D&D 5e - Award XP to One PC

**rocketvaultgames** · October 31st, 2024, 00:00

Is there any quick way in D&D 5e to award XP to just one PC?

I'm picturing something like dropping a quest onto their sheet or icon (when connected)... but this (as expected) just shares the quest.

Currently the only ways I can find are:

Remove everyone else from the party sheet; add the quest and click 'award', then add everyone back.
Overtype on the character sheet in the XP field

I'm considering a house rule of awarding XP (likely level*10) when a player spends inspiration and I'd like to be able to do it as quickly (and accurately) as possible.

One way is to drag from the encounter/quest list in the party sheet XP tag straight to the desired character.

You can drag from any number field and drop it onto the xp field on the party sheet.

When you say drag to the desired character, where/what do you mean to drag to and from exactly?

I think you got it from MR Z, but the XP field on the party sheet.

All set. Thank you both!

Trying this out live last night, my players said that only the player that was awarded the XP was shown the message in chat.

Is there any way to toggle that to broadcast to everyone? If not, is there any indication to the GM that it is only broadcast to one player? For many messages that are hidden from all players there is an icon to show that so the GM isn't wondering, is there anything for selective messaging?

I don't know. Awarding xp like this is pretty much non standard so it's probably not getting broadcast through the normal channels.
