Maybe for the "endgame" something equally direct would be appropriate - number of citizens in your village/city/empire? Number of followers? Adherents to your faith?

You can also gain EXP by capturing new monsters, defeating NPCs of higher League rank than yourself, and winning specialized performance contests with your monsters against other players or NPCs.<br /><br />In addition, they encourage the styles of the various trainers in the franchise. Many classes gain boosted experience from normal activities, and all gain it from their own specialized conditions. A Breeder, for example, gains XP for raising new monsters, and several abilities that let them "engineer" their offspring. A Type Ace gets bonuses to elemental abilities, and gains bonuses for defeating other Aces and clever uses of the elemental wheel.<br /><br />It's a bit complicated, but it's a very interesting system; if you're interested in the other XP rewards they have, look for "Pokemon Tabletop Adventures" via Google.
