In Blood Sword, if you have a Warrior in your party, he'll lose experience points from the total awarded at the end of a book, if he does something really cowardly or ignoble such as refuse to help a questing knight fight a sorceress that's way beyond his power level. | |

In Nothing Is Sacred, the amount of DP that Stella earns from her dueling matches is dependent on both how challenging her opponent is and how much of a challenge they present. A completely outclassed foe will provide her with no DP, a challenging foe that presents very little challenge due to favorable draws provides a reduced amount of DP, and a challenging foe that actually forces Stella to struggle to win will provide her with a sizable amount of DP. | |

Super Paper Mario has this trope in its most literal form: Killing a Cragnon while he's Brainwashed and Crazy will deduct from the team's accumulated experience points. As they spawn infinitely, killing enough Cragnons can actually make you level down. | |

Possible in Persona 4 with Shuffle Time. A card that can appear during Shuffle Time is one that cuts the amount of experience earned from the previous battle in half. As a trade-off for doing this, you get to pick two more bonus cards, which can be useful for Min-Maxing. | |

Similar to the above Marvel Super Heroes has Karma Points which can be used to increase abiilities or buy new powers. If a superhero does something not so nice (such as being rude to someone) they lose some Karma. If a superhero kills someone they lose their total Karma points (so the Punisher or Elektra will rarely get to improve in anything). The only exception is Wolverine who has Popularity Power to save his Karma. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide: if a party of PCs has 10 times (or more) the hit dice/Character Levels of the monsters they're facing, the Dungeon Master should at least halve the Experience Points they receive for defeating the monsters. Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: Multiclassing incurs an XP penalty unless one of the character's classes (ignoring Prestige Classes) is their race's "favored class". Humans and half-elves get to choose their favored class. The optional Bloodlines rules from Unearthed Arcana can also result in an XP penalty if the character doesn't take a "bloodline level" at some set points instead of a regular level. |

Overwatch players who repeatedly quit games earlynote that is, before the "VICTORY!" or "DEFEAT" animation appears; exiting during the team shot, the Play of the Game, or the results screens doesn't count as a quit will be slapped with a 75% penalty to EXP gains. The penalty persists until the offender completes a set number of games. Fortunately, levels are only needed to unlock Competitive Mode (at level 25) and to earn Loot Boxes for strictly-cosmetic items, but quitting in Competitive Mode carries more serious consequences than just a reduced rate of Loot Box gain. | |

In Mass Effect, killing enemies while riding the Mako cuts experience gain by 60%. Thankfully, attacking enemies with the Mako doesn't instantly qualify for a penalty, so you can whittle an enemy down to a few hit-points with the Mako's weapons, get out of the tank and kill the enemy with your own guns for full experience gain. | |

Neverwinter Nights: A Multiclassed character receives a 20% exp penalty if the levels of their individual classes are apart by more than one (for instance, a 3rd-level Wizard/5th-level Rogue). When travelling with companions, experience gains percentages are reduced depending on how many characters are in the party. (This is balanced out by the fact that the game will spawn more enemies, and therefore a higher base exp, for larger parties. |

In the Xenoblade Chronicles series, killing an enemy more than about 20 levels from your own will give you much less experience. This not only applies to weaker enemies but also to stronger ones, as there are cheap ways to win some battles against high level enemies that would give too much experience without the penalty. | |

Dragon Quest VI: Gaining levels in classes is determined by the number of battles fought against sufficiently strong enemies. If the character's level is too high for the area, battles fought in that area no longer count (the Spiegelspire is the first area with no level cap, making it a Peninsula of Power Leveling despite the enemies not being endgame-difficult). | |

DC Heroes: Hero Points are the game's version of Experience Points (they can be used to improve the character). If a PC initiates Killing Combat (tries to kill an opponent), they lose all Hero Points they normally would receive for the adventure. If they enter Killing Combat only after an opponent initiates Killing Combat with them, they only lose half of the possible Hero Points. If a player doesn't roleplay their PC properly (e.g. violating their character's Motivations or displaying sudden personality shifts) then the PC will forfeit the standard Role-Playing Hero Point award. |

In Stellaris, leaders can get the Arrested Development trait, which prevents them from gaining experience and subsequently from leveling up. The Stubborn and Slow Learner traits both reduce experience, with the first being a personality trait and the second one being a biological trait.

In City of Heroes, the penalty for dying was gaining "Experience Debt". While in debt, half of the XP you earned would instead go toward working it off. The original "exemplar" system, where a hero's level would be artificially lowered to match a partner in order to help with that partner's missions, caused players to gain Influence (the game's currency) instead of experience, though this was later changed so that exemplars would gain experience normally. The game also features an option to disable gaining XP. This would primarily be for players who wanted to experience all story content available without outleveling it (though the Flashback system offered a more robust alternative). |
