[QUOTE="The_Gneech, post: 4483591, member: 6779"] The only real difference between the [i]Saga[/i] and the [i]d20[/i] is the underlying math. The [i]d20[/i] section is designed to replicate the "13 encounters per level" model of 3.x, while the [i]Saga[/i] numbers are based on the "(total foe levels)/3 = party CL" model. The main way it differs from Pathfinder is the numbers. Conceptually it's the same idea (and as I mention in the document, it was inspired by the one you wrote up). [b]Edit:[/b] I should add, my original writeup worked perfectly well for [I]d20/D&D[/I] but didn't work properly for [i]Saga Edition[/i] because I didn't realize how fundamentally different the expected experiences were. A CL 20 encounter in [i]SWSE[/i] is only worth 4,000 XP, as opposed to the 64,920 XP it's worth in [i]D&D[/i]. Thus, for each level you gain in [i]SWSE[/i], the next level take noticeably longer to get to, as opposed to [i]D&D[/i]'s "13 and ding!" model. -The Gneech :cool: [/QUOTE]
