[QUOTE="kagayaku, post: 7250819, member: 6876021"] Just to give a bit of context, the reason I'm asking is that I found out today that I've been handing out way too much XP - level 2 hurtled past super quickly, and after the big battle of last session we'd be done with level 3 after just a couple of sessions if I keep doing XP the way I've been doing it. All of us are fairly new to the game and I just want to check if I've not inadvertently cheated my players out of the best levels the game has to offer for a new player. If I have I'll see what the table wants to do about it (maybe drop back to the start of level 3 to make it last longer, or just keep going if that would upset people) if not I'll just let them know that the XP rewards will be lower in future and why. I'm guessing this might be a preference thing, and in the DMG it says 1-4 levels are local hero levels, 5-10 heroes of the realm, etc. But maybe the combat feels most punchy and exciting at certain levels, or maybe it scales really well - I've no idea! Thanks for reading! Kagayaku ps. For anyone interested in my mistake: I've been using the Adjusted XP instead of Total XP (which I'm now going to stop doing) and also giving quite a bit of roleplay XP (which I'm going to carry on doing but in smaller amounts to stay in line with combat XP).
