GM/Player Style: Rewards & Incentives

[The Zappster]

I find the problem with level increase games like D&D is the time and effort it takes to do the level up. At the begin of your campaigne you spend every other session totally redoing your character because the levels come thick and fast and you barely get to know your characters abilities before you have to do it all again in a session or 2. At the other end of your campaign your waiting months and months to gain enough xp to level up and even then your game might end before you have enough. Then you have to try to remember where you were going with your characters spells or feats etc. Give me skill based any day.
