Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 9552350" data-attributes="member: 1210">I have been re-thinking xp some more. First of all, if I give flat xp based on encounter difficulty, one of the main reasons for escalating numbers of xp required to advance- higher xp values for higher level foes- goes away. So does the number of xp required per level really need to climb? I do want higher levels to take longer, but should (f'rex) 5th level take five times as long as first level?So I am thinking about something like this:Level- XP1- 0 to 9992- 1,000 to 1,9993- 2,000 to 3,9994- 4,000 to 5,9995- 6,000 to 8,9996- 9,000 to 11,9997- 12,000 to 15,9998- 16,000 to 19,9999- 20,000 to 24,99910- 25,000 and upI'm not sold on the exact numbers yet but something like that.Second, in setting how many xp a combat (or other xp-worthy thing) is worth, I need to decide how many of that thing should get a character a level when they are at the lowest xp tier and base the value on that. For instance, if the pcs don't do anything worth gaining xp other than roleplay, I feel like it should take ten sessions to go from first to second level, so rp xp should be roughly 100 per session.So- what all do I want to give xp for? Obviously, combat.Roleplaying- I have a system for this, which I will detail in the next post.Accomplishing goals and finishing adventures.Also, I am a big fan of mixed level play, but in most systems, the way the xp charts are set up helps lower level pcs catch up. I want a mechanism for this, which I've already kind of worked up (again, details in the next post).</blockquote>
