Feats of Hexploration for DCCRPG or other Old School Rigamaroles


I’m still running DCC peons through Tegel Manor, but the usual DCCRPG Experience Point doling is a bit too slow for us, as we only play two to three hours a week. Thus, I’ve added these achievement-based XP rewards.


The game is pretty much RAW, but it doesn’t hurt to add this system a nd some MVP votes on top of it to wrap up the session with the feels goods.


If you want more ideas, try out Arduin XP, which I posted about here.


Achievements:

  • Roleplayed being the leader well (like used an in-character tone to give orders to other PCs): 5×LVL extra XP.

  • Dutiful doorman or scout or both: 5×LVL extra XP.

  • Risked self to help another: 10×LVLextra XP.

  • Someone died: 5×LVL extra XP to everyone.

  • Damn fine roleplaying (only the Judge can say this one was done): 10×LVL extra XP.

  • Got a killing blow: 5×LVL extra XP or 15×LVL XP extra XP if it was a crit.

  • Found one or more treasures: 5×LVL extra XP for everyone.

  • Figured out a puzzle or riddle: 10×LVL extra XP.

  • Went down to 1HP but no lower: 5×LVL extra XP or 10 ×LVL if you had to be rolled over and lost a point of ability score.
