[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6556016, member: 463"] I like my 4e game's typical advancement rate of 1 level per 4 3-hour sessions, though it was faster in Heroic Tier (we're at 22nd level now). My Pathfinder game was levelling every 2 4-hour sessions which seemed a bit quick. As far as the 5e XP table goes, it seems well suited to status-quo sandboxing, which IME gives much slower rates of XP gain than linar Adventure Path play. I played a 5e game recently where our 1st level PCs had 1 fight in 4 hours, the GM was only going to give us 50 XP for the session, but we bargained her up to 150. :) When I tried using 4e RAW for sandboxing the PCs were taking ca 6 5-hr sessions to level, it felt too slow so I had to modify it. 3e works fine as-is for sandbox (but too quick for AP I think) and 5e looks similar.
