are EXP charts cut any? I see it's 2x, which is WAY less than what morbid is normally..just wondering.

welp ... it used to be 7x, and you used to be level 50 in less then a month. that's retarted IMO. and since i'm running it from scratch with my rules now, i get to make it how i want it :) I was thinking of not going with the 2x and going with lower charts since i think that makes more sense. only problem was I don't know how much to lower an exp chart to make it equivalent to whatever monster exp multiplication. I would be willing to go to an equivelant exp chart of a 3x or 4x monster exp.

ok, i went with -30% class charts. i think thats equal to around 3x monster multiplication.

[Platinum]

1/2 charts = 2x

1/3 charts = 3x

1/4 charts = 4x..etc

I may very well play this go-round..so let me know if you need any help with anything. I didn't ask about the exp being low because I like it high, I actually prefer it to be less than what morbid used to be..was just wondering because I was always used to morbid being higher, grin.



Again, lemme know if ya need anything.

1/3 LESS the total, or 1/3 OF the total?



e.g:



"OF the toal": 1/3 charts = 3x monster multi. = (class exp chart*.33)

(220% * .33 = 72.6)



OR



"LESS the toal": 1/3 charts = 3x monster multi. = [(class exp chart)-(class exp chart*.33)]

(220% - (220% * .33) = 147.4)



?

I think plat is using the reasoning, if you need 1000 exp @ 10 exp per to level, making the 10 exp to 20 exp would be 2x exp. Making that 1000 exp to 500 exp and keeping the 10 exp per monster would have the same effect. So, I assume he means exp chart / 2 or 3 or 4.

[CaspianArcblade]

It would be "of the total"



For instance, if normally it takes me 1000exp to reach level 1 on a 100% exp chart. I kill a monster worth 100exp; I am then 10% of the way to my level. But, if my exp chart were 50%, meaning I need 500exp to reach level 1, and then I killed a monster worth 100exp, I would be 20% of the way to my level. Consequently, each monster, though it is giving a normal level experience, is worth to my character 200% its normal value. Consequently 2x.



BUT the problem with this is the exp charts will inevitably become unimportant because the balance created by races/classes which have 0% exp cost are basically negated. Just something to think about. A fairer way to reach 2x exp would be to multiply monster experience. I know you're not that interested in it, but it keeps the balance of the game intact more than fiddling with charts.

FYI .. i moved the time to 3PM ET. I have to go out at 6PM and I want to make sure things are running smoothly for a few hours.
