Rewarding character points.

[whswhs]

GURPS is designed to work well with award of 1-5 CP per session. If you want to base this on kills, figure out how many kills you expect a party to make per session (by whatever statistic you want to use to measure "kills") and divide by some number X, where kills divided by X comes out around 3 or 4.

I also give CP for mission success or progress toward adventure goals.

I really do not like giving out CP because a disadvantage was, well, disadvantageous to a character (they get CP up front, so that would be double dipping in my opinion). And I am not going to give extra CP to a player just because they cripple their character with excessive disadvantages beyond the limit of the campaign because they want to make a 'good' story. When it comes to opponents, I do stat them out because every combat matters in my games (PCs fight masters, not mooks, in my games).
