Multiply by APL (15) to get 27,000.Example 2: APL 12 party defeats a CR 6 creature. 6-12=-6, or 37.5. Multiply by APL (12) to get 450.There's also a relatively easy way to make up the table from memory... Just remember this progression of multipliers:1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12Base exp is APL x 300. Whether X (the difference between APL and CR) is positive or negative, count up the progression X steps starting with 0 (so X=1 or X=-1 is actually 1.5). If X is positive (i.e. the CR is higher than the APL) you'll multiply. Otherwise, if X is negative, divide.APL x 300 (x or ÷) multiplier</blockquote>
