The Haunting of Harrowstone (Carrion Crown ADVP 1) questions


Carrion Crown


Hi to all...
I am leading an adventure with a 5 players' group based on Carrion Crown ADVP. I have a little question about the reserach topics in the part 2 of the adventure: the XP awards must be split between all the players?
For example, the first research topic: Harrowstone, with a DC 10 check the XP award is 50 XP, then if I have 5 players each of them earn 10 XP (50/5)... is correct???

Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance...
Simone

No need to apologize. This is what the message board is for.

I've been giving it to them straight. I only have one PC (and a GMPC) so they need the help. I started them a level ahead and at the end of Trial of the Beast they remain a level ahead so it hasn't broken anything.

A five PC party might not need the help. If I were in your position I'd split the XP for the first adventure since it's not vast amounts anyway. Then see how they do and where they stand. You're the GM, you can run experiments on your players just as validly as they can test new character builds in your adventures.


I totaled up all the xp for the first book and if no changes are made, a party of 5 is quite a ways from the level 4 they should be at the end of the book.

For all the story/research rewards I ended up upping all the xp to give the same amount of xp per person that a 4 player party would have gotten. For example, for the 100 xp reward, it became 125 xp so each player got 25 xp instead of 20 xp.

I also bumped any encounter that had multiple creatures with the same logic. If a 4 player group would have gotten 200 xp each from X monsters, I added enough monsters to give 5 players the same xp total. This has the added bonus of giving my party of 5 a little greater challenge.
