D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

The equipment lists were expanded in UA.

Base PHB the clerics only ranged weapon is throwing hammers, and thieves only had slings.

Thieves could also throw daggers and darts. Druids had daggers, darts, hammers, and spears. And so on.

You zip pretty quickly if you are in an 8th level party getting experience designed for 8th level. Your next 4 encounters probably all get you a level.

Not RAW, as was brought up earlier and what we were talking about. RAW, once you get enough XP to level, you stop getting XP until you go back and spend the weeks and gold to train up. That doesn't happen mid-dungeon.

I thought the max xp rule was you stopped at one xp lower than what you needed to go up two levels, not after you hit enough to level. I am away from my PDFs right now so I will check later.

Thats a B/X rule

Even if that were the case, same net result: you only level once per down time.
