[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 2401289, member: 1465"] You're 7th level, I guess you start from the middle of it. You can make a comparison against another PC who for instance was and still is in the middle of 8th level. You need 3500+875 Xp to get to level 8th (if 20% is burned, the threshold is 25% higher). Your friend already got to level 9th slightly before that (4000 Xp), let's see if I can make correct calculation here: Xp 0 you 7th your friend 8th 4000 him 9th 4375 you 8th 13000 him 10th 14375 you 9th 23000 him 11th 25625 you 10th 34000 him 12th 38125 you 11th 46000 him 13th 51875 you 12th 59000 him 14th 66875 you 13th 73000 him 15th 83125 you 14th 88000 him 16th 100625 you 15th 104000 him 17th 119375 you 16th 121000 him 18th 139000 him 19th 139375 you 17th 158000 him 20th 160625 you 18th ... Basically you'll be always 1-2 levels behind, or 3 for a very short time at 16th (probably not however). Will it hurt? Yes, but I have been many times in a group of characters of 2-4 levels range, and as long as they aren't very low level, it's not that the lowest ones are out of the game at all. You're still going to be a very effective member of the group. I agree however that in the case of reincarnate the xp doesn't make much sense and should not apply. [/QUOTE]
