[QUOTE="Darrius_Adler, post: 6408226, member: 18288"] Ok, so this is the xp calculations I am thinking of going with and the final XP progression chart. As I mentioned this is for a chat game and as such the XP rewards work very differently than in table top. For any given short adventure (figure a several hours of real world time) the maximum xp a PC can receive is equal to the Medium XP award for their level as listed in the Basic DMG. An adventure that is run over several days allows the xp to be earned once for each day. The chart below assumes that you typically get half the Medium XP award for your typical encounter. So if your managing to earn the maximum xp in each adventure you go on then you will halve the number of encounters needed to level listed on the chart. I am sure this probably looks like pretty slow progression but in a chat where there are multiple DMs it is possible that one person may manage to go on several adventures in a single day. It is slower than table top but it is a necessary change for a chat setting.
