They were advancing fast and i had more and more people play hence making bigger encounters. I think the average was about 1 level every other week, with some people gaining levels once a week. Now that I have gone to the FR way of divying up XP we have finnally slowed down the level of progression to one every 3 or 4 sessions. That to me is fine and fair way to do it as I don't like tossing out a EL 5 or 6 at a party made up of 9th levels. My PC's HATE (and i use that term accurately) lots of lil encounters that just piss away their time, they like the big boys one on one to them, they like the challenge the daring that a big mob brings on to them. I usually give them EL's on par or 1 higher or lower than the avg party level. They like the rapid advancement and I have slowed down the rate of encounters (one time it was 10 encounters per session..now i've learned better!) and the PC's are blowing more and more spells and new tactics on random encounters..just wait till i hit them with several probing raids...</blockquote>
