[QUOTE="jodyjohnson, post: 6282417, member: 5590"] For levelling speed I'd rank them as: 1 (fastest). 1e - XP for GP and magic items, playing through published adventures meant several runs into the 7+ level area in 6 months of gaming as teenagers. Many times we'd level multiple times in a session. Of course each run ended in a TPK at some point. 2. 3.x - charop and scaled XP for fighting over-level meant we levelled quickly. Especially when you could end combats in a round or less. 3. 4e - most consistent levelling speed - hard fights take longer, easy fight go quicker, but XP/hour was very consistent. 4. 2e - No XP for gold or magic meant it was all about cleaving your way though huge numbers of creatures, the minuscule XP awards for class ability use, and story awards didn't amount to much when your XP needed was in the 10s or 100s of thousands. As a DM I prefer faster levelling. [/QUOTE]
