[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8242577, member: 12731"] I personally prefer absolute XP over the relative XP used by Pathfinder 2. That is, instead of an Orc yielding 40 XP when you first start out, and then 30 XP when you have leveled up, and then 20 XP when you have leveled up again... ...I prefer that if an Orc gives 40 XP (say) it does so no matter your level. It's always 40 XP. Instead you need more and more XP to level up. In short, classic XP.
