Would it be possible to allow surviving party members to get the dead members experience?
So if completing a mission is worth 1 exp per squad member and two guys die, then the other two pick up one additional exp each?
You could also choose to take less templars on a missions if you were trying to build one or two guys up faster.

"Lesser Templars sent on mission= more XP", agreed.
"More Templars killed on mission= more XP", sounds like squad mismanagement actually. Should be punished and not rewarded.

I concur. We will take the XP bonus from killing Aliens and split it between all the Templar on the mission, including dead Templar.

I would never condone the intentional use of a red shirt on a mission to boost the XP of the remaining characters. Just thought that rewarding survival might not be a bad thing.

Well, if the dead Templar gets to be revived back at the fortress using forbidden Technological methods, those surviving ones get to sucker-punch him during the celebratory party for being too weak to survive and endangering the rest due to an uncovered position. ;D
That said, I had a mediocre Templar (Azrael) who was slower and weaker than the rest of the party.
Now, the funny thing is, he got left behind due to his slow movement while the rest of party are waiting for him at the extraction point. I was fully expecting him to get killed as the situation was thus:
1) He is left with 2 HP.
2) He only has 4 CP per turn.
3) His back is turned towards a STRING of xenoforms so that he could employ all 4 CPs for running towards the extraction point.
4) His Evasion is 3.
5) He is getting attacked 3 times per turn.
6) It would take him 8 turns to reach the rest of the party.
7) His gun is EMPTY.
Guess what? After being attacked more than 20 times, he reached the extraction point alive still with the 2 HP intact! The bugger deserves a beer! However, a true Templar would have turned around and punched the living daylights out of every single xenoform in sight till he's dead.

His brothers shouldn't have been watching him from the extraction point while impatiently tapping their feet or having a cup of tea.

His brothers weren't wrong. The player was lazy. ;D Edit: Also, I imagine them egging him on as he raced to the finish line like a group of cheerleaders.  |

I agree that the extra XP should not be given for dead members. Heh maybe they should be able to draw gene seed from the dead Brother for some reward.
