Ok, so I am not normally heavy into picking apart the math of a system but I was working on an xp breakdown and discovered something really odd. It looks like it is actually easier to go up in levels past level 11. That feels a little off to me.
Kinda posting this up here so someone can double check my math and make sure I am not way off. The difference in number of encounters to level between going from level 10 to 11 and from 11 to 12 seems a little nuts. Why the sudden downward dip in the xp required to level? I am basing the number of encounters off the xp awards for the medium column on the Basic DMG PDF.
