What does "the cohort earns XP at one-half the rate a PC would." mean?
Say, a 12-the level Cleric, with 4 other 12th-level PCs, got a 11th-level Cohort. Asssume the party overcomed an Encouter worth 10,000 XP.
a) When calculating XP, I do not count the cohort, because that cohort is just part of PC Cleric's power. So I devide the total XP by 5 (2,000 XP). Then, the cohort will get 1/2 of the XP the PC Cleric gained (1,000 XP).
b) I devide the total XP by 5.5. Each PCs will get that amount of XP (1,818 XP). The cohort will get half of that (909 XP).
c) I devide the total XP by 6. Each PCs will get that amout of XP (1,666 XP). The cohort will get half of that (833 XP).
