Oldie but quickie: What the XP formula?

[kreynolds]

That is what I thought he was asking.

So did I. If I could pat you on the shoulder reassuringly, I would.

Actually, the only acceptable answer to this question is:

"Sorry, that information is not OGC, and posting it here would violate the OGL"

"Sorry, that information is not OGC, and posting it here would violate the OGL"

...and the only acceptable reply to this would be...

"Pfft!"

 

[Sidyan]

Then again, this IS ENWorld, the Slashdot of D&D ... what was I thinking ...

If this were the WotC boards, you'd have the Wiz'Os all over you

You mean the formula is listed in the core rule books!!! Yah, would you mind giving me a page reference? I can't seem to find the copyrighted experience formula anywhere in the books. I don’t see how talking about copyrighted material violates WotC’s rights if we have not, as far as I can see, reproduced any copyrighted material.

Don't be stupid. This isn't a game product, it's a question and answer. Copyright doesn't prevent discussion and review of published works.

You cannot "violate" the OGL if you are not party to the OGL. Posting on ENworld does not require you to enter into the Open License.

The Wiz'Os can bite me. Nothing pisses me off more than a mod that's just as a fallible as everyone else but fails to admit it.

You know why I'm here, people actually know their stuff about D&D and are still polite. That's two big plusses compared to the W-boards.
