[QUOTE="Perun, post: 3170982, member: 6037"] When using the default XP reward method (where each character gets about the same amount of XP, with lower-level ones getting slightly more (the ratio is, IIRC, about 1:1.3, give or take), the LA +1 character will lag in XP even at 20th level (although the diference is virually negligible at that point, less than 50 XP). The higher the LA, the more pronounced the XP lag is (LA +3 is 20,000 XP behind at level 20, so he's actually level 18). A LA +1 race can buy their LA off at character level 3 (ECL 4), when they have 6,000 XP. They lose 3,000 XP, and are now a LA 0 race at 3rd level with 3,000 XP. The rest of the party is 4th level with 6,000 XP, so our LA character is 3,000 XP behind.
