[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 3782286, member: 10784"] Thanks - it seems to be a very long way to say CR1 + CR3 = 1,200 for a party that is 1st to 3rd level. For 4 PCs, divide 1,200 by 4 and you get 300 per character. Now, if next time out, there are four 1st level PCs and that one 2nd level NPC, and they encounter this evil same 3rd level cleric, but with 4 1st level warrior minions, it would then be 600 + 900 = 1,500 total XP and then divide by 5 for 300 XP again. It gets a bit confusing when, say in a few sessions when there are three PCs of 4th level and one of 3rd level (no NPC this time). They encounter the 3rd level cleric's 5th level boss (CR5) and then the boss' eight 1st level warrior minions (CR4 total?) Then, it would be: ((1,200 + 1,600) x 3) + (1,350 + 1,800) for a total XP of 11,550 divided by four PCs, so each PC gets 2,887.50. Is that correct? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
