---------End of Battle---------

XP Awarded:

4 Bandits killed: 100 XP
1 Bandit Leader killed: 100 XP

Total: 200 XP divided by 6 which is 33 XP to each member of the party.

--------------------------

Okay, I don't mean to be a bother... but why does the XP have to be divided between players?? Why not just let everyone have 200 XP like in every other D&D system???

@VKAllen

Because the kill XP would otherwise go to the killer. Since you ar ea six party, it's only sensible that you gain EXP as per divided.

[Sionnie]

@VKAllenI am not advocating Saff right now but i can't help but notice you failed to actually answer her question... She did not ask why she did not get the total exp undivided but why we did not get the total exp undivided.. as in every member receiving 200 exp being the undivided total.. again i am not advocating Saff and did not take issue with the current system but in the future I ask that you try to answer the question that was asked so to resolve an issue sooner..

(Saff would not have left this alone with an answer like that.. That is why it is important to give the information that was asked for specifically and not information that is irrelevant to their issue.. she wants to know why we all did not get 200 exp..)

@Sionnie

Very well. The explanation is this; you are a party of six, therefore any accumulated EXP is divided among the party members, just like an MMORPG would. This is the system that should be self-explanatory.

Quote from the Bible of DnD, the Dungeon Master's Guide:

When adventurers defeat one or more monsters-typically by killing, routing, or capturing them-they divide the total XP value of the monsters evenly amongst themselves. If the party received substantial assistance from one or more NPCs, count those NPCS as party members when dividing up the XP.

@VKAlleni think we are still in a tutorial stage and therefor like any tutorial we have to finish it to experience the real game.. as a reward for completion most games will give you the first or so level/s ... and with that i will be satisfied as our first level should be the easiest to attain and never takes long.. of course being a turn based multi player game where the players take long periods to become active, this will still presumably take time.. and some may become impatient.. if it takes this long and more to get level 2 than level 20 will be an absolute Nightmare.. (And i am not talking about the mount...)

@Sionnie

Unfortunately I will stick by the Guide at this stage-- Regardless whether or not this was Tutorial or Main Quest.

@VKAllen

not an issue... what i am trying to point out is that we should all endeavor to become more active.. at least try to post three times a day in character rather the one if we are lucky... I understand people get busy but come now.... we could all try harder..

I also find that many of the debates and issues would not have happened if the games pace where keeping us busy.. we have to much time to consider the game without spending enough time playing it..

@Sionnie

Alright, while i can agree more activity is always fun, it still seems a little excessive to ask that much commitment. People have other rps than this one to post in. They also have a life off site to attend. Ask yourself, will you be able to keep this deadline up yourself?

[Sionnie]

@Natsucooldude Probably though I do have a life as well being college courses and a job as well.. what I love about this site is the easy access anywhere with wifi.. even on one's phone. this is my only rp but I do play Guild Wars 2 with my guild. However if this is excessive than I do not want to expect so much... I do not want to be unreasonable. I really want this rp to take off.

[Bigg Slamm]

@vkallen could you pm me my links i can't open hiders on xbox. another handicap due to having no computer. XD

ps. it's thursday so if i don't post again anytime today it's because i'm probably watching game the game and critical role. :3

@Pikaroo95

looks good so far, don't forget to fill in your spell slots each day. My advice is having a standard array of general purpose spells to save on having to do this every day. You can switch in more specialized in the event that you know something would be coming. (For example, you know you will likely be facing a lot of undead soon, so you switch some spells with spells more suitable for fighting undead.)

If this seems like a lot of work, don't worry, as long as you didn't do something silly like only taking non-combat spells you'll generally be alright.

[VKAllen]

Everyone,

Please roll for Investigation.

[Natsucooldude]

whelp, I got the best roll ever
