Let's say that a part of the dungeon with X monsters can be either passed through combat OR through careful diplomacy, can the players be awarded XP points the same way if they choose the latter? It seems like it's a cool way to reward role playing instead of just fighting - and the players can save spell slots/per-rest abilities at the cost of the loot. Is that something that D&D supports?

\$\begingroup\$ Not an answer to this particular question but as a DM you can award XP however you like, or play without any XP at all (which I'm personally more used to). \$\endgroup\$– CubicAug 14, 2019 at 13:16
