ITT: We worldbuild pretending that 5e is a perfect simulation

No.

i dont get the one about the bee

>>54353029
characters in D&D earn xp by killing things and that lets them level which makes them better at all their various skills

>>54353231
I've literally never had a GM give me experience for killing things. We usually either got so much experience at the end of an arc, or they just told us to level up once or twice.

>>54353231
Except that's not how it works, especially since 5e reframe it to gaining XP for overcoming challenges and encounters. A single bee is neither, unless maybe you're allergic to bees, and at that point it's more akin to a trap that you have to make a con save against.

Plus 5e has so many optional rules for how you can do things that it's hard to get any sort of unified RAW setting.

>>54353293
anything with a challenge rating of 0 is worth 10 xp

>>54355135
By that logic everyone should be level 20 from constantly breathing.

The correct answe is that not everything has a challenge rating.

>>There are objective, quantifiable differences between the races

But that's just like real life, except in our world people pretend that there aren't any.

But all animals do have a challenge rating. So a lifelong hunter/trapper would get to a fair level over time.

>>54355695
No.

>>54355695
Animaps have a challenge rating in the context of an encounter. Which doesn't apply if they aren't a challengw or it isn't an encounter. If you roll Survival to hunt and bag 2 rabbits, you don't get 20 XP.

And none of this applies at all if your DM goes for Milestone so instead so you only get it for accomplishing major goals. Which is again why trying to make RAW 5e land is tricky thanks to optional rules.

Stop playing D&D.

Yeah, which is why the scout npc has more hit dice than a commoner
