Message: <blockquote data-quote="PaulSC" data-source="post: 1367087" data-attributes="member: 16341">To clarify the 3.5 procedure:For each character in the party->  Calculate total experience as if average party level equals their level->  Divide this total by the number of party members->  That's the share for that characterThe effect is as described above.  Characters of lower levels get a bit more experience than those above them.I have a somewhat related question.Does anyone have a better way to handle this situation?Player A is say 100 exp shy of the level X.  Player B is level X by only 100 exp.  If the party has a big encounter (or several if the DM doesn't calculate exp on the fly), since Player A is of lower level (s)he gets 300 exp more than Player B.Now Player A has 100 more exp than Player B. I guess I could rule that your total exp (after an award) is the lower of:current exp + award based on being your current levelandminimum exp for next level + award based on being at the next levelDoes anyone have a better way, or am I interpretting things wrong to begin with?</blockquote>
