[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 1518008, member: 141"] Because, according to Upper Krust's charts (table 2-1), doubling the CR of a creature increases the EL by +4 and increasing EL by +4 quadruples the experience awarded (table 2-8). For example (from table 2-1) [code] CR EL 1 1 2 5 4 9 8 13 16 17 32 21 64 25 128 29 etc. [/code] and [code] CR EL 3 7 6 11 12 15 24 19 48 23 96 27 etc. [/code] And similarly for CRs of 5, 10, 20, 40; doubling CR increases the EL by +4. From table 2-8 you see the following: [code] EL Difference XP awarded PEL -8 Party Level x 18.75 PEL -4 Party Level x 75 PEL +/-0 Party Level x 300 PEL +4 Party Level x 1200 PEL +8 Party level x 4800[/code] and [code] EL Difference XP awarded PEL -7 Party Level x 25 PEL -3 Party Level x 100 PEL +1 Party Level x 400 PEL +5 Party Level x 1600[/code] and so on, for differences of EL of -6 and -5; every +4 to the EL of an encounter quadruples the XP awarded. From these two facts (doubling CR increases EL by +4; increasing EL by +4 quadruples awarded XP) we can conclude that doubling CR quadruples XP. Hence the relationship between XP and CR is quadratic.
