Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joshua Randall" data-source="post: 3224585" data-attributes="member: 7737">A couple of people have said "XP should be awarded based on EL instead of CR". Uh, isn't that effectively how it works now?The APL 5 characters encounters two CR 5 creatures, an EL 7 encounter. At this APL, CR 5 = 1500 XP, times 2 = 3000 XP. If you used the EL as a CR, then a CR 7 = 3000 XP.You can freely substitute EL for CR. (This may break down at the extremes of the XP table, but it certainly works in the big middle part.)Also, why all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over calculating XP? There are a variety of good web-based or offline sites or programs that can do it for you. It takes maybe five minutes, and that's if the PCs are all different levels and encountered many different ELs. If the PCs are all the same level and the ELs match, then calculating XP takes about 30 seconds.</blockquote>
