[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 3716023, member: 1622"] ok, so back to charts.... this uses the 300XP for a CR 1 fight from 3.5, translated to 4e's "encounter with 5 monsters of equal level", and assuming 1000 XP for level 1, and assuming that a single level 5 guy will be a similar challenge for that group, and therefore should be of equal value. [code] Level XP Total XP Per Equal Level Monster (5 of which make an equal level encounter) 1 0 75 2 1,000 125 3 2,667 175 4 5,000 250 5 8,333 375 6 13,333 625 7 21,667 875 8 33,333 1,250 9 50,000 1,875 10 75,000 3,125 11 116,667 4,375 12 175,000 6,250 13 258,333 9,375 14 383,333 15,625 15 591,667 21,875 16 883,333 31,250 17 1,300,000 46,875 18 1,925,000 78,125 19 2,966,667 109,375 20 4,425,000 156,250 21 6,508,333 234,375 22 9,633,333 390,625 23 14,841,667 546,875 24 22,133,333 781,250 25 32,550,000 1,171,875 26 48,175,000 1,953,125 27 74,216,667 2,734,375 28 110,675,000 3,906,250 29 162,758,333 5,859,375 30 240,883,333 9,765,625 [/code] Ramifications of this - your bog standard CR 1 guy, say a ghoul, is going to be worth 75 XP now, instead of 300. But he's expected to be there with 4 of his buddies, so when your five member party takes them on, everyone gets 75 xp. That's 1/13.3333 of level 1, same as it was in 3.5. "But hey wait!" you say "we just fought 5 guys, whose combined XP in 3.5 would have been 1500... why aren't we each getting 300?" Well... that's why I said levelling is going to slow down. No more "two fights and you hit level 2". You actually have to work for it. It even works pretty well with the 8 CR less being worth no xp. When you're 9th level and need 25,000xp to level, and monsters on your level (who are pretty easy to kill) are worth 1875 xp.... you may not even bother recording the 75 xp you got off that one spare ghoul among all the Mummies. I really like this chart... the levels are pretty smoothly laid out, monsters a level behind you give about 2/3 of what monsters of this level give... monsters one level above give about 50% more XP (might be a bit high).... -Nate [/QUOTE]
