Quick question, I'm about to start running Kingmaker and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the PC's received exp for fully exploring a hex. For some reason I can't find this in #31 or #32. So did I imagine this? Or am I just missing it. If I did dream this up then what would you think is a reasonable exp bonus for fully exploring a hex? or is giving any exp for exploring a hex not really necessary?
They get the same bonus for a hex explpration in all chapters- it doesnt scale like the quest XP. 100XP per hex, or 25XP per hex per player (works well in larger groups)
Okay I thought so. What page was that on again?

Page 59 of KM#31 under Rewards for Exploration.

I thought James clarified in another post that it is 100XP per hex, and that each PC gets the 100XP (not divided by the number of players)

Here he says it is a party award, not a per character award:
Awesome! Thanks for the clarification guys! Just got back from picking up the whole adventure path and map folio. Really excited to start up this amazing AP! :D
Thanks IronWolf - my mistake.
It's the 400XP for quests that is for each character (and not split).
I confused the two.
Seriously? That seems wonky to me. Where did you read that?Thanks IronWolf - my mistake.

Wow. Did I mess that up too?
I wish the APs were clear on that... well, no big deal - my PCs are still on track to hit 4th level buy the end of Stolen Lands and I'll just adjust down the XP at the end of our next session to compensate for my mistakes.
Thanks guys and gals. I really do appreciate the Paizo / Pathfinder community and the messageboard contributions.
Just to clarify: All xp rewards (exploration, quest, story) are for the entire group (and needs to be split between them). This is stated somewhere in the Stolen Lands GM reference thread by James Jacobs (I'm lazy, so I haven't provided a link).

I believe it is assumed that there are 4 pcs hence 100 per. If you have 6 pcs give em 600 xp to divide amongst themselves.
thnx,
PJ

I've sort of been working on a FAQ to help ease the burden that is reading through all the posts in the sticky threads to see how a question was answered. Here is the link to where this was stated in the Stolen Lands GM reference thread:

All XP awards we list in APs, be they for exploring hexes, killing monsters, doing quests, story awards, or whatever are meant to be Party XP awards. They're divided equally up among the PCs. They're never individual awards; that kind of XP award doesn't show up in our APs since individual XP awards should remain 100% in the control of the GM.
