[QUOTE="Elsidar, post: 4302976, member: 44038"] So I'm trying to make a character, and I realized that the experience point values for reaching each level are radically different from 3.X edition. 3.X had an ingenious system, where (level X 1000) was the amount of extra XP you needed to get from one level to the next. I wanted to see if 4th Edition had a similar formula to the XP progression to make recording XP easier. Here's what I came up with: [CODE] Level Total XP XP Difference Difference of the Difference 1 0 2 1000 1000 3 2250 1250 250 4 3750 1500 250 5 5500 1750 250 6 7500 2000 250 7 10000 2500 500 8 13000 3000 500 9 16500 3500 500 10 20500 4000 500 11 26000 5500 1500 12 32000 6000 500 13 39000 7000 1000 14 47000 8000 1000 15 57000 10000 2000 16 69000 12000 2000 17 83000 14000 2000 18 99000 16000 2000 19 119000 20000 4000 20 143000 24000 4000 21 175000 32000 8000 22 210000 35000 3000 23 255000 45000 10000 24 310000 55000 10000 25 375000 65000 10000 26 450000 75000 10000 27 550000 100000 25000 28 675000 125000 25000 29 825000 150000 25000 30 1000000 175000 25000 [/CODE] At first, this looks like it follows a pattern, but there are weird glitches that pop up.
