[QUOTE="WhosDaDungeonMaster, post: 7530961"] While they was probably their intent, I find that to be the case in the adventure itself, not the EXP table. If the levels represent ever-increasing powers and abilities, the EXP required should reflect that IMO. So, basically, it is like saying, obtaining Level Y won't be as rewarding as obtaining Level X, so getting to Level Y shouldn't need as much EXP. We'll just drop it below the amount needed for Level X, so you get through the "less rewarding" Level Y more quickly and move on towards working getting better "rewards" at Level Z! :) By that logic, look at obtaining 12th and 16th Levels. Most of the classes get identical rewards (mainly ASIs and Hit Points) at those levels, nothing else (a couple archetypes get a bonus spell slot maybe, but that's about all...).
