[QUOTE="genshou, post: 2653338, member: 13164"] In my first-ever game, I advanced from 1st-to-13th-level in 2 years. My head hurts right now, so I'm not inclined to figure out the average number of sessions per advancement. In game time, at the lower levels our characters leveled up about every 2 months, and at the higher levels it went as high as a year between levels a few times. One failing I see in the XP system is that it requires 13.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 (and so on) encounters. I don't like numbers that I can't actually write out because they go on to infinity. I don't even like fractional values at all. So, in my games, I increase the cost of each level increase by 12.5%. Instead of taking the aforemented amount of time, a character who participates in 15 balanced encounters earns exactly the right amount of XP to advance. [/QUOTE]
