level adjustment

Actually this is irrelevant to determining how much xp the party gets.

The "only" thing it does is to determine what an equivalent EL the party can "survive".


pg 37 of the DMG has it in a step-by-step listing.

1. Determine each character's level. Don't forget to account for ECL if any of the characters are of a powerful race.

2. For each monster defeated, determine that single monster's CR.

3. Use Table 2-6: Experience Point Awards (Single Monster) to cross-reference one character's level with the CR for each defeated monster to find the base xp award.

4. Divide the base xp award by the number of characters in the party. this is the amount of xp that one character receives.

5. Add up all the xp awards for all the monsters the character helped defeat.

6. Repeat the process for each character

Well as has been pointed out this is a change from what it was in 3.0 so if people didn't check on all of the changes. . . . .
