D&D 4TH HOUSE RULE:

XP for Cinematic Effects/Roleplaying in Combat.

Cinematics/Roleplaying in Combat: Every time you describe any ENCOUNTER, DAILY, or AT-WILL power you
use in combat (without quoting the book), describing how it looks, and what happens in a non-technical way,
you will receive 5 XP as bonus Role Playing Experience. Considering that there will be between 10-20 combats
per level, and most combats take around 8-16 rounds to play... Well you do the math. It is going to add up very
quick.

Example of getting XP by using Witchfire: I cast Witchfire. A bright white flame bursts from the Lich's, mouth
and hands, as he stiffens in agony. He takes 2D6 + 4 damage and has a -4 to all his attack rolls until my next
turn.

Example of NOT getting XP using Witchfire: I cast Witchfire. He takes 2D6 + 4 damage and has a -4 to all his
attack rolls until my next turn.

Example of getting XP by using Thorn Strike: I use Thorn Strike. I swing my weapon at the goblin 5 feet away
from me and ghostly vines spring from my weapon wrapping around the goblin, pulling it closer to me. I do
1D8 + 2 damage, and he gets pulled one square to me.

Example of not getting XP by using Thorn Strike: I use Thorn Strike. I do 1D8 + 2 damage, and he gets pulled
one square to me.

I am not going to retro game it, if you forgot to do this before you roll your dice, it is too late for XP. I will be
tallying this behind my screen and adding up the role playing experience after every session. The reason for
this, is I find with the new rules and the cards you print off, it focusses on the mechanics more in the text. I
want us to experience the fluff behind the mechanics, so we can all visualize what is happening in combat.
When I play an RPG I play for the story and roleplaying, not for the mechanics. If I want mechanics, Miniature
wargames in my opinion have much better combat rules. In any case, I am hoping this promotes people to
describe more what is happening, in addition to the mechanics, instead of just the mechanics.

This rule is not mandatory, but you will find yourself falling behind in XP early on if you don't participate.
