Ok.

Hi all!

Okay I solved the problem of the EXP equation.

Incidently the equation is:

((Level x 1/2 Level) - 1/2 Level) x 1000

 

[Cheiromancer]

(level x (level-1))/2 x 1000

One of level and (level -1) will be even, so you will never have to worry about rounding when you divide by 2.

For mental arithmatic, take level and (level -1), divide the even one by 2, multiply, then add 000 to the end.

So for level 10, you consider 10 and 9, divide 10 by 2 to get 5, multiply by 9 to get 45, and add 000 to get 45 000.

 

[Impeesa]

500 * level * (level - 1) is the minimum xp required to be at that level. Simplify when you integrate, people.

I find it easier to divide by 2, then multiply by 1000. YMMV

UK,

Do you have a nifty formula for equipment and NPCs like you do for PCs, like the x1.24 formula?

Eh, what can I say? My TI-83 is pretty much with me at all times.

Hiya mate!

Hey! This is me!

x 1.140625 should suffice.

I like both of those thanks guys.

I think I am on the verge of solving the Treasure problem. Though I believe our old friend Anubis wants to comment on this. He perhaps believes he has a better system and wants to get some feedback.

My new Treasure Rules are currently (with nods to Impeesa):

(90*CR +1*CR) +30

I'll amend the Table in v5 (for those who know that Table).

If people think Anubis ideas have merit then I will incorporate them, otherwise I can go ahead tomorrow with v5. Give Anubis a fair shout though.

Is Anubis going to post his suggestion in this thread?

Or has he done so, and I managed to overlook it?
