Can't find Experience Tables in 3.5 SRD

[dreaded_beast]

Could someone tell where to look for the Experience Tables (how much experience to give for the CR) in the SRD?

I also couldn't find the tables that tell you how much experience you need to raise a level as well as when feats are given, ability increases, etc.

I have the 3.5 PHB, but not the 3.5 DMG.

Thanks!

You won't find that info in the SRD. You need the books formerly known as the Core Rule-books.

Since you have the 3.5 PHB, best look there for everything but the Xp/CR tables (which are also in the 3.0 DMG, but not in the SRD).

 

[Frostmarrow]

The XP-table is on page 22 along with the frequency of new feats and ability increases.

Yeppers- what Frostmarrow said. Check the PHB for that info. It isnt open content, so won't be found in the SRD.

However, since it is not possible to copyright an equation:

Xn=Xc+(Lc*1000), where:

Xn = Experience needed
Xc = Current Experience
Lc = Current Level

Given that an equation is a method and one that is essentially inseperabel from its form, it cannot be copyrighted, and Hasbro has no patent on the above equation.

What they said. The other table you want - how much xp to give for a particular CR - isn't in the SRD, and we ask that it not be replicated here on the message boards.

Did 3.0e D&D come out before or after the game Fallout? I think they share an experience table... since Fallout is totally unrelated to D&D, it might be legal to reproduce that experience table.

For encounter XP by CR, I prefer to ignore the books and use this web page calculator:

However, since it is not possible to copyright an equation:

Xn=Xc+(Lc*1000), where:

Xn = Experience needed
Xc = Current Experience
Lc = Current Level

Or, if you want it in closed form so you don't need to know the last level requirement:

Xn = (Lc^2+Lc)*500, remembering that Lc is the current level and Xn is experience needed for the following level.

Given that an equation is a method and one that is essentially inseperabel from its form, it cannot be copyrighted, and Hasbro has no patent on the above equation.

Some publishers have included an XP table on that premise (quicklink and GreenRonin).

However, whether it is copyrighted or patented may be irrelevant. By using the license, you agree not to use non-open material from cited works without permission, which does not rely on established rules of copyright doctrine, but rather terms of a license.

Is this really true?

I would be very cautious of accepting any posting of having any
sort of legal relevance. You really have to go talk to a lawyer.

That aside:

Is this really true? A license may state a particular requirement, but
my understanding is that that doesn't make the requirement valid or
enforcable. In particular, can 'fair-use' of non-open material be prohibited
by a license agreement?

(I find curious the presumption that what is written or apparently agreed to is in
all cases binding. For example, and I've encountered this in real life, you
might sign a non-compete agreement with a two year term, but, generally
speaking, two years for such an agreement is non-enforcable and non-binding.
I've been told that the accepted reasonable period is more like three to six
months.)

Also, in the examples, the formulas may not be restrictable, but the content
that lays behind them may. In this case that content being the symbols and
their definitions.
