[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1500744, member: 99"] The system we use was never really intended to explain the XP progression for NPC, especially not "commoners". But I will note that many of the categories imply conflict, personal growth or movement toward a significant goal. These are represented on a scale that is beyond what most run of the mill NPC's will encounter on a day to day basis. As to the matter of the rate of progression, I have a spreadsheet that was developed by a player that shows how fast the characters will gain levels given a variable average number of "tic marks" on the sheet. I typically estimate that the average player in our group will get 7 tics per session. At that rate, they can expect to go from 1st to 2nd in 2-3 sessions, 2nd to 3rd in about 3-4 sessions, about 4-5 sessions for each of 5th-8th levels and gradually increasing from there. Toward the top of the scale, the sheet indicates that 18th to 20th levels take 8 or 9 sessions to gain each one but we've never played at those levels so I'm not sure that holds true. Anybody who wants the sheet can feel free to e-mail me and I'll send it to you. Just mention the XP spreadsheet in the subject line. [/QUOTE]
