Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anubis" data-source="post: 1525121" data-attributes="member: 2358">PugioilAudacio, the reason I've been working on this new proposal for XP is because set EL encounters have too many problems.  The fact is that, as you gain levels, any particular encounter should yield less XP.  The reason for this is because if you are at a lower level, the system is designed to give you more XP so you can "catch up".  This is also more realistic, as less experienced people have more to learn from any given encounter.  (To use a real life encounter, who do you think would gain more from a wrestling match: a 20 year veteran or a green rookie?  The rookie, of course!)  Basically, whatever system is finally used must incorporate that fact and must yield less and less XP for the same encounter as you gain levels or else the system breaks down.I will concede that you are right about it being the easiest system, but the loss of accuracy is far too great to be ignored in this case.  Basically, if the numbers came out in an acceptable way, I'd say "go for it", but ever since I discovered this problem in my last gaming session, it's been driving me nuts because it only makes the more experienced people widen the gap, something that makes creating items all the more costly for no real reason.I just can't believe it took this freaking long to realize there was a problem like this to begin with . . . <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
