(If this deduction would not reduce the character's ECL by 1, the character's XP total is set at the maximum of the level below his current ECL instead)."And another part (which I had missed in the game I've been running):"The payment must be make immediately upon becoming eligible to reduce the character's level adjustment."So in the example you gave:ECL 4 (+ LA) at 6,000 xp (4th level) you must immediately spend the xp to reduce your level - thus ending up at 3,000 and being a 3rd level (ECL 3) character.Now if you started at 5,999 and received 3,050 xp (at one time) - you would have a total of 9,049 (4th level, ony high in the band).You must immediately buy back the level (cost = 3000 xp), but that leaves you at 6, 049 (still 4th level). So the other part comes into play and you new xp total is 5,999 and you are a 3rd level character (ECL 3, no LA).</blockquote>
