Sep 6, 2017 at 2:54 comment added nijineko Of course not. However, if the goal was to get to something or somewhere beyond the dragon, or perhaps something in the dragon's possession; then sneaking or diplomancing gets full xp for the encounter, same as combat. The context of the encounter and the goal thereof is critical to determining how to award XP. If the goal was instead to kill the dragon, then no, sneaking would not meet the intended goal and should get no XP. How the goal is accomplished is actually not important to awarding XP, and is, in fact, part of the fun, especially when the players surprise you.
Sep 5, 2017 at 22:19 comment added Tim Grant @nijineko, sure, avoiding a trap can be as good as disarming one. But sneaking around the dragon is not the same as slaying it.
Sep 5, 2017 at 20:09 comment added nijineko Actually, knowingly avoiding an obstacle does grant XP under certain circumstances (as does simply surviving it) - see the traps section for an example of that. If you miss it by dumb luck, then maybe not.

Luck and cleverness don’t necessarily merit XP, but maybe Inspiration

Sep 4, 2017 at 8:02 comment added Olivier Grégoire Just for clarification, I didn't use the Deck of Many Things for the purpose of getting this card, because I didn't know it specifically existed. It was the first time I encountered this item. I only excellent things could happen as well as the worse.
