[QUOTE="Jaxom, post: 537143, member: 7470"] I just got done running an adventure for a group of split levels. I used the Forgotten Realms system when awarding experience for each encounter. In the group I have 8 players, when they all show up, and their levels are 15th to 17th level. The following example of experience shares is for a CR 17 encounter with the group mentioned above when all players are present and using the DMG chart on page 166 to get the experience award for the challenge rating. Ex: 15th level = 9,000 divided by 8 players = 1,125 to each 15th level character 16th level = 7,200 divided by 8 players = 900 to each 16th level character 17th level = 5,100 divided by 8 players = 638 to each 17th level character This lets the lower level characters advance at a faster pace for their participation in the encounter. Hint: give players their experience on paper, the players of the higher level characters get a little discouraged when they hear someone got twice as much experience. But IMO this shows the inherent danger to the lower level characters in the encounter. Also if one of the players didn't show for the above encounter, the experience would be divided by 7 and each character would aquire a higher share of experience for the encounter. :) [/QUOTE]
