A Wizard with a few levels of Fighter has engaged in Martial training - something a Wizard doesn't do through the course of their becoming a Wizard (at least not to the same extent anyways). They are much more proficient at "making contact" than a Wizard without the Fighters martial training - so they would be better with these types of spells than a Wizard who doesn't have levels of Fighter.  If you have a BAB that allows a second attack (such as +6/+1) then you roll each attack individually. Each attack has the possibility of being a Critical Hit, but they are determined individually. If the first attack is a Critical Hit, but the second attack is not, only the first attack has Critical Damage - the second attack (if successful) rolls damage normally. If the first attack is successful but not a Critical Hit, and the second attack is a Critical Hit, the first attack rolls normal damage and the second inflicts critical damage. Each attack is resolved seperately of eachother.  XP scales (you need more and more for each successive level, rather than a flat amount) for two main reasons:  1) So that monsters and opponents can scale. A stronger monster is worth more XP. If you changed the XP scale for characters without changing the XP scale for monsters, you're going to end up with the situation where your sixth level characters defeat a higer ECL monster, and gain enough experience from it to gain levels quicker than normal, or possibly even gain multiple levels at once. That probably wouldn't work out very well for your game. 2) The scaling of XP is meant to show the increasing difficulty of gaining high levels. It's just like learning anything. One makes great leaps in talent or skill at first, but as time goes on, it gets harder and harder to improve. Improvements become much slower and smaller. So, is your idea overpowered?: Yes. Is it a bad idea?: Yes. It completely throws off the scaling and math that the system is built upon. If the XP/class progression system causes a disconnect with you (doesn't seem realistic or seems overpowered) - maybe check out <a href="http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=58711" target="_blank">Complete_Control</a> or <a href="http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=18175&it=1" target="_blank">Buy_the_Numbers</a>. They allow you to use XP to buy (and mix and match) class abilities. They both basically allow you to play a classless game without having to rework the XP system. Hope this helped, and again, Welcome to ENWorld.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
