Alternate Player Rewards

The Alternative Player Rewards System or the Exchangeable Player Improvement Chart  (EPIC) is EON's unique experience point reward system based on quality of play, plot relevance, social challenge, and quick thinking.
At the end of each session, individual players are rewarded with a experience points based on their triumphs in certain areas. Commonly rewards are given out for Line of the Night, Most Valuable Player, Best Melee, Best Ranged, Best Control, Best Support, Worst Idea of the Night, Nuts of the Night, and Best Idea of the Night. These amounts vary in value, with Best Idea of the Night commonly holding the most experience point value and Worst Idea of the Night holding the least. There are often also bonuses to the person who ultimately cracks a code or solves a puzzle or riddle.
In addition, the group is given a certain amount of collective experience points, which averaged around 1000 during Eon: The Jade Warriors (Spring 2008), about 1300 during Eon: The Frozen Fates (Spring 2009), and has dropped to 800 during Eon: The Throne of Discord (Fall 2009). The reason for this change is not because the party has been taking on less valuable challenges, but because the changing size of the party requires different amounts of experience to maintain a constant rate of advancement. Fulfilling major Plot Points nets the party an additional 1000 each.
These experience points can be traded in at any time for a variety of rewards from the DM:

==Ad-Hoc Character Improvement (Rating by TO)==
Reflash: If you want or need to reflash your character sheet, the new sheet will have 5% less experience than the old sheet (examples: 20th level old thing reflashes into 19th level new thing, or 17th level old thing with 75 personal exp reflashes into 16th level new thing with 147 personal exp). As always, all new sheets will be made with the help, advice and approval of the DM, who reserves the right to refuse a reflash to anyone.
