Six?) requires 10x XP to level up (so 2nd level is 3000 XP), with 50% reduced XP from monsters if you don't kill or permanently dispose of them, and additionally reduced XP if the monster's CR is lower than your level. On the other hand, you do get XP for spending gold offscreen on character goals (like wooing a love interest or saving your home village) on a 1:1 basis--basically you can convert gold to XP. So, if anyone ever earns the 3,550,000 XP necessary to get to twentieth level it will almost certainly be from spending treasure and not from killing monsters.As I said, it's a new campaign, but so far the advancement pace is working really nicely. Everyone is still 2nd or 3rd level, and four Shadow Demons are a really scary threat, and even regular orcs are something that the players are cautious around.</blockquote>
