For some reason they decided to use a 4/3 multiplier in this one instance rather than a 3/2 multiplier. I can only assume that this is a bug in their table7 <= level <= 19 and CR = (level - 5). For some reason in these particular circumstances on this particular diagonal they decided to switch from "divide by 6" to "divide by 5 and a third". Maybe they got tired of seeing all the xp values end in 0 or 5, and they wanted other integers to spice it up a little? The difference amounts to between 50-100xps less on the spreadsheet rather than by the table, which isn't much.I'll probably put in a fix for the first one, since it makes a significant difference for CR 5/7/9/11 encounters at 4th level, giving too much according to the chart (even though I'm convinced that it is a bug in the original chart <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Cheers</blockquote>
