Silly XP Question


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


As much as I run, I should know this... but in a given encounter/area; when it comes to giving out XP, do I use the encounter's listed CR, or do I tally up the XP for each individual creature?

For example, one of the goblin fights in RotRL. The encounter is listed as a CR 2, which equates to 600 XP. Combining the XP listed for the creatures, the overall total comes to 605 XP. A small difference in that scenario, granted; but the question still comes about, which XP total should I be giving my players?

Go with individual creatures. The CR listed in the encounter heading is to give a GM a rough idea of the challenge of a particular encounter, and don't always equal the total XP from each creature/trap/haunt/etc in each encounter.


Thanks!
