[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6363234, member: 22424"] Not really. The problem being that such a character is likely to spend at least some time with an effective level lower than the rest of his party. This means that when calculating XP, the DM should award more to that character than to the rest of the party, allowing him to 'catch up'. I can tell you that if you choose to pay down LA as soon as possible, you'll need to pay 7,000XP once you hit 6 [i]class[/i] levels (that is, not counting LA or monster hit dice), and a further 9,000 once you hit 9 class levels. If your DM [i]doesn't[/i] give you extra XP to catch up, then that would put the table at something like this: Your level - XP - Party level 1 (+2): 3,000 : 3rd 2 (+2): 6,000 : 4th 3 (+2): 10,000 : 5th 4 (+2): 15,000 : 6th 5 (+2): 21,000: 7th 6 (+2): 28,000: 8th 6 (+1): 28,000/35,000: 8th 7 (+1): 36,000/43,000: 9th 8 (+1): 45,000/52,000: 10th 9 (+1): 55,000/62,000: 11th 9 (+0): 55,000/71,000: 12th 10 (+0): 66,000/82,000: 13th 11 (+0): 78,000/94,000: 14th 12 (+0): 91,000/107,000: 15th 13 (+0): 105,000/121,000: 16th 14 (+0): 120,000/137,000: 17th 15 (+0): 136,000/152,000: 17th 16 (+0): 153,000/169,000: 18th 17 (+0): 171,000/187,000: 19th 18 (+0): 190,000/206,000: 20th I hope that's of at least some help.
