Idea: extra XP triggers
There are plenty of grumbles about experience points only being awarded for killing things, and the rules for arbitrarily giving out more for completing tasks are pretty vague. Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this other than "just use milestones"?
I'm tempted to borrow some ideas from PBtA/BitD and give everyone some per-session XP triggers, e.g.
I have tried doing XP triggers before and I found it a little difficult to keep it fair between characters. If I were to do it again I would award the whole party XP when an individual fulfills a trigger.
Fair point, I think we'd definitely need a session zero where we decide the triggers together so everyone's happy and they're roughly balanced
