>you receive Double XP for solving a problem (that’s very soon to be violent) with a non-violent solution

Wild animals/puzzles need not apply.

>Alright guys, check out my Diplomancer build...

Eh, just give the same amount. Being a good guy shouldn't be mechanically different, it should just feel right.

>Hey user we need someone to play a tank this time around
>party procedes to do everything possible to prevent fighting

I don't mind it because it's fun RP, but goddamn my character is just /not/ helpful at all when it come to out of combat interaction

There's always "help another" checks, if we're talking DnD and the like.

Yeah, but "I assist" is just gets old after a while

I mean yeah they're glad I can give them advantage on their rolls, but just not a lot going on for my fighter sometimes

Initially it’s to stop constant and rampant Murder-Hoboing but I’m just throwing out ideas here.

>you receive Double XP for solving a problem with a violent solution

Depends on the problem and how well it was solved.

>Ancient golem defending the magic gem
>Find a clever way to disable the golem and steal the gem
Full XP
>Orc war party threatens to attack the town
>Convince them to retreat
Half XP
>Orc war party threatens to attack the town
>Defeat the orc chief in an orcish poetry slam to earn his respect
Double XP

Look at it this way: if they kill dudes, they solve the problem. If they befriend the dudes, they solve the problem and get friends.

>"During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, Prince Johann II placed his soldiers at the disposal of the Confederation but only to “defend the German territory of Tyrol”. The Prince refused to have his men fight against other Germans. The Liechtenstein contingent took up position on the Stilfse Joch in the south of Liechtenstein to defend the Liechtenstein/Austrian border against attacks by the Italians under Garibaldi. A reserve of 20 men remained in Liechtenstein. When the war ended on July 22, the army of Liechtenstein marched home to a ceremonial welcome in Vaduz. Popular legend claims that 80 men went to war but 81 came back. Apparently an Austrian liaison officer joined up with the contingent on the way back."
