Challenges and Rewards

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This expanded system allows GMs to calculate experience rewards for a wide range of non-combat activities. From exceptional skill checks that change the direction of the game to in-character performances and personal sacrifices, this PDF provides simple explanations of how to calculate the CR of the activity and reward players.

Now with this PDF you can:

*Calculate the CR of breaking out of jail
*Calculate the CR of winning a bardic contest
*Calculate the CR of sacrificing money or items for the benefit of others

Ideal for politically motivated campaigns or low-combat sessions, use these rules to award XP for talking a local lord out of raising taxes, engineering a new item that benefits others, and a host of other possibilities. No more guesswork or worrying about under-rewarding/over-rewarding the party. This is a balanced, easy-to-use system.

The CR for Skill use rules are poorly designed. Without giving away the intellectual property content, the fact the CR is built specifically on character level/skill level based factors violates the d20 design principle that CR's are absolute (a [...]

This expansion to awarding Experience Points is an ideal way to reward Players for their non-combat actions. While many GMs may do this already, the possession of a formula to make such awards is very useful.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b&g [...]

This product provides some simple but effective means to determine CRs and gauge rewards, making nice additions to the SRD. However, this publication is more of an essay than a book, IMO. The Cover, ToC, and OGL license take up 1/2 of the publication. [...]

Challenges and Rewards The game of D&amp;D is built for combat. The easiest way to gain levels is by killing things and the DMG does suggest getting XP in other ways but really fails to say exactly how that can happen. I would have [...]

Challenges and Rewards from Bards and Sages Publishing does exactly what its first page says. It offers a few hard and fast rules that allow GMs to give a decent amount of experience for non-combat challenges. The idea is a good one. Giving a set of eq [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
