485 = 3887xp
Cyril 2699 + 1485 = 4184 *
Taibhse 2402 + 1485 = 3887xp *
Belloc 2402 + 1485 = 3887xp *
Sik 0 + 1485 = 1485xp

As always, I am getting these stats from your sheets, so if you aren't updating them regularly, you probably aren't reaping all the benefits you've earned.

Dwarf Caves:

Found some renegade dwarf slaves who claimed to be products of the snake-men before you violently eliminated them.

Stole their solid jade statue of Ymir (500gp value?)

Discovered what a couple of the items you took from the Matron did. (or didn't do)

Did not find anything resembling a magic gem of any kind.

But.....once again......everyone survived. :mrgreen:

Everyone can add 300xp to their sheets.


Drest 8999xp
Xenos 8999xp
Ceana 4134xp*
Akhilleus 9134xp
Kain 4187xp*
Cyril 4484
Taibhse 4187xp
Belloc 4187xp
Sik 1785xp

Go ahead and adjust your sheets if you leveled up and post your new Hit Point rolls in your Sheet threads. Thanks!
