[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4464786, member: 710"] I think the intention was to speed up leveling a little bit for 4E. IIRC, 3E assumed 13.33 encounters of your level to gain one level, and 4E assumes 10 encounters of your level to gain one level. (Encounters also includes skill challenges and quest rewards). The rules do not presume you run only equal level challenges (both in 4E and 3E), this just sets a "baseline". IIRC, my DM in our Savage Tides conversion is working with 8 encounters per level (with a 4-man party). I think it was a little faster in my Keep on the Shadowfell campaign, which I ran mostly unchanged for 4 PCs instead of 5. (So no real surprise here). I think the best we got were 8 encounters per session (~8 h). I think one level per 1-2 sessions is to be expected with my group. That is not much differently from 3E, I think, but it might be a little faster in advancement overall. So, how many encounters do you run per session? Did the number change in 4E? "Armed" with this knowledge you might know how much it effectively changed for you. [/QUOTE]
