XP needed for each level

[Mr Jack]

What can we extrapolate from the XP tables about the amount needed for each level? The assumption is that each encounter involves equal PCs and monsters, thus the standard monster award x the number of encounters is the amount needed for the next level. We're told 10 encounters are needed, giving the following table:

1: 0
2: 1000
3: 2250
4: 3750
5: 5500
6: 7500
7: 10000
8: 13000
9: 16500
10: 20500
11: 25500

This assumes that the XP is coming entirely from encounters, and not from Quests, but I expect we'll see some Quest adjustments, and some rounding for neatness in the final table. But that looks to be the rough shape of it.

Thoughts?

Looks good. The numbers from the article match up with Racinante's chart from just after D&D XP (PrRC, page 11). I'm betting the rest of the level XP he generated are accurate too.
