When comparing classes we must look at the best possible. I.e it's rather pointless to explain why a warrior sucks when attacking with a dagger. He should be attacking with greatsword for it's whithin his power to do so. Similarily the expert that doesn't go for the synergy bonuses is sub-par. He should try to get them for they are among the things which makes him strong. But this matters little. I'm glad you at least recognise synergy as something which works the expert's way....Right now I'm looking at the variant XP-system. It's kind of neat. For instance if you want to have your players go up against a thieves guild you could do the following:The 4 characters are 6th level for a total of 9,600 XP. The thieves guild should at least consist of that. However, I want the guid to be a challenge so I decide that the guild is the equivalent of 12th level character. I.e. 19,000 XP. It breaks down like this:12th level Organization19,000Lead by:9th level spellcaster7,20011,8005th level warrior1,80010,0001 2nd level warrior9 1st level warriors3, 3006,70010 1st level experts3,0003,700Medusa3,600100(I assign the extra 100 xp to the leader.)I stat out the following: 9th level spellcaster, 5th level warrior, 2nd level warrior, 1st level warrior, 1st level expert and a medusa. Then I get a map and furnish it with the critters. I tell the players to get something from the location on the map and - voila!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
