[QUOTE="redrick, post: 7331719, member: 6777696"] Well, either we both failed our reading comprehension or this whole section is half-gibberish. I'm going with the latter! From DMG page 82, under "Evaluating Encounter Difficulty." And then, from page 84, under "The Adventuring Day" (including what you quoted above): And then the table has "Adjusted XP per Day per Character." So, basically, contradicting statements on the part of the DMG, but I believe that the intention of this table is [I]not[/I] to give the amount of XP a character should earn. Furthermore, it is my experience of actually adding up XP for encounters, even including XP for non-combat encounters, that we never once hit these numbers in an adventuring day, no matter how challenging the day. You'd have to fight only solo monsters. (Which are, admittedly, xp handouts.) The most continuous game-time I've had in a 5e campaign was probably a campaign that lasted about 9-10 months and met weekly (obviously with some weeks off). When we finished, I think characters were 8th or 9th level. That was encounter-based xp awarded, basically, "raw". [/QUOTE]
