NPC XP

Ok, I leave it to a vote. This is not limited to those going to play either, though I would like some posts so I can see where the players fall on this topic.

I tend to run Major/ Party NPCs one of two ways, depending on the preference of the players.

Either:

(1) they get a full share of XP equal to the PCs themselves; just as if they were a PC. They grow as the PCs would.

(2) as an NPC they get less XP, usually a half or three-quarters of, the XP the PCs receive. They are, after all, run by the GM.

You decide.

Ok, so the second vote was from who?

I know who the first vote was from...

That would be me, despite my lack of posting in icky mick's, as i want to have the character figured out before introducing him. which is hitting some snags as we figure things out about mages together here, as you well know. i figured i am still eligible to vote, if i am mistaken, feel free to ignore it

Heck no...ANYONE can vote, I just appreciate knowing who went in what direction with it.

So 75% is winning 2 to 1!

Ok...as no other results are in, and it is a tie, when I start the game NPCs will ge the same XP as players would.

It will make for easier book keeping for me (less math) and will bring the NPCs along at the same rate of the PCs so the group will rise and fall together.
