Experience Points

These are the experience points to award based on ‘My Experience Point
Rules’. Basically these rules are:

 No experience points for Skill Rolls (unless it’s blindingly brilliant or

applicable skill roll), Casting Spells, taking Hit Point or Criticals.
 Travel Points as normal.
 Defeat points instead of Kill Points. These are awarded whenever any
opponent is defeated, which could include completely evading and
avoiding an opponent.
 Miscellaneous Points awarded for achieving various objectives
throughout the scenario.
 Idea Points are awarded at +100%, rather than the usual +50%.
 All points above, except Idea Points, are earned per group rather than
per individual to encourage more team play.

The idea is to avoid Experience Point tracking within the game itself and get
on with the role-playing. Better to let the GM do it all out of play (better yet
to already have it written into the scenario).

Travel Points (per PC)

Journey to the Northern Waste (110 miles Civilized, 250 miles Normal, 120
miles moderately dangerous) = 110 x ½ + 250 + 120 x 2 = 545.
Traveling around the Northern Waste (7 days, 525 miles) = 525 x 2 = 1050.

Defeat Points (divided between PCs)

Nimraug (30th Level, 1550 x 4 never done before) = 6200

The 15 Verinen Metsästäjät (3rd Level) = 15 x 200 = 3000
Rautakäsi (6th Level) = 350
Riimulaulaja (7th Level) = 400
Dîndae (10th Level) = 550 x 4 (never done before) = 2200
Miscellaneous (per PC)

Returning the Horn of Nimraug to the Mulkan villagers = 250

Returning at least one of the Palantíri to the Mulkan villagers = 500

Miscellaneous (divided between PCs)

50% casualties are expected so...

Koiramies survives (8th Level, 450 / 2) = 225
Unipyydystäyä survives (6th Level, 350 / 2) = 175
Each surviving Mulkan hunter (2nd Level, 150 / 2) = 75 (remember to
multiply this by the number of Mulkan hunters that survive)

Idea Points

+100%
