It is by design in 3e that characters will level quickly, particularly at low levels which makes sense as a single crit from something like a Kobold could drop a lot of classes into negative HP and a crit from something that deals normal levels of damage like an Orc or Hobgoblin would again drop a 1st level fighter or barbarian a lot of the time, which is not a lot of fun.If encounters are largely of an EL just above the party level then they will level very fast as the XP will normally be something like 600 XP per encounter which with 3 PCs would equal 200 per PC per encounter, so five encounters = next level for first levels and 10 encounters for 2nd to go to 3rd.Edit: of course the most important thing - did you have fun like this? </blockquote>
