I would agree. Quest level should be awarded based on the
difficulty of the
quest. This includes the the amount and type of infomation 
required, the
competance (or lack) of the political opposition and what
all the locals
will do to help or hinder.
After all, there is often little help a very high level
party can easily get
(that is measurably helpful) compared to what even the
resources of a
well-to-do village can do to augment bunnies on a
comparitive basis.

You are absolutely correct Stephen.

IIRC the original intent was to enable higher level PCs to
progress at a reasonable rate. We were, at the time,
discussing a standard stucture for EP awards and had the
following categories for each evening (4 hours) of roleplay:

0-500 for turning up on time, prepared etc
0-500 for your roleplaying
0-500 for your contribution
These were felt to be good, and it was so. 

BUT what works for a begining level PC would stultify a high
level. So an extra award was designed, cunningly hidden in
the term Level, but really it was an experience bonus to
enable mid to high level characters to maintain a reasonable
rate of growth.

Therefore it is my understanding that a standard Level Award
per evening is required, based on the level of characters
the GM feels is appropriate for the adventure. 


Others obviously have an alternate view, and i am interested
in learning how they achieve the intent stated above.

Anyway, ask Rosemary, as i seem to recall Level Awards was
her brilliant idea (and no this is not meant as a hospital
pass).

regards,
Ian

No. My mistake. It's the first Sunday in December this time. The 7th.
