[QUOTE="incognito, post: 586994, member: 7008"] [u]Drawmack:[/u] yeah, but an elf with 16 CON does not seem like much of a penalty, if i can guarantee a 20 DEX, dig? No, you could start with an 18 tho, that'd get you 20%. In answer to you question. The benefit works out so that you will hit the next level first, and then end up earning a reduced amout of experience (becasue you are a higher level), +20%, becasue you have a high CHA. Consider the character who does not have the high CHA, and ends up leveling first, he get the redcued amount without the bonus - which is a case we have now. Strongly disagree. Fighters types are expected to get into melee, wizards and such are not. getting "1' on a die roll put s a wizard in the 25% hp bracket, but the fighter in the 10% hence the bump for fighter types. I AM tempted to remove d8's tho. DCs for Know (Monst) start at 10, and have been as high as 35.
