Table 4-1 (Encounter Numbers)

[tensen]

Hal meant to say it "CAN"T " be done! just to clarify. The holiday must be getting to our brains!

Actually Doug. Hal's comment was right. You can make it an OGL product. Can't make it a d20 product. But of course the holiday cheer might be making me read things wrong too.

NO, I was right, Hal fixed it!!!

There I go, being vague again.

What Im really wanting to do is create xp tables for experience gained as a result of defeating a specific encounter, not experience required to gain a level. If I say I want to have 20 encounters between levels or that I think average party size should be based on 6 instead of 4, and I know the CRs of particular monsters (because they are released as OGC) can one reverse engineer their own experience point tables without stepping on WotC's IP (primarily their tables on page 101 and in chapter 7 of my DMG)? Or is this reverse engineering and their prohibition about xp tables in the first place (for d20 logo licensing anyway) why they have specifically left it out of the SRD to this point?

Because they wanted to leave them out. You'd have to ask Anthony that question. In any case, if you are saying you want to put "Award the party nnnn xp for overcoming this encounter." There is nothing in the d20/OGL licenses that prevents that. If you want to create tables based on the DMG tables you can't. They aren't open content. You can base your tables off of the promethius tables. (Someone have a link?) They reverse engineered the tables as clean OGC.
