[QUOTE="Tzarevitch, post: 541048, member: 1792"] I fogot this in my earlier post. In the 3e PHB/DMG reprint I would like them to toss the CR system in favor of flat XP. As a DM I loathe it with a passion. The 2e flat xp system was much easier to use, combine it with the 3e unified experience table and you're in business. In alternative, in the DMG they should include USEFUL ideas on alternate xp schemes. The current blurbs in the DMG about faster and slower xp are anything but helpful because they are based on the same CR system that I so despise. The suggestion that DMs can always use free-form xp is nothing more than restating the obvious. What I really want is for them to publish some of the alternative xp systems that they thought up when they originally created 3e. I know that the current CR system could not possibly have been their first attempt. It involves far too many steps to have been a first attempt. I would really like to see the other proto-xp systems that they brainstormed before they settled on the CR system made into workable alternative xp systems. Some alternative xp systems do show up in other 3e products but I am tired of chasing through all of the books for them. All I really ask that they consolidate the alternatives in the new DMG where they belong. Tzarevitch [/QUOTE]
