[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 3738818, member: 1622"] I went into this here: [url]http://enworld.org/showthread.php?t=204717[/url] Since XP for monsters is fixed, and we assume that killing a monster will help you level in relation to it's level compared to yours - the XP chart has to be some kind of quadratic. That way the 50xp you get for killing a goblin regardless of your level is a much bigger percentage of your XP to level at 1st than it is at 10th. I posted a proposed XP chart in the link up there. I think the 4e chart will look something like that (there are a few assumptions that I made that could get changed, but for the most part, it has to be huge at the high ends). Also, I stated in that thread that I think advancement will slow down. The "equal ECL fight" that WoTC planned to have be 13.33 encounters before you level was way too easy and most PCs fought fights which were higher ECL and therefore more XP and therefore levelled faster. I think the change from party vs 1 creature to party vs N creatures is part of the slow down (and part of making lower levels more fun). I would expect that if you run the same kind of adventures you ran in 3.x in 4, your PCs will level at about 1/3rd to 1/5th the rate. But of course, all of that is based on a lot of assumptions on my part. -Nate [/QUOTE]
