[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 297146, member: 115"] Maybe I'm just missing the point completely. I was thinking that the experience you were giving humans was experience for doing the simple act of living day to day. Simple survival. Likewise for Elves. Am I wrong? Lending credence to my assumption that you're not assigning experience based on living, but specific, undefined challenges. Surviving a plague, for example, or fending off the wolves that are attack the crop (not necessarily killing them, maybe the simple act of hiring adventurers as a solution to the problem is enough). What determines how many of these are faced in, say, a year? Do Elves just magically have less experiences than Humans? "Eh, another plague, nothing special, done it three times before", and they get no experience? Or is it that Elves just don't face the challenges? They just let the wolves kill the flock and herd more animals? Needless to say, I'm a bit confused by your logic. So Elves are lazy because they live a long time? That explanation I could live with, but it's still cultural, even if it is a result of long lifespan. Another group of Elves could be quite active; it's all a matter of what sort of culture you imagine Elves to have. Maybe one groups faces more challenges than another? So then overall level should be higher, right? [/QUOTE]
