Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cheiromancer" data-source="post: 1509330" data-attributes="member: 141">This is more or less the equivalent of thinking out loud, but here goes...Suppose that 13.33 encounters of the same CR as a party are enough to get that party to the next level (because of the standard array, a 10th level character is CR 11; a party of four 10th level characters thus gets 13.33 CR 11 encounters).  Assume that doubling the CR of an encounter quadruples the XP earned.  (Which is the basis of Upper Krust's CR/EL system).  Then....Then the XP per CR chart would look like the following:[code][color=Blue]CR      XP  [/color]1    752    3003    6004    1,2005    1,8006    2,4007    3,6008    4,8009    6,00010    7,20011    8,40012    9,60013    12,00014    14,40015    16,80016    19,20017    21,60018    24,00019    26,40020    28,80021    31,20022    33,60023    36,00024    38,40025    43,20026    48,00027    52,80028    57,60029    62,40030    67,20031    72,00032    76,80033    81,60034    86,40035    91,20036    96,00037    100,80038    105,60039    110,40040    115,20041    120,00042    124,80043    129,60044    134,40045    139,20046    144,00047    148,80048    153,60049    163,20050    172,80051    182,40052    192,00053    201,60054    211,20055    220,80056    230,40057    240,00058    249,60059    259,20060    268,80061    278,40062    288,00063    297,60064    307,20065    316,80066    326,40067    336,00068    345,60069    355,20070    364,80071    374,40072    384,00073    393,60074    403,20075    412,80076    422,40077    432,00078    441,60079    451,20080    460,80081    470,40082    480,00083    489,60084    499,20085    508,80086    518,40087    528,00088    537,60089    547,20090    556,80091    566,40092    576,00093    585,60094    595,20095    604,80096    614,40097    633,60098    652,80099    672,000100    691,200[/code]The level/xp chart remains unchanged, but I'll reprint it up to level 100.  (Technically it should be 1000 xp greater from level 8 on, but I think the numbers look nicer the way they are).[code][color=Blue]Level   Required XP[/color]1    02    1,0003    3,0004    7,0005    13,0006    21,0007    33,0008    48,0009    68,00010    92,00011    120,00012    152,00013    192,00014    240,00015    296,00016    360,00017    432,00018    512,00019    600,00020    696,00021    800,00022    912,00023    1,032,00024    1,160,00025    1,304,00026    1,464,00027    1,640,00028    1,832,00029    2,040,00030    2,264,00031    2,504,00032    2,760,00033    3,032,00034    3,320,00035    3,624,00036    3,944,00037    4,280,00038    4,632,00039    5,000,00040    5,384,00041    5,784,00042    6,200,00043    6,632,00044    7,080,00045    7,544,00046    8,024,00047    8,520,00048    9,032,00049    9,576,00050    10,152,00051    10,760,00052    11,400,00053    12,072,00054    12,776,00055    13,512,00056    14,280,00057    15,080,00058    15,912,00059    16,776,00060    17,672,00061    18,600,00062    19,560,00063    20,552,00064    21,576,00065    22,632,00066    23,720,00067    24,840,00068    25,992,00069    27,176,00070    28,392,00071    29,640,00072    30,920,00073    32,232,00074    33,576,00075    34,952,00076    36,360,00077    37,800,00078    39,272,00079    40,776,00080    42,312,00081    43,880,00082    45,480,00083    47,112,00084    48,776,00085    50,472,00086    52,200,00087    53,960,00088    55,752,00089    57,576,00090    59,432,00091    61,320,00092    63,240,00093    65,192,00094    67,176,00095    69,192,00096    71,240,00097    73,352,00098    75,528,00099    77,768,000100    80,072,000[/code]Now according to this chart, Upper Krust's example works out like this:1 Great Red Wyrm is CR 62 = 288,000 xpEach Balor is CR 33 = 81,600 xpEach Vrock is CR 15 = 16,800 xpEach Babau is CR 10 = 7,200 xpAdd them up:288,000+3 x 81,600+10 x 16,800+14 x 7,200Total: 772,800 xpIn the EL system I posted previously, this is almost exactly halfway between an EL 27 and an EL 28.  Which seems about right.Ooh!  Something else that's neat; Upper Krust's suggest PC wealth is 100 gp x level cubed.  i.e. 800 gp at level 2, 2700 gp at level 3, 6400 gp at level 4, and so on.  That is very, very close to the total xp that a character of those levels possesses; xp is a bit higher early on, and drops to eighty some percent of the suggested wealth later on.  So in this system treasure can be linked to the xp value of a monster on approximately a 1:1 basis.That is a very happy coincidence!</blockquote>
