[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 4231208, member: 94"] Hey, that's an excellent way to phrase it. If you could see the amount of notes I had, and feel the amount of frustration I had been going through... I was very grateful to open up the alpha have the forest come into focus myself. I can see from your work (and extrapolating the "actual" numbers from the formula) that you just rounded off the XP values to what looked good. There are undoubtedly other/better ways to round off the numbers that 240 results in, depending on how many 0's you want in the final result. IIRC (not looking at my notes) if you round off to the nearest 500 xp, across 20 levels, the PCs end up 100 XP ahead (on a total of millions of XP, that's ok...). But for the most part they'll level a little sooner sometimes and pay a little extra sometimes. [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=4226922&postcount=5]Table here.[/URL] If the "actual" result at 20th level is 2,147,500 and you round off to 2,150,000 that looks pretty good, and nobody is going to moan about having to earn an extra .1% XP.
