[QUOTE="MithrasRahl, post: 4046980, member: 43428"] We have a mixed level party due to deaths and people buying back LA +1. We're at most 2 level apart, though back to 1 by the end of the session. The DM is handing out the same amount of experience at the end of each encounter. I was fiddling around with an encounter calculator (no, not THAT kind of fiddling), and no matter what combinations I put it, it seemed that the lower level characters should be getting more exp with no penalty to the higher level characters. When I asked the DM about this, he said that because he was calculating the exp assuming we were all at the highest level, the higher levels were getting more exp than they would if he took into account that the lower levels should get more. Writing it down now makes it seem kinda ridiculous, but I need a better explanation than "the online encounter calculator told me so!" Help! [/QUOTE]
