Amelia, Natan, and experience...

[Guest Drithius]

Why is it that you get more experience for being duped by Amelia (Firewine Bridge encounter) than you do for exposing and killing her? 5000exp for entering into combat with her (a VERY difficult fight if the majority of your party does not have +2 weapons) + 1400exp for the kill VERSUS 8000exp for siding with her and killing Natan. Just seems wrong to be rewarded for playing dumb.

Hmmm. While xp reward approaches vary widely over the project, and there is no set standard, as seen here:

this seems a bit off. I am leaving this up for a bit for author(s) comment, but if noone from the project posts within 1 week, I'll reduce the amount to 6400, erasing the smart/dumb/good/bad difference for roleplayers.

Confirmed, v17 pre-release.
